Subject: Re: Meaning of Thai amulets and lucky charms Posted on: Thu, 1 Mar 2007 06:51:28 +0000 (UTC)

Ken,

My uncle then brought that buddha to ask his friend who is a buddha
dealer
at Talat Sao. His friend asked where did you get this from? And his
friend
told him he would trade anything and everything for that one buddha.

My uncle realized that he was not joking. So he kept it to himself.

I went back to Laos quite often. For my safety, my uncle decided to
give it
to me for my protection.

My Thai friend saw it, and he told please think of him first before I
give it
to someone else.

Next time OK, gotta go home.

Smooth D
