Amulets

Many Thais wear amulets for protection against disaster, and the rarer the amulet or the more of them, the better.

History of origin

The Thai Phra Sangkachai may have originated from early Theravada Buddhist traditions of 
the Mon culture in Burma, probably as a wealth-bestowing deity. He is sometimes confused with
the Chinese Laughing Buddha, or Budai, who is an incarnation of the future Buddha Maitreya. However, Sangkachai is believed to have been an Arhat (one who attains Enlightenment) who was reverred for his ability to explain the dhamma teachings in a clear manner. He was the author of 
the first Pali Grammar, the Madhupinadikar Sutta. Popular stories tell of how he was extremely handsome and attracted unwanted advances of women as well as men. Angels also mistakenly worshipped him as the Buddha. In order to avoid such inappropriate attention, he allowed himself
to become extremely overweight and unattractive.

Belief/Faith

Phra Sangkachai is the god of happiness, prosperity, and wealth with a chubby body and smiling face. Widely believed those who worship Phra Sangkachai will grant success in business 
with wealth and perfect health. Usually, Phra Sangkachai will be placed in the house to make 
life successful.
