Come to think of it, amongst Thais there are of course a number that know an awful lot about this. Digging the garden over 6 years ago I came upon a 'Buddha amulet' - as they call them, actually a priest. It was rather worn but it took my fancy so I got it fixed on a chain and never take it off, not so much because I am superstitious but my wife won't let me! Anyway, I have twice been approached by people that wanted to see it, one offered me ฿30 000.- I still know nothing about it. What I am interested in are the Phallad Giks, phalli made of all sorts of materials. Years ago my then girlfriend found one on an archaeological dig in Sweitzerland, very similar as far as I can recall, to the ones you find here. At the time nothing was known about the origin or purpose of these amulets, which seemed out of place amongst the usual saints' amulets. I'm thinking this must date back to pre-Buddhist times (Shiva). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google "phallic amulets + Thailand" for a lot of popular information on the palad gik. In the context of history and culture the Journal of the Siam Society is a very good source with an online archive going back to its founding in 1903. Through the years there have been numerous articles on Thai amulets in general and palad giks in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
