in Thailand some people are turning to
an unusual way of generating a little
good luck dolls these American design
dolls look pretty lifelike and people
are dressing and treating them as if
they are everybody thinks their dolls
are alive and they love them like the
real machine the owners believe their
dolls bring good fortune especially if
they're decorated with gold leaves and
Buddhist symbols or if they're blessed
by monks it's a far cry from traditional
amulets which Thais have turned to in
times of need for centuries people spend
anywhere from forty four dollars for
cheaper dolls up to nearly $1,500 for
top-of-the-line models but for many
people it's not enough to just own one
of them to have any real impact some
people tried to instill their dolls with
positive karma by doing good deeds such
as offering prayers to make the dolls
even more powerful and receptive to good
luck some owners take them to temples to
be blessed with holy water while it may
seem odd to see adults carrying dolls
everywhere these grown-ups don't seem to
mind
sube love you that's all at the
beginning my friends asked me if I'm
okay
why I'm carrying a doll like this when I
feel embarrassed and I say not at all I
told them this is a sacred item and then
I asked for a job and I got it
you
