A Thai man, who has an extreme fear of ghosts, wears about 1,000 amulets daily.

The amulets weigh about 30kg and is worth between 10 Bath ($0.40) and 200,000 Bath (S$8,340).

The 40-year-old supervisor of an electronic appliances company in Chiangmai said: "I have been very afraid of ghosts since I was young and have always dreamt that I'm possessed by spirits.

"I started wearing a few amulets 20 years ago and now, I have almost 1,000.

Although he is not so frightened of ghosts anymore, the man said he is now more worried about being robbed.
