Hand-written yantra from Bangkok

A yantra is a sacred diagram. Ours are written by hand, line by line, by Ajarn Phairoj Ruenwicha in Bangkok — one piece at a time, for one person, from that person’s own date of birth. Nothing is printed. Nothing is copied.

What you are looking at

A yantra is written rather than drawn. Every line is a letter in Khom Thai, the old script used for Buddhist scripture in Thailand, and the order the letters go down in is fixed. Move one of them and the yantra no longer says what it was meant to say.

Each piece is made as an offering to the Buddha. The verses around the outer rings are Buddhist verses. What sits at the centre depends on what the owner came for.

Written for one person

From 30 cm upward, Ajarn Phairoj works from your name and your date of birth. You tell him, in ordinary words, what you are hoping for — trade, family, protection, people around you — and he chooses the pattern, the verses and the colours himself. No two pieces are alike, and the same piece cannot be made twice.

The two smaller sizes, 10 cm and 20 cm, follow a set pattern with your birth date written into it.

How you know it is his work

Three things come with every piece, and you can check all three yourself.

  • A video of your own piece being written, from the first line to the signature. Not a sample clip of somebody else’s work.
  • A certificate carrying a serial number. The same number appears on the certificate, on the back of the frame and in the video file.
  • Ajarn Phairoj’s signature in the lower left corner of the cloth, and the words Maha Yant Ruay in the lower right.

Sizes and prices

Prices run from 3,000 baht for 10 × 10 cm to 350,000 baht for 100 × 100 cm with two deva figures. Every price includes the frame. The whole list is published, so you do not have to write to us to find out what something costs. See all sizes and prices

Ordering from outside Thailand

Most owners abroad never come to the shop. The process does not change.

  1. Write to us and say what you are hoping for, with your full name and date of birth.
  2. Speak to Ajarn Phairoj on a video call. He speaks Thai; a member of our team interprets into English.
  3. Pay in full before work begins. There is no deposit option — and that is exactly why the video and the numbered certificate exist.
  4. Allow about 30 days from the day the design is agreed.
  5. We ship worldwide. Shipping runs roughly 1,000–10,000 baht depending on size and destination. Large pieces travel in a wooden crate.

What we will not tell you

We are sent a great many messages about money and good fortune. We do not publish them. A yantra written by Ajarn Phairoj is an object of devotion, not a wager, and we would rather you chose one for what it is.

What we do stand behind is the work itself: that it was written by his hand, for you, on the day we say it was. That part you can verify.
