LP Tim Somdej Yant Har 2517/18 - 1st placing, 2nd and 3rd Placing Certs

My second piece of Somdej Yant Har in excellent champion condition. It won 3x in different competitions including one organized by Samakorm.

This piece need no introduction as I have shared few days ago the piece that I have been wearing all along.

Made by LP Tim of Wat lahanrai, Rayong province. It was released together with the much acclaimed Khum phen plai kuman (KPPK). and in fact this somdej was mixed with Phong plai kuman as well together with the sacred buddhakom powder made by Pu Tim himself. That explained why somdej Yant har and Yant sam 2517/18 is much more expensive than other earlier batch somdej by LP Tim as well. Thus I always advise people to try out somdej yant har/yant sam or loob om before investing in an expensive KPPK. A pim lek, white powder KPPK block 2 costs 120k thb easily now.

I have a fellow collector friend that practises Tibetan Buddhism and meditation for years and he told me that LP Tim amulets is very very powerful. He can feel it when he holds the amulet in his hand. It is second to LP Tim (Wat Changhai) 2505 Taulit. And this collector friend of mine has a vast collection of Somdej/amulets from LP Doem, LP Suk, LP Daeng, LP Nak and of course Pu Tim as well.

Enjoy!

Somdej LP Daeng 2513 -red

A gift from my Thai.. friend. Somdej by LP Daeng, Wat Khao ban dai-it. Red colour is what I have posted. There is also a yellow color one given. So nice of him though this is the normal pim:)
 
LP daeng is a top monk in 250x. Refer to his biodata for details. And I did wrote about this somdej before. Year: 2513.
 
It was chanted for few years before launch n somdej was transferred to a few temples/masters (including chao kun nor) before finally consecrated at wat khao ban dai-it. Thus this batch is so highly sought after. N material used to make this batch of somdej is also top notch.
 
Somdej of LP Daeng, Wat Khao Bandai-it, Petchburi Province,B.E.2513/2514. Materials comprised:

1. Ground broken amulets of Somedej Wat Rakang, Somdej BangKhunPhrom. Wat Sampluen Amulets, Wat Indraviharn, Wat Ngern Klongtoey, LP Prink amulets
2. Holy soil from 4 important Buddhistic places in India,
3. The great 5 holy powder of Itthaje Powder, Maharaj Powder, Tri Nisinghae powder, Padhamang Powder, Budhakhun Powder
4. Bronze dust of casting Buddha from many important temples: Wat Palaelai Suphanburi, Wat Dhevasangkharam Kanchanaburi, Wat Bovornniwej Bangkok, Wat Makutkasart, Wat Phra Singh Chiang Mai, Wat Bodhi. Wat Rajbopit, etc
5. Holy soil from 9 good name areas : Chai Nat, Chaiyaphum, Chaibadal, Phichai, Denchai, Mahachai, Chaiya, Nakonchaisri, Hariphuchai. ( Chai = Victory)
6. Holy water & holy candle wax from 109 temples
 
It is widely believed that no wearer will encounter any accident as long as he/she is wearing this somdej.
 
No wonder nick name of LP Daeng as bullet proof monk is so popular among devotees then..:)
 
Btw, daeng means red in Thai. So red colour is the color of LP Daeng. ;)

Lp Tim somdej Yant Sam-4th Placing

Sharing this piece of somdej yant sam by LP Tim, wat lahanrai.

Somdej by lp tim is a good replacement to the expensive khum phen as it is mixed with phong plai kuman as well. I wore it for few years now n I can vouch for its efficacy. Everything is so smooth n it is by far the best period of my career advancement when I wear it.

Brought it for competition last sun (9/8). 4th Placing. Major competition.

Lp Tim somdej yant har, 4th placing

Rushing to share this nice piece of lp tim somdej yant har, wat lahanrai. 4th placing in last sunday competition. 9/8. Major competition. Heehee.freah from oven...
After a long wait, finally have chance to send this for verification n competition.
Got dealer offer straight after result revealed. I thought lp tim amulets craze is over? it seems still very hot now..
I got this 4 years ago n price is at least 4x of price 4 years ago..ha..

