Nope.
I've some Thai. amulets, which either family or friends bought it as souvenirs. In my area, there's a big Thai. Temple.
(Ref. http://www.buddhistchannel.tv/index.php?id=18,3897,0,0,1,0)
It's a nice place to visit, it's even bigger now after it's renovations :D
Many Chinese near it as well. Besides I know many Chinese also worship Thai Buddha Statue. They all see it as one, Buddha instead of different kinds of Buddha.
But some ppl. (not only Chinese) do not like to place thai. amulets as it bring different meaning & can change feng shui of the place/person.
Diff. character & symbols hv. diff. meanings; thus it's better not to keep thn to hv. fear of misunderstanding it.

No I don't think get uneasy looking at them. Some may be afraid thanks to the ample Thai horror movies hitting our cinemas, and these movies depict Thai wizards/witches as people wearing plenty of Buddha lookalike amulets and tattoos. Try watching Long Khong and you will see what I mean. This is more black magic than Buddhism - the Buddha's teachings never encouraged the worship of any deities (also called 'devas'). Hence, any worship of deities (amulets) is a cultural thing.

I think you have to correct your question.
No one will scare about Buddha Statue & amulets, we only show respect.
Most of those Statue available for sell in Thai are the statue of famous MONK NOT Buddha.
Only those who do evil thing will feel uneasy.
A lot of people like to own those statue & amulet cause they feel that those thing can protect them from being harm by evil spirit.

They seems to have unusual power, that's what I heard from the others, that makes us fear. But I respect every God. I myself a Buddhist.
