Thai religious amulet necklaces are a popular form of spiritual protection and personal belief in Malaysia. These amulets, also known as "Khian poh" in Thai, hold immense significance for Thai people and have gained popularity among Malaysians as well. The amulets are typically made from various materials, such as metal, clay, or wood, and are believed to contain magical powers that can bring good luck, protection, and ward off evil spirits. Amulets are believed to be imbued with the energy of Buddhist monks or other spiritual practitioners who have the ability to consecrate them. The amulets often feature intricate designs and symbols, such as Buddha images, deities, animals, or sacred inscriptions, which are believed to enhance their protective qualities. The wearer of the amulet believes that it serves as a connection to the spiritual realm and offers a form of spiritual guidance and protection in their daily lives.

This website is not attempting to create an ultimate web resource reference on Thai amulets. It was originated from a casual discussion and started off by displaying a few personal possessions among some of my close friends. There could have been millions of Thai amulets being produced so far and all the showcased pieces herein the site may not be among the most prized collection but they do serve as a basic purpose in bridging other surfers who may share a common interest as well as promoting the basic fundamental information of this very oriental form of religious culture. On the other hand, the framework of the site is not entirely conventional and has been designed in such a way so it can accommodate more future participation - if it ever appeals to other collectors. Lastly, this website will remain essentially as a non-profitable web resource - whatever and how it will grow in its content.
