Thai new car direction
In Thailand many people pick a lucky moment and a lucky direction for a new car's first drive, often after a blessing at a temple. This old rule needs only your age: add 28 and divide by 8, and the remainder gives the direction in which to drive the car out for the first time.
Direction by age
| (Age + 28) divided by 8 leaves | Direction |
|---|---|
| 0 | South-west (SW) |
| 1 | North-east (NE) |
| 2 | East (E) |
| 3 | South-east (SE) |
| 4 | South (S) |
| 5 | West (W) |
| 6 | North-west (NW) |
| 7 | North (N) |
Translated from the Thai page; the Thai names of the directions (such as Isan for the north-east) are left out.
