This ~3m in diameter water wheel is part of a group of water features in a modern, public market on the eastern side of the northern Thai city of Udon Thani. The attached plaque tells that the wheel is dedicated to money, happiness, health, and luck. The wheel turns, water is carried up and over from the basin, then emptied back. Rather fetching in appearance.
The plaque lists in three languages presumably the same message. In English:
Wheel of Wish
A symbol of good fortune, the Water Wheel brings happiness, luck, and good health. It draws goodness to life while expelling the bad. The free-form flow of water all day long promotes prosperity, serenity, and peacefulness to nourish you throughout the year.
The Wheel of Wish spins 365 days of the year, cycling a stream of happiness as well as faith, offering its best wishes to visitors who will enjoy wealth that flows like water, health as strong as a mountain, and happiness that fills the heart.
