Phra Mae Thorani (and Mae Phosop).

statues of mae thorani earth goddess
Mae Thorani (sometime written Phra Toranee or Jao Mae Torani)
is the earth goddess, and is mentionned in the scriptures relating the life of the Buddha.

mae thorani the buddha and mara
When the Buddha started his final meditation under the Boddhi tree, the demon Mara came
with his army of monsters and asked the Buddha what right he had to sit at this place ?

The Buddha then simply touched the earth and Phra Mae Thorani appeared and by twisting
her hairs made an extremely large quantity of water appear (this water symbolise the merits accumulated by the Buddha), and this water drowned the demon's army.
The Buddha was then free to continue with his meditation.

Another way to see this story is that when into deep troubles,
the UNIQUE God that the Buddha called for help was the earth Goddess, and that
she is so powerful that she just need to dry her hairs to kill an army of demons...
so better not to make her angry...

From this story it is clear that the UNIQUE deity a Buddhist can pray to is Mae Thorani
(after all the Buddha himself asked her for help).
