As a famous garden designer, I can reveal that the items you have illustrated are nothing more or less than aids to planting bulbs in the garden. You just shove them in, create a hole, sit back and wait for things to bloom. Lots of pretty things will appear in your borders, all wearing their summer colours; their brightest hues. Then, when the time is right, and you feel the need, just pick them up and take them indoors to be enjoyed at leisure. They’ll probably emit a nice perfume too. I am sure that there’s nothing like a little Thai flower to help pass an evening.

Are they suffering from an epidemic of coriza? Otherwise there would be no need to wrap up so warmly.

An indepth study made by Professor Doctor Sombot Boonchai, and associates, of the University of Pitansaluk a number of years ago determined that these objects are in fact the shrunken and stumpy appendages of an ancient Thai civilisation called the Falas Gung. This race of giant people who migrated from China sometime in the first century died without trace.

Prof Dr Sombot postulated that as these appendages were unicorn-like over growths of bones, formed from centuries of nose picking, they Falas Gung were incapable to getting close enough to each other to mate.

Resulting in a catastrophic population decline over just one generation.

Ever since then the Culture Ministry has proclaimed nose picking to be counter to Thai culture and although there have been many attempts to stamp out the behaviour it persists to this day.

Luckily modern Thais suffer from a colapse of the floor of the cranium rather than an over growth of bone.

“SIZE DOESN’T MATTER.POWER DOES”. Name: Palat Khik. “Lucky phallus” can be found in many location in Thailand, around the waist as well. To vendors, the item brings success in bisness; to those who seek love the charm attract people …etc!!! it is much more than a X-dick…. I’ve few objects (19th-early20th century) like these bought from a Thai-Collector… if you want to buy, drop me a line celadonnew@yahoo.com

That one is made of a soft material. It won’t happen to the hard ones.

The syphilitic top is of more concern than the crack.

Hmm…some of these objects appear to have been made more fortunate than others. Though you’ve got to feel for the one with the huge crack right down the middle…
