Small Bronze Buddha Images

[BonnieandClyde]

Does anyone know where in or around Chiang Mai there is a good selection of small Buddha images for sale?

Bronze with an antique patina is what we are looking for. About 3" to 6" high.

Thanks for any information.

I'd check Thippanet Market first.

It's where Thippanet Cinema used to be, near the Thippanet Rd / Wualai Rd fork.

For all your voodoo, Black Magic & Buddhism needs. :-)

Thank you for the tip.

We went to Thippanet this morning and found what is probably the best amulet market in Chiang Mai.

Not only Buddha amulets but craftsmen who will mount them in everything from gold to plastic.

And as you mention, black magic paraphernalia of all kinds. A fascinating variety, including Ju-Ju's of all sizes.

But the selection of bronze Buddhas wasn't that great, so we went on to Talat Wororot and found just what we wanted in a shop on the ground floor in front of the defunct escalator.

Thanks again.

You will find another one at Kamtien market on Wednesdays near to the side entrance of Tescos superhighway.

Hope you're not exporting these as they now require permission from the arts and antiquities department - very lengthy process.

Saw some very good quality ones the other day being made at one of the silver outlets on San Kampeang road, 40 Baht for a small brass one, not cheap but great quality. PM me if interested
