LP Thuat 2524 Wat Changhai Pim kamakarn (Niyom) Nur Wahn - 2x Champion





This piece is rare to find. Many in the market currently is either fake or remake batches. And as recorded, only 2000 were made back then. After 31 years, many are lost or broken. How many left at good condition then?

According to temple record, pim kamakarn produced 2000 pieces, the rest pim yai, pim klang, pim phra rod combined 200-300k produced with pim phra rod produced less like 20-30k. Within pim kamakarn, there are big face and small face. Big face is niyom and produced less. Price is also 10-15% higher than small face.

To find a real McCoy 2524 LP thuat Kamakarn is no easy task. and its price has gone up till surpassed some 2509, 2511 rein made by LP Tim himslf.

Many are kept tightly in the safe and the dealer or collectors do not even want to show people.

Above is one piece with near perfect condition and naturally grown "substance" on the surface of the wahn. Comes with original temple box. Big face, niyom pim. Rarr than normal kamakarn pim.

Enjoy!

LP Thuat Wat Prasat 2506 Nur Gao (old powder)/khao (white)















Many friends know me as a fan of prasat amulet..i have sangkacai, somdej pra kru moon style, somdej toh image, lp suk image, kring etc..but lp thuat nur gao (khao) this is the first time due to its price. have been checking around since 2 years back when the price is 1k+. Thought too expensive as compared to other wat prasat amulets. Then last year, it was 2k+. Price has increased a lot for this particular piece.

Then recently, came across this piece from the hand of Wat Prasat and 2497 LP thuat kamakan, and decided to take this back home with a big hole in my pocket :)

---update----
Submitted this piece in Lopburi competition last week on 18 Nov organized by Samakorm, and got 1st placing...:)

Why do i like this?

1. Wat Prasat 2506 batch has gone through super duper grand consecration with all the famous monk / lp of that era including LP Tim of wat changhai, LP Tae of Wat Sam ngan, LP Nak of Wat Rakhang etc.

2. All the good ingredients are mixed in this batch include 2497 lpt, WPN powder donated by LP Sodh, old somdej Toh WRK powder etc...too many to list down. Refer to old post of mine describing Wat Prasart. And for this piece, as recorded, it is almost 100% old Bang khom phom powder. One of the most expensive pim and material among all Wat prasat LP thuat.

3. This piece is one of the rare find. Nur Gao (old), khao = white. It is yellowish tinted with green patches. Thai called this "Doo ngai" for this material and condition..

4. Combining power of LPT and somdej power, we get the best of both world. now lp thuat made by AC Tim and somdej BKP easily cost SGD 5 figure digit. For this piece, it is fraction of that price.

Enjoy!
