Buddist (or Buddhist if you like) Amulets are to be found in several countries, but most of them will be found in Thailand and Nepal, where the Tibetans have taken refuge. Thai Buddist amulets are a worldwide phenomenon. In recent years, people all around the world have begun to hear of the magic powers that some of these amulets are reputed to posess, and Thai Buddhist amulets has received a massive increase in following from both the religious, and art lover circles. The topic is interesting from the point of view of Asian Buddhist Art, as well as for the Sacred Power they posess, and the protection and help they might bring the wearer in his or her life.
The amulet to the left, for example, "Phra Khun Paen long ya gumarn tong dan hlang" (it has a gumarn tong on the back side), is very revered for it's powers of attraction, many men wear this amulet to attract women. The Gumarn Tong on the rear side is for "Choke Laap" (luck and fortune) and to attract belongings. Due to the massive increase in interest for Thai Buddist amulets i decided to finally begin to blog on the subject, due to the fact that i have been studying the making of amulets in Thailand under various masters since ten years now, and am able to explain the topic in detail in the English language, for those unable to read Thai. The amulet Market is a rat race in Asia, so oyu must be careful and choosy about what you rent (we don;t say "buy" for amulets, we say "rent") - prices may seem to vary for the same amulet.. sometimes you pay a lot for a fake and a little for an authentic one etc..
You need the info to researcvh with, and this is one reason i am giving you this blog. Anyone wishing to analyze their amulet can ask here per comment and post a link to the foto of your amulet.
I hope the Buddist Amulet blog proves useful to you all.
