AI Fortune-Telling Reimagines Thai Beliefs with Digital Confidence
Artificial intelligence is reshaping a longstanding Thai tradition by bringing fortune-telling into the online age. In Thailand, fortune-telling—locally known as Mor Doo—has long guided decisions on love, career, and business. Now, digital platforms and AI tools are offering quick, personalized readings that blend time-honored beliefs with modern technology, illustrating both continuity and change in how Thais seek certainty in an uncertain world.
This shift resonates strongly with younger readers. A Bangkok resident who goes by the nickname “Whan” turned to ChatGPT for guidance about her relationship after deciding the traditional session was too costly and time-consuming. She provided details of her birth chart and uploaded images for palm and facial readings. In response, AI delivered rapid, tailored advice around the clock. Across Thai social media, tutorials appear on how to obtain AI readings, and many users praise the speed and perceived accuracy of these digital services.
