Thai Amulet Sales Blog

The best place to find Thai amulets to buy in Thailand is, of course, at one of the many Buddhist temples in the country.

After studying Buddhist amulets for a few months we decided that the best way we could begin an amulet business was by offering amulets straight from the Buddhist temples close to us – on the internet where people across the world could buy them.

The Thai amulets we sell are available at temples in southern and northeastern Thailand. We don’t have a monopoly on them. We don’t make them. We don’t have any special deals on them when we purchase them from the temple – even if we purchase in bulk. We accept whatever price they say – and purchase them to sell to you wherever in the world you are.

If you are coming to Thailand – don’t buy amulets from us online. Just buy them at the temples. Same, 100% authentic amulets.

Are all Buddhist temples selling authentic amulets?

Yes, and no.

Some Thai Buddhist temples don’t sell Thai amulets at all. Wat Suan Mokkh in Chaiya, north of Surat Thani – don’t sell any amulets whatsoever. The founder, Buddhadasa Bhikku, didn’t believe in them. He has since passed on, but the belief remains – and nobody is to sell amulets at that temple. There are t-shirts in the library, and some postcards and books, some videotapes and audio CD’s, but no amulets, Thai bracelets, necklaces, or anything like that.

Most temples do sell amulets. If there are monks or majee (nuns) working at the amulet stand, you can assume it is an official collection of amulets for the temple you are at. If it is a kind man or woman, then most likely this amulet stand is NOT full of genuine articles. The amulets at such a stand are probably blessed by the monks and or abbot of the temple you are at, but, there are probably some that are official from the temple – and some that are not. Which are which? Anyone’s guess.

Buy only from the Thai amulet stands that are operated by monks or majee. This way you cannot go wrong.

From across the globe you can buy Thai amulets at our amulet shop where we now have over 400 amulets for sale. We give you a free necklace with every amulet, two free blessed Buddhist bracelets from the temple, and free shipping.

Buying direct from the temple, or buying from us – buying direct from the temple – you are guaranteed to be receiving official, 100% authentic Thai Buddhist (Theravada Buddhist) amulets. You are sure to have a good experience.

Over the past two months we’ve been buying Thai amulets at the two Buddhist temples near our home. We didn’t originally want to keep inventory because it’s money that goes out that takes a long time to come in.

But, the temples are very inconsistent with which amulets, bracelets, yant flags, and other Buddhist accessorites they have available and ordering is a long process that takes months to fulfill an order. We’re still waiting on some white Buddha Thai amulets we ordered 5+ months ago! Supposedly they are coming in about 10 days – we’ll see!

The temple isn’t a business – so we understand! But, we had to take things into our own hands a little bit. We purchased over 800 Thai amulets to sell – and probably 300 Thai amulets are not on any of the pages you see here on the Thai Amulet Sales Blog (thaiamuletsales.com/blog/) – or the main site (thaiamuletsales.com).

We’re trying to figure out what to do about getting them all up online so you can see them and order them. There are some really beautiful gold amulets that would make perfect gifts from Thailand. We may just put up page after page of photos of the inventory we have and you can order right from that page. We’ll give you a front and reverse side shot of the amulets and tell you what they are. This way we don’t have to make separate galleries for the images and order pages with all the info.

I think that’s how we’ll handle this Thai amulet dilemma. We just don’t have time to give each one a separate page – especially since most of the amulets we have now are singles – we only have one amulet, not many of the same amulets.

Those of you that have ordered know that we almost always put extra freebies in the envelope with your Thai amulet orders. If you don’t know – now you do! We bought about 50 black necklaces of different styles that we will either be selling or giving away with the Thai amulet. Not sure which. Currently we give a Yant flag, but they are bulky and maybe give the postal people a curious mind about what’s inside. They also have slightly pointed edges which one post office told us wasn’t so cool.

So – we’ll see about that too.
