Bro.. i think it's hard to find cause there's alot of fakes. So even if you got the money (1st batch is very expensive) i don't think you can get it unless your fated with it.

Correct me if i'm wrong any bros

Err....any bro can help me with the upload of pic...seems to hv prob with insert image. Thank!

In Thai only dead people wear even number of amulets.. like 2 4 6 8.. they put in coffin when someone died. People normally wear odd numbers of amulets. 3 6 9 12

wow, nice to see so many thai amulets collectors in this forum. just to share some of my experience in amulet collecting.
Practically when i buy amulets i always ask about the following
1) maker of the amulet and name of temple
2) year of production
3) material used
4) katha for the amulet.
So for example, simple information on whether the amulet is produced by the LP in the 1st place or not was be known. if not go back home do research 1st then buy. A lot of thai amulets are made of materials like baked clay, sand, herb powder, ashes etc. So by knowing the year, you check it with the
colour (you dont expect a 10 year old amulet made of baked clay still look fresh white right??)
texture (old amulets made of above mentioned materials usually have a smooth and shiny surface due to age of the amulet)
dryness ( check the cracks and see if the cracks have branches to it. usually the old the amulet the more slim and fine branches of cracks to it due to the loss of moisture of the material)
sound ( old and dry amulets when you knock it on the a glass table got the "tick tick tick" sound also becos of the loss of moisture)
Those who are new or infamiliar to the collection of amulets, my suggestion si that you dont go for expensive stuffs made by the likes of LP Parn, LP Toh or any other famous guru monks that has passed away or any competition winning pieces.
Reason is simple
1) its expensive
2) how you know its efficacious?? dont forget competition pieces only judge on the design and authenticity of the amulet and not the efficaciousness of the amulet
3) For old amulets do you know the katha for it?? Different LP got different way of praising, asking for blessing and/or praying to the amulet.
Therefore if you really want those efficacious amulets which is for protection, wealth, metta etc, my suggestion to you is to get the lastest batch available produced by reputable LP who is still alive like LP Koon, LP Kasem etc. These amulets usually cost somewhere from S$50 to S$100. Its cheap, its authentic and its efficacious and usually less fakes around because no market value and that real ones are still in supply.
Similiarly, for those real serious collectors, if you are willing to pay S$1k++ to S$6.5K for a somdej, my suggestion is that you might as well go to the temple where the current LP specialising in the particular area you wish blessing for, ask him to make one for you through temple "donations" it will be more worth it. 1st its efficacious and authentic, 2nd its the one and only in the world made specially for you, 3rd if you wat to sell it, it will worth way more than those in the market just for the very reason in (1) especially if you have photo together with the LP.
For those people who want to go to bedok Palilai to get amulets for metta, especially for woman, i suggest that you dont go. Just to prove how often i frequent there, the monk's "put" is placed in the inner hall in the air conditioned room where he does his blessings. The amulets are placed inside a tin on the right hand side of where the monk sits and the monks go for their break or lunch at at about 12pm to 2pm. So no monks will be in the room to stop you from looking at his collection. However, as i say forget about going to temple to get amulets because those monks in the temple will tell you that every amulet is real. To them, the amulet is used to serve as a rememberance of the presence of buddha or whoever the amulet is. Most of these amulets are "returned" to the temple by people. i shall not comment whether its efficacious, but for sure these amulets wont help you to get better luck with girls, gambling or fighting.
Finally, to all those collectors just like, if your amulet isnt bringing you the desired effect, return it to the temple or give to someone else. The amulet maybe blessed by the LP with the highest mediating ability, but if your good karma isnt enough to unleash its ability its fated. So give it to someone else and let him get the blessing instead.
So sorry for the long post. Got too excited when talking about thai amulets. hope you guys dont mind

Hi bros,

Since today is 'chu yi' 1st lunar of the month. Went to Kancanarama to pray pray. Temple was renovating so a bit inconvenience. After praying, I saw their counter offering amulets for chaoing. I noticed one LP Thuat by Arjan Phoon for $80. But below that there is another LP Thuat also by Arjan Phoon but for only $28. Was wondering why the difference??? Can any bros verify?

Cheers