Lp thuat, wat prasat, 2506, pim tor-3rd placing

Last piece of lp thuat prasat 2506 I had. 

This is pim tor n if u observe carefully, the material is very much like the 2497 wat chang hai lp thuat. Especially the black colour portion.

Look at the fore head. The material composition is just like another 2497.
Was attracted by the material n rented out some time ago. Furthermore, pim tor is not as common as the usual pim yai black lp thuat from same batch. Even this batch, prices has gone up to more than10000 thb

Lp thuat wat prasart 2506 nur lang meng-1st, 3rd, 4th Placing

Sharing a piece of wat prasart lp thuat nur lang meng that is very rare nowadays. It is brownich in colour n not to confuse with nur khao (white grayish, or white yellowish). The powder is dry with sediment of pidnathang.

This piece is second to nur khao in terms of pricing (assuming similar condition) n equally rare to find. If its condition is better, it might fetch the same price as my nur khao..

For those that know me, I have a soft spot for wat prasart 2506  amulets due to the scale of consecration it had, material used in this batch n masters attended the ceremony..top of the era..

Spent a long time to find one n this piece has 1st placing cert in recent competition. 3rd n 4th placing certs last year. Total 3 certs.

With this, I have almost full range of prasart lp thuat. Haha..

Enjoy!

LP Sri Phra Phrom Ngern (Sor Sae Wee) Pim Na Yai 2524





Sharing a piece of highly sought after Phra Phrom Sor Sae Wee from LP Sri of Wat Saket.

LP Sri is the top student of Ajarn Heng that are famous for making the most expensive phra phrom rein in Thailand. His Phra Phrom Rein is ranked top ten rein most of the time costing 400,000-700,000 THB. And 80% of Ajarn Heng Phrom was jarned by LP Sri if you compare the jarn behind the phra.

LP Sri learned the sacred art of making phra phrom since young with Ajarn Heng and had acquired the skill long. He was entrusted by Ajarn Heng to hand write jarn together with him during amulet casting and eventually he made his own phra phrom using the same method his master use.

Many different pim was made. but the most famous one apart from the egg shape phrom 2512, are the Sor Sae Wee Big face or Small face. What I have shared is Phrom Sor Sae Wee pim na yai (Big face mold) 2524 with original skin and condition. Jarn is unique and hand written by LP Sri himself. It looks very different from LP Doo Phrom. Qty made is only 400 for big face. And for small face, 2-300. Limited supply causes LP Sri Phrom to increase in price for the past 5 years.

Phra Phrom is very good for wisdom enhancement, protection and intuition for decision making. And plenty of good feedback from collectors of phra phrom of efficacy of those made by LP Sri and it is definitely a good replacement of Ajarn Heng's one if one can't afford the heft price tag of the top phrom made by Him

Enjoy!

LP Thuat, AC Nong, Wat Sai kao, Pim Yai, Nur wahn with Silver Takrut, 2534


Another piece of 2534 from AC Nong, Wat Sai kao. This is Pim Yai, Nur Wahn with Silver takrut.

The more I dug, the more I found. Had  been checking out old collections from my dad. Apparently he collected many AC Nong from 2530-2541..Mostly still in original temple box.

Enjoy!

AC Nong Wat Sai kao, Pim Phra Rod, 2534




AC Nong (Wat Sai kao), needs no introduction. He is considered one of the pioneers of LP thuat making beside Ajarn Tim of Wat Changhai. They are close peer and attended many consecration ceremony together including the 2500 (grand consecration), 2506 (grand ceremony at wat prasart) and etc.

Today, a nice good piece of 2514 early batch of lp thuat made by Ajarn Nong will cost at least 65,000 THB. That is provided you can find a genuine piece. I helped a friend submitted his piece recently only to find that it was a high-end fake. And he bought it at S$950.

