Question

I went to Thailand and got a string around my wrist from a monk, its all discolored now, when should i dispose of it?

Answer 1

If you are not buddish..then you don't need it. IT's a believes for luck.

So if it irritated you just cut it off:)

Answer 2

anytime you want to! there is no magic in it.  

Answer 3

Cut it off and throw it away.  I believe from what Thais have told me your suppose to discard it after three or four days.  But again you can wear it as long as you like.

Answer 4

Well I'm Cambodian so i had 1 of those string that give me good luck and make me healthy and yes there is magic in it.I wore it for 1 year.Um... u need more info, how long have u got it?And to me i will take it off, but i would keep it somewhere cause u cant get those everyday mostly u can get it 3 or less time in your life.Some people don't even get any at all. U maybe took a shower in it that's all.

Answer 5

Three days

Answer 6

I've heard three days myself, also if you really believe in the power of the string don't cut the string with a sharp object, untie it to release the spirits that protect you, if you cut it you sever and destroy the spirit, not a good omen. You can wear it as long as you want though, I know someone here who has worn his string for years and he's still a jerk.
