Stop the Rain with a Female Virgin and Lemongrass.
One of the common superstitious beliefs in Thailand is that if you give lemongrass to a virgin lady and she stabs it upside down in the ground, it will stop raining. On the other hand, if the woman isn't a virgin, it's going to pour rain down. It is an old Thai ritual, a kind of test to prove in a lady purity and virginity.

Don’t Cut Your Hair on a Wednesday
In ancient Siam, Wednesday was viewed as the day of agriculture and gave rise to a Thai expression which translates as ‘Don’t cut on Wednesdays and don’t pull out on Thursdays’. With farming and the land so important to a rural population, it’s plausible that everything would be done to ensure good luck for the crops and it’s easy to imagine how the no cutting crops on Wednesday belief could have extended to not cutting hair on that day too.
