One of the most popular rice goddesses in the ancient Thai religion is Phosop. Although she is still honoured today, she is mainly regarded as an ancient deity instead of a part of the mainstream religion. This means that her worship has mostly been relegated to rice growing regions.

In Thai culture, the rice goddess is known as Mae Posop, and she is regarded as a powerful deity who can help harvest the rice. Since she is a shy and easily frightened individual, no men are allowed to approach her before the harvest begins. A miscarriage among women might also occur during this period due to her fear.

Phosop is usually depicted as a beautiful woman wearing a traditional jewellery set. She is usually shown wearing a green or red dress in order to represent the harvest's fertility. She is also depicted sitting or standing and holds a rice sheaf on either her right shoulder or against her right arm.

The images of Phosop are based on ancient customs and local traditions. However, in modern times, the modern depiction of the rice goddess is mainly based on a Hindu goddess known as Devi. In smaller regions, a young woman from a village can be considered as Phosop in order to represent her in various festivals.
