# ThaiAmuletExchange

> A reference to Thai Buddhist amulets (phra khrueang) and Thai occult objects, with a price index in which every price links to the public listing or auction result it was taken from. Languages: English (default URLs), Chinese (/zh/), Thai (/th/), Vietnamese (/vi/), Malay (/ms/).

The site describes objects — what a piece is, who made it, when, from what material, and how collectors identify it. It does not claim that any object brings protection, luck, wealth or love, does not appraise or authenticate individual pieces, and does not sell anything.

## Price index
- [Series catalogue](https://thaiamuletexchange.com/series): amulet series with observed market prices (median, middle-50% range, lowest/highest, asking vs sold).
- [How prices are checked](https://thaiamuletexchange.com/data-quality): per-source counts of prices collected and shown, and the rules that exclude duplicates, placeholders, unreadable and out-of-range prices.
- Each price shows its source, capture date, original currency and a link to the listing. Non-baht prices are converted at the European Central Bank reference rate for the capture date.
- Prices are observations of public listings, not valuations; a listed price says nothing about whether a piece is genuine.

## Reference articles
Encyclopedia entries are published for search only after every claim has been traced to an independent source (scripture on SuttaCentral, Thai press, academic journals, museum records). Each article lists its sources.

## Disclosure
ThaiAmuletExchange and the shop Shogun X Amulets (shogunxamulets.com) are run by the same group. Articles may link to it with that disclosure. Shogun X prices are not included in the price index.
