Palad Khik (penis amulet) Palad Khik [ปลัดขิก] is a replica of a penis of an adult, often made of wood and used as an amulet. For many foreigners, it is a collectible. The worship of this penis amulet has no erotic purpose whatsoever. According to a traditional belief, this practice spread to Thailand from India around 2,000 years ago. There are many legends trying to explain the origin of this worship, but the most convincing story is based on the worship of the Trimurti: Shiva, Brahma, and Vishnu. The three deities once appeared to worshipers. Brahma appeared with four faces and four arms while Vishnu appeared in his deity form, but Shiva only made his masculine part visible. After this apparition, amulets were created to represent the three deities as they appeared. Thais adopt this Hindu belief and hang the amulet at the waist, believing that it will save them from harm. Even small children benefit from this amulet. When children are around 3-4 years old, they will star...

Khwai Tanu (guardian buffalo) Through “Khwai Tanu” [ควายธนู] or the guardian buffalo, we can observe the superstitious beliefs that stemmed from the agricultural society of Thailand and the practice of rice farming and buffalo raising. This guardian buffalo is a puppet that can be made from a variety of materials, such as bamboo, clay, beeswax, or cursed metals like coffin nails from seven cemeteries, steel from pagoda tops, etc. The buffalo puppet has to be consecrated according to the ritual. Owners of the Khwai Tanu amulets must feed them well with grass and water and let them roam free from time to time. The belief in the guardian buffalo exists in every region of Thailand. Some believe that it can be used to guard houses or rice fields, protect the owners against ghosts and thieves, and can even be ordered to kill enemies. In some places, however, it is seen as just another amulet to carry around. Information by: https://www.thailandfoundation.or.th/th/culture_heritage...
