Amulet Market — Local services in Ratsada

Pretty cool little spot in Phuket Old Town. Walking distance from walking street and not hard to find with Google maps. It's a small alley of table stalls, maybe 5 stalls in all. But the surrounding area also has a number of amulet shops so between both you will have way more than enough choice. The market stall owners were all nice and obviously knowledgeable. I visited each first to see their goods and ended up getting one amulet from each to keep it fair lol. I was also able to get the amulets cased in a shop very close by and my kids picked a chain each for themselves. Average cost was about 250 bhat per amulet and the same again for a chain and case. Everyone enjoyed this experience and got something nice to bring back home and keep to...

Very pleasant experience. I would highly recommend visiting. Beautiful helpful people 🙏 will definitely return next year!

UPDATE: Had a few of my phra somdej amulets checked by two of my ajarns, and both found that the phra somdej wat rakang sold to me was a fake... the rest were legit, but be weary if you are not 100% sure on what's real and what is not.

In this small market or small street located in the center of Phuket town, you can find all kinds of amulets blessed by Buddhist monks. When you cross this market you can feel the magic and how important these amulets are in Thai culture. Some are expensive and others are not, depending on your age and whether or not you are blessed by some important monk. I recommend visiting this street and enjoying the culture of this country. Enjoy Phuket!...
