Every price below includes the frame. There is nothing to ask for and nothing hidden — this is the whole list.
Set patterns — 10 and 20 cm
These two follow a fixed pattern. What changes from owner to owner is the birth date written into the cloth and the colours Ajarn Phairoj judges to suit that chart.
| Piece | Size | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Opening the chart | 10 × 10 cm | 3,000 THB |
| Supporting the chart | 20 × 20 cm | 6,000 THB |
Written from your own chart — 30 cm and up
From here on, Ajarn Phairoj writes directly from the owner’s date of birth. The larger the cloth, the more layers of letters it holds, and the more things it can be asked to carry.
| Size | Price | Themes it can carry | Framed size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 × 30 cm | 10,000 THB | 3–4 | 37 × 37 cm |
| 40 × 40 cm | 20,000 THB | 5–6 | 47 × 47 cm |
| 50 × 50 cm | 40,000 THB | all of them | 57 × 57 cm |
| 50 × 50 cm (with a deva) | 50,000 THB | all of them | 57 × 57 cm |
40 × 40 cm has one price. You choose whether it carries a deva or not; the price is the same either way. From 50 × 50 cm up, the version with a deva costs more, because it is more writing.
50 × 50 cm is the size Ajarn Phairoj recommends. It is the smallest cloth that holds all nine layers of letters and every principal verse, without moving up into the family sizes.
For a household or a company
These differ from the personal pieces in one way: more than one birth chart can go into the cloth, or the date a company was registered.
| Piece | Charts it holds | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon 789 — 78.9 × 78.9 cm | 1–5 people | 70,000 THB |
| Dragon 789 — 78.9 × 78.9 cm (with a deva) | 1–5 people | 100,000 THB |
| 88 × 88 cm | up to 8, or a company date | 120,000 THB |
| 88 × 88 cm (with a deva) | up to 8, or a company date | 160,000 THB |
| 100 × 100 cm | up to 10, or a company date | 200,000 THB |
| 100 × 100 cm (with a deva) | up to 10, or a company date | 300,000 THB |
| 100 × 100 cm (with two devas) | up to 10, or a company date | 350,000 THB |
The 789 is a special size. The 78.9 cm is measured with the frame on, so that what actually hangs on the wall lands exactly on the number.
The numbers themselves are not arbitrary. 78.9 is the dragon number, the number of silver and gold. 88 stands for abundance without end. 100 stands for completeness — a full hundred.
What a deva is
Some pieces carry the heart of a deva written into the centre. There are nine to choose from; you may pick one, or let Ajarn Phairoj choose from your chart.
In Thai practice one does not petition the Buddha. His teaching is about what a person does, not about asking. A deva belongs to a realm still connected to this one, and so can receive a request and pass help along. The verses around the outside of the cloth remain Buddhist verses; the deva sits beneath them, not in place of them.
Two devas are only possible at 100 × 100 cm. On anything smaller there is not enough cloth for the second one.
What we need from you
- Your full name
- Your date of birth — for a household or company piece, everyone who is going in, or the registration date
- What you are hoping for, in ordinary words. You do not need to know the name of any pattern.
Two more are optional but help: where it will hang (a home, an office, a shop front — it affects the size we suggest) and the house or premises number, which only the 789 can work with.
Payment, time and shipping
Payment is in full before the writing starts. There is no deposit option. We know how that reads from the other side of the world, which is why every piece is filmed as it is written and carries a numbered certificate.
About 30 days from the day the design is agreed. We confirm a date before starting.
| Collect at the shop | free |
|---|---|
| Within Thailand | 200 THB |
| International | roughly 1,000 – 10,000 THB by size and destination |
The spread is wide because a large yantra travels in a wooden crate and is insured. Tell us the size you are considering and the country, and we will price it properly before you decide. Import duty at your end, where it applies, is the recipient’s.
