I rounded a bend in the path, half expecting to come face-to-face with the slithering monster. Instead, it was a small army of Thai matrons engaged in one of the country's most popular pastimes?trying to discern lucky lottery numbers by swirling powder over the bumps and ridges of the broad palm trunks.
