Achim Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I heard that it is not allowed to bring images of Buddha out of the country. Is this true, and does this also apply to images of monks, for example a necklace with an image of a praying monk (not Buddha)? If someone in your family or even a monk gives you one as a present for spiritual protection, can you take that home out of Thailand? Thanks in advance for all advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in2fridge Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 as far as I know ,small personal items are ok - my wife always travels wearing her buddha amulet for example - What is not ok is exporting large images ,not long ago photos appeared of a house (I think in Sweden) which had imported large statues of Buddha,cut the heads off to use to decorate a garden wall,that is a no no....also crass,apalling bad taste and very very disrespectful........
