Amulet Market at Wat Mahathat
Trok Wat Mahathat, Thanon Maharat Area Phra NakornAbout
Amulet Market at Wat Mahathat, Maha Rat Rd (Tha Chang Pier). 09:00-17:00 daily. Right beside the Chao Phraya River is the amulet market, an indoor warren of alleys with dozens of vendors selling amulets, charms, talismans and other religious objects. They come in all shapes and sizes, and represent various Hindu or Buddhist deities. The amulets ward off evil spirits or bring good luck and fortune. Each amulet gives a specific kind of luck, so inquire with the vendor. You can get one for as cheap as 5 baht. Better looking ones cost around 20-100 baht, or as much as you want to spend on it. More amulets can be bought at the street market in front of Wat Mahathat, where many sellers line up along the pavement. There are also many traditional medicine shops along this road.
