My time looking after some dogs. A bit silly but also a bit cute. Filmed at Machima's house in Sangkhlaburi, Thailand. Music is by Philip Glass.
It's illegal to take ANY Buddha images out of Thailand. Can go to prison.
Fake amulet market 😂😂😂 enjoy...
Great documentary - I would love a part 2 or an expanded version on how they are made, how to select them for different scenarios and how to maintain their powers.
Let people believe what they want. Some hang a clove of garlic around their neck, others a dried mutton testicle, or a piece of Jesus' foreskin (there are several square meters of that). I believe and hope for accident insurance, pension insurance and so on People who stand by me in times of need... there is an insurance policy in the car... and not an amulet from any person... The amulet trade is also a business that is done with faith or superstition... in my eyes, nothing more and nothing less.. Gauthama Sittharda would be horrified today at what people have made of his teachings. also in this market..
trapachan 99% is fakes amulet
Thank you bro for the docco well done

Thanks a lot that is the exact piece of information that I was looking for 🙏🏻
Do you have phra Sinai for sale?
Phra Sivali for sale
Very good video
The amulets indicate belief in a higher power, I think
Evil spirits being scared by Buddha, Buddha wouldn’t have expelled evil spirits, he would have preach to them and turned them into good spirits
Very interesting!
Thank u for this great documentary. Helps folks like me in discerning between real faith and placebo faith via the amulet route. There's nothing wrong in wearing a Buddha amulet akin to a cross or crucifix in Christianity if it helps an individual to strengthen psychological needs in their respective beliefs .
Yeah but that's not what it does. You're reducing an entire cultural phenomenon to what you're willing to believe it's worth.
Great documentary mate, appreciate the time and effort gone into this.
Maybe I should have been born in Thailand. I'd like an amulet for luck, health, money and girls.
I have some for sale if you want , genuine ones not fake
i was not born Thai,but im into this culture
wonderful movie metta-thank-you
