[4] In modern Thailand, paying homage to Phosop by rice farmers is more and more rare; however, Queen Mother Sirikit gave royal patronage to this ancient custom of Thai folklore in August 2008.
[8] The iconographic representation of Phosop is of a beautiful woman wearing full jewelry and a red or green dress.
[11] In certain locations a young village woman may dress as Phosop during local rice harvest festivals and celebrations.
Dances to propitiate the rice goddess are common among the Khmu people, a Mon-Khmer group living mostly in northern Laos and also in Vietnam.
According to a manuscript in Wat Si Saket, after a thousand-year famine one day a young man caught a golden fish.
But one day an unrighteous king brought about again a famine on the land by storing the rice that was due to the people in order to acquire gold, elephants and luxury goods for himself.
The old couple taught humans how to cultivate this new rice in small grains and the Buddhist doctrine flourished.
[16] According to another legend of the Vientiane region the Phi Na, a tutelary spirit that looks after the rice fields originated in the skull, the mouth and the teeth of Nang Khosop.
Therefore, there are only a few shrines built to pay homage to Phosop were Wat Siri Wattanaram temple in Taling Chan's Bang Phrom.
