Unusual undergarment ritual stems from tragic legend involving beautiful young woman who met a violent death at hands of her father

People are flocking to an island in Thailand that is shaped like a woman’s chest to pray for romantic luck.

The unusual ritual takes place on Koh Nom Sao, or Breast Milk Island, in Prachuap Khiri Khan province in the west of the country.

The island is just a 10-minute boat ride from the mainland and so-called worshippers often arrive bearing bras as symbolic offerings of gratitude.

The origins of the ritual stem from a tragic legend involving a beautiful young woman called Yomdoy.
