Published caption :Enshrined in Botataung Pagoda, located on the river in downtown Yangon, is a relic of the Lord Buddha. For many Thai tourists, however, this temple is better known for a shrine in the same compound dedicated to a nat named Boboyi. A nat is a spirit worshipped in Myanmar in conjunction with Buddhism. A Thai businessman once made a wish at the shrine of this nat and his wish was apparently granted. Since then, the site has proven a big draw for Thai pilgrims, particularly those seeking success in a business venture.
