Love-seeking Thai women visit breast-shaped island, offering bras as thanks if wishes granted
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. Devotees queue up at the island shrine, bras in hand, to offer thanks for their romantic wishes being granted. Photo: handout The origins of the ritual stem from a tragic legend involving a beautiful young woman called Yomdoy. Her father wanted to secure Yomdoy's marriage to a Chinese ruler, while her mother preferred she marry a prince from Phetchaburi province in central Thailand. In a violent outburst, the father killed Yomdoy and cast her body into the sea. According to the tale, one of her breasts became the sacred Koh Nom Sao, while the other formed a twin island in Chanthaburi province in eastern Thailand.

Bob Dylan, 84, Turns Heads During Recent Concert Duet: 'Always Creating Musical Tension'
If there's one thing you can count on, it's that musical legend Bob Dylan is going to go his own way. The star has made a career out of "confounding expectations," as he famously said in his MusiCares acceptance speech. For 60 years, the singer-songwriter has been constantly reinventing and changing himself to throw people off. He's never going to do the thing you expect. This has been true in every aspect of his career, whether that's his look, his persona, or the way he performs his songs. A recent performance of Dylan's has caused some conversation, specifically around his aging voice and the way he performs in his current state. A clip from his Outlaw Festival performance of "All Along the Watchtower" with Billy Strings seems to have stirred some opinions. Fans left their thoughts on the performance, as well as the text overlay from the video in the comments. "If you don't get Dylan, you're deficient in some way." "Dylan is an acquired taste." "Dylan creating musical tension as always. 🔥✌️" It appears that Dylan has done what he's always done: Create discourse, make people think, and always march to the beat of his own drum.🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Bob Dylan, 84, Turns Heads During Recent Concert Duet: 'Always Creating Musical Tension' first appeared on Parade on May 27, 2025
