Fortune Teller Files Complaint Over Human-Remains Amulet Scam

On October 19, 2026, a 37-year-old fortune teller, identified as Ms. Min, filed a formal complaint with the Crime Suppression Division in Bangkok. Accompanied by lawyer Ronnarong Kaewphet, she requested a thorough investigation into a network of amulet producers and distributors who allegedly claimed their products were crafted from human remains and consecrated by four occult masters.

Ms. Min reported that she had acted as an intermediary, purchasing these items and reselling them to believers. However, she subsequently faced fraud charges from her own customers, forcing her to pay 2.6 million baht in restitution. She is now seeking to hold the original suppliers and manufacturers accountable for the deception.

For residents and visitors, this case highlights the risks associated with the unregulated trade of occult items in Thailand. While the items are marketed as sacred, their origins and composition are often unverified. The lawyer involved has stated that the amulets will be submitted for scientific testing to determine if they truly contain human remains or if the claims were entirely fabricated. As of now, the investigation is ongoing, and authorities have yet to confirm the authenticity of the materials or the involvement of the named occult masters. The public is advised to exercise caution regarding high-value religious or occult artifacts.
