Buddha Shop
The Buddha Shop Is Open
In the past we had promised to pass on some of the treasures we’ve found while traveling around Thailand and visiting the many temples located there. Well, we have finally put together a collection of some of our findings and are now offering them here at what we are calling “The Buddha Shop“. The shop has various amulets, many different Buddha images, and then a miscellaneous category to cover some of our other finds.
All of these amulets and Buddha images have actually been blessed by the monks at the temples where we found these, including Wat Phra Keao, Wat Pho, Wat Ratchanaddaram and other temples.
