Thailand's 'Child Angels'

Luk Thep or Child Angels are uncannily life-like dolls that have been blessed by Buddhist monks so that a wandering spirit is invited to inhabit them. They made world headlines after an airline ran a promotion offering to sell seats for the dolls to travel with their owners. Pinpaka Ngamsom from ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Thai tells us that the dolls are believed to bring luck to their owners, many of whom lavish love and gifts on them.
