Prad Jiab sacred bracelets come from an ancient Thai tradition, originally worn by Muay Thai warriors. They were once made from woven fabrics from the blessed clothing of family members or a revered monk, to invoke their protection and strength during combat. Even today, these bracelets remain powerfully symbolic and used in numerous ceremonies.
These hand-woven designs, made from high-quality ropes in traditional colors (brown and gold, or saffron orange), are carefully crafted by a retired Thai boxer who sells his products on my street in Bangkok. Some of these Prad Jiab bracelets feature a central Sudarshan Chakra medal (see orange model), blessed and tied according to strict rites.
These Prad Jiab are not simple decorative accessories: they are real objects of spiritual protection , blessed in temples or worn during rituals.
