Suvannamaccha (Thai: สุพรรณมัจฉา; RTGS: Suphannamatcha or Suphan Matcha; Khmer: សុវណ្ណមច្ឆា, ALA-LC: Suvaṇṇmacchā; Pali: सुवण्णमच्छा, suvaṇṇamacchā; literally "golden fish") is a daughter of Ravana (Thotsakan) appearing in the Thai and other Southeast Asian versions of Ramayana.[1] She is a mermaid princess who tries to spoil Hanuman's plans to build a bridge to Lanka but falls in love with him instead.[2]
The figure of Suvannamaccha is popular in Thai folklore and is represented on small cloth streamers or framed pictures that are hung as luck-bringing charms in shops and houses throughout Thailand.
