Police seized 29 famous amulets including ‘Luang Por Chaem’. He was taken to the Cherng Talay Police Station where he was charged with theft.

 

(An amulet is an object that is typically worn, that some people believe has magical or miraculous powers to protect its holder or bring them good fortune.)

they've named him so why not show his face

The collection of amulets did not protect him.

I often notice in Thai news photos that many police officers often wear plain clothes. It is easy for me to spot the police in uniforms, but the others, not so much. I wonder what percentage of the Thai police force is commonly out of uniform?

he didn't steal the get-out-of-jail-amulet
