LP Pu Somdej Prices

Only 2 years, more than 40% of upside. What kind of investment better than amulets collection ??

Saw nice somdej Saeyid Kan hark Sok by LP Pu. The last i asked, it was 180k THB. Pretty good condition. Now, above average condition with cert all above 230k THB. So, buying and collecting amulet is better than buying share i think. Agree? Haha!

But still one must understand the mechanic of amulets world. Which amulet will have upside short term and which are increasing gradually for long term gain and which is just market hype. Not all will have that kind of upside. Some are the same price for the last 5 years. No change.

Prices determination:
- Popularity
- Demand
- Rarity
- Market
- Big players that collect it

Majority of the factors that decide price upside are the above. Sad to say not so much due to effectiveness of the amulets as many of the blessed amulets coupled with one good doing, and positive aura, will have good effect ultimately.

My 2 cents worth!

Luang Pu Poo (LP Poo) of Wat Inn - Disciple of Somdej Puttajarn Toh (Wat Rakhang)

 

 

Biography:
LP POO was born in B.E. 2373 at Tak Province. At the age of 6, he was ordained as novice ar Ta Koy Temple. Later on, he moved on to Wat inn (formerly known as Wat Bang khum prom)

He studied meditation and incantation under Somdej Putarjarn Toh of Wat rakhang. He was considered one of the most popular and favourite students of Somdej Toh. On several occasions, they went on tudong and pilgrimage to various places.

In the village, there was a story  with many eye witness of villagers that LP Pu went into a pond to take a bath due to the hot temperature. At that moment, villagers shouted at him as the pond was known with a big and fierce crocodile. The crocodile killed many people before. LP Pu ignored their warning, and went straight on. True enough, the crocodile came and instead of hurting Lp Pu, it used its jaw to rub against his body 3 times on each sides and swam away peacefully. LP Pu was chanting incantation. Villagers were shocked to witness this and from then on looked for LP Pu when they had any problem.

Why LP Pu was famous among seasoned collectors?
1. LP Pu was the most favourite student of Somdej Toh and had learned incantation directly from the master
2. Very strong psychic power and charisma, respected by many devotees.
3. His amulets contained mixture of all 5 types of sacred powder obtained from Somdej Toh (Wat Rakhang)
4. His amulets are well known for ncreasing charm, loving kindness, escaping from dangers and  prosperity.

Various Forms of amulets by LP Pu:
1. Sae Yit Khen Hark Sok (Bend Arm pim - Most popular and expensive pim)
2. Sae Yit Khen Klom (Round arms pim)
3. 8 chan khen hark sok, 8 chan khen klom
4. 7 chan mee hoo (7 bases with long ear)
5. Sam lian phra pidta (Triangle pidta)
6. Pentagonal samadith pim, sangkacai pim etc

 

 

LP Pu, Wat Inn, Somdej Nur Phong, Pim Taan Koo Khen Klom - 1st placing samakorm

 

Sharing my third piece of LP Pu, Wat Inn, Somdej Nur Phong.

There are 4 pim of Taan Koo pattern (i.e. Khen Keap, Khen Kwang, Khen Hak Sork, Khen Klom). Most popular is pim Taan Koo Khen keap (narrow arm) and in term of rare ness, it is pim khen klom (round arm).

The most popular pim for taan koo cost >100,000 thb.

The one shown above is Pim Taan koo khen klom. Round arm pim already considered rare according to the lp Pu Red book. Furthermore, the somdej i have, has special mystical symbol behind. According to the book, one in thousands of lp pu somdej has symbols behind the phra. So, this piece shown is double rareness.

I am fortunate enough to meet Mr. Sama Klong Sam, the judge for nur phong niyom and banjapakee. He personally verified this piece for me in Saraburi Samakorm competition.

Biography:
LP Pu is one of the only 2 disciples of Somdej Puttajarn Toh. Real and recorded in book of Wat Rakhang. Others like Ajarn Pa, LP Nak, LP Hin are all not disciples of Somdej Toh and has not learn from Somdej Toh before. He was the chief abbot of Wat Inn or Wat Bang kum prom during. Years ago, they were the same.

The other one is Somdej Pilant who took over Somdej Putarjarn Toh as abbot of Wat Rakhang after Somdej Toh passed away. Both are still very much affordable as compared to Somdej made by Putarjarn Toh, Wat Rakhang.

In terms of material, huge amount of Somdej Toh powder were mixed to made this somdej. Hence, the material looks very much alike. Furthermore, this somdej is already close to 100 years ago. Thus, the texture, dryness etc looks alike. On the other hand, they are direct disciple of Somdej Toh.

Thus, the closest replacement of Somdej Toh amulet are undeniably those phra made by either LP Pu or Pilant.

LP Pu was born in 2372 and passed away in 2476. He was 104 years old and had been a monk for 84 years. A very well respected monk during the olden days as he was from royal family of Thai Prime Minister equivalent back then.
