It exists in Thailand (and other Southeast Asian countries, like Cambodia and Laos) protective magic belts made up of braided colored threads and various amulets. In Thai we call this type of belt Fae Phuk Kaen. * There are also medicinal belts made most often of medicinal woods, and also "amulet belts", simply made of a braided cord on which one adds the amulets of one's choice, thus composing a combination intended for a very specific use. (e.g. a special belt for the charm). * These magic belts are all worn under clothing, invisibly.
