Which are the best Thai amulets for love, job, and career?

The quote from DN 2 below shows practices which are considered wrong livelihood for monks and contemplatives.

While the making of amulets and talismans is not listed explicitly, "casting spells for good or bad luck" is listed, which is close enough.

Furthermore, such luck amulets go along with practices like astrology, palmistry, geomancy, omen-reading, dream-interpretation, protection spells or charms and so on, which are all considered wrong livelihood for monks and contemplatives.

On the other hand, the practice of loving kindness (metta) might give you the Buddhist version of good luck with these 11 benefits:

"One sleeps easily, wakes easily, dreams no evil dreams. One is dear to human beings, dear to non-human beings. The devas protect one. Neither fire, poison, nor weapons can touch one. One's mind gains concentration quickly. One's complexion is bright. One dies unconfused and — if penetrating no higher — is headed for the Brahma worlds.
AN 11.16

Here is Buddha's take on what the translator pinned as 'protective charms & ceremonies'

"Endowed with these five qualities, a lay follower is an outcaste of a lay follower, a stain of a lay follower, a dregs of a lay follower. Which five? He/she does not have conviction [in the Buddha's Awakening]; is unvirtuous; is eager for protective charms & ceremonies; trusts protective charms & ceremonies, not kamma; and searches for recipients of his/her offerings outside [of the Sangha], and gives offerings there first. Endowed with these five qualities, a lay follower is an outcaste of a lay follower, a stain of a lay follower, a dregs of a lay follower.

"Endowed with these five qualities, a lay follower is a jewel of a lay follower, a lotus of a lay follower, a fine flower of a lay follower. Which five? He/she has conviction; is virtuous; is not eager for protective charms & ceremonies; trusts kamma, not protective charms & ceremonies; does not search for recipients of his/her offerings outside [of the Sangha], and gives offerings here first. Endowed with these five qualities, a lay follower is a jewel of a lay follower, a lotus of a lay follower, a fine flower of a lay follower."
AN 5.175

Experts believe as recent as 500 years ago around south east Asia region), texts were generated about a story of King Kosala asking Buddha about anisong (good karma) for creating Buddha's image. Some Thai Buddhist temples create amulets ever since.

If you still want to have one, just don't spend tons of money on it. Amulets are collectible just like baseball cards. There are tons of forgery. You may go to Thai buddhist temple near you and ask a monk for one. Or if you live in the US, you can try writing Metta Forest Monastery in CA,and ask for one if they still have any. wat metta

PS. there is no way of measuring "mystical" power of an amulet, so pick one that appeals to you. This sutta might help you further causes in love and career. Buddha gave this lecture to the Direction Worshipers...
