Amulet Trader Boy Denies Request to Build Sacred Objects at Specific Temple
Popular amulet trader Boy Tha Phrajan clarified on Facebook that he never requested to create sacred objects at any specific temple, denying claims that emerged after social media users shared vague comments he made during a live stream.
Arthawat Sirisittithongchai, known as Boy Tha Phrajan, posted a detailed clarification on Facebook stating: "Hello everyone, I want to clarify so we all understand correctly. First, I never mentioned the name of any temple or abbot at all, so please do not make connections or interpret beyond what I actually said, and do not put words in my mouth. Second, I have never asked to create sacred objects at the temple being discussed. Third, please do not rush to blame or insinuate about me, because what I said may not have been directed at anyone in particular from the start. If I intended to mention someone, I can say so myself, so there is no need to rush and link yourself to something I never mentioned. Do not bring up other people's drama and connect it to me. If something does not mention my name, please consider only the facts and do not add my name." The situation arose after social media users shared a clip from his live stream in which he discussed amulets and made vague references to a temple, saying he was once asked to create sacred objects there but declined, and that he believed the temple warranted investigation due to alleged irregularities. He stated he did not name the temple because he did not want conflict with those involved in the business, noting the temple had grown quiet and lost followers over time. Boy Tha Phrajan later reaffirmed on his page: "I confirm on my honor and dignity that I have never asked to build sacred objects at the temple being discussed, even once. Do not suggest that 'the temple refused, so I spoke out,' because that is not true. Most importantly, I have never mentioned any temple or abbot by name. I am surprised why some people rushed to jump to conclusions."