What I have shared is a piece of nice condition pim phra rod lp thuat Nur Wahn, made by AC Nong in 2534. Pim phra rod is not easily seen nowadays especially those made by AC Nong. More so in this condition...:)

Enjoy!

Ajarn Nong , LP thuat Phim A, Roon Sang Mondok (Silver takrut), Wat Sai Kao, Nur Wahn


Sharing another piece o Ajarn Nong, Wat Sai kao, lp thuat, Roon Sang Mondok. Phim A. Come with original temple box.

This piece comes with silver takrut whereas the earlier piece comes with gold takrut. Qty produced: 2540 pieces.

Enjoy!

Ajarn Nong , LP thuat Phim A, Roon Sang Mondok (Gold takrut), Wat Sai Kao, Nur Wahn


Sharing an original condition Ajarn Nong, LP thuat Phim A, Roon Sang Mondok, Wat Sai Khao, made around 2540/41. Qty: 779 pieces.

This piece comes with original temple box. got from Ajarn Nong long ago and put in cupboard till now. Amazingly, back of amulet grows patches of white powdery material originally not found.

Nice piece of Ajarn Nong lp thuat is pretty hard to come by and price is not cheap for his older batches.

And in my opinion, any Ajarn Nong LP Thuat, as long as made by him (<=2542) and comes with narai takrut, will appreciate in value in the long run. More so, if it is limited in qty.

LP Suk (Wat Makham Tao) Somdej Prakpahmonton, 2435 (With Samakorm Authentic Guarantee Cert)


It is always my dream to own one somdej made by LP Suk, Wat Makham Tao. And I finally got it late last year and got time to post it up for sharing. It is a real blessing to obtain a nice and authentic lp suk somdej in reasonable condition and reasonable cost.

LP Suk, needs no introduction to fellow collectors and amulets enthusiasts. He is one of the top ranking monks in the olden days era before 2500 together with LP Thuat, LP Ngern of Wat Bangklan, Somdej Toh of Wat Rakhang and etc.. I have written a very detailed biography of LP Suk in another post. You can obtain more info there. It is known that his somdej is very mythical. Owning one piece will free devotees from dangers, evil and all bad luck.

What I have shared here is a somdej called Prakpahmonton, nur takua (Lead). LP Suk has made two types of somdej pretty popular among the collectors. Somdej Prakpahmonton and Somdej Rasami. Any of these two is good to collect if budget allows. However, price has been climbing every year. A simple piece with even very worn out condition, will cost easily 60,000 to 70,000 THB.

For Somdej prakpahmonton, if it is made with copper, the market price will be at least 200,000 THB and above.

Enjoy!

Luang Phor Thuat 2506 Wat Pakoh Nur Wahn (4th Placing Cert)


Sharing a piece of Luang Phor Thuat issued by Wat Pakoh in 2506. This piece is Pim Yai big face, Nur Wahn and mixed with high amount of Wat changhai AC Tim 2497 Wahn.

In fact Ajarn Tim from Wat changhai came over for the consecration ceremony and offered to mix the 2497 wahn into this batch as recorded in the blue LP thuat blue book.

Now, a piece of 2497 LP thuat wahn, demands a high price. So, many collectors turn to this to learn the wahn and aging formation and also use it as a replacement of the 2497 lp thuat.

This piece shared is in very good condition and got a 4th placing in a major competition. unworn condition as good as new. And pim yai is the most expensive pim for this batch other than pim jew.

Enjoy!

Katha for LP Sri (Wat Sakae) Phra Phrom

Sharing a pretty rare Katha from LP Sri of Wat Sakae. LP Sri made 4 face Phra Phrom Stamp following his master foot step. His master , Ajarn Heng made the world most expensive Phra Prom rein costing anywhere between 300,000-700,000 THB. It is constantly ranked top ten rein in Thailand.

LP Sri learned the sacred way of making phra phrom from his master and that made his phra prom rein equally effective and powerful as commented by collectors and devotees alike.

As usual, any katha before you chant, clean your mouth, calm your mind and body, focus your mind to the rein and chant....
