Phra Somdej Thai amulets, King of all Thai amulets.



See the Phra Somdej Thai amulets
in our online shop.

Old phra somdej thai amulet.
Phra Somdej (Phra Somdet) amulets have been first made
by Most Venerable Somdej Phra Putthajarn (Ajarn Toe Prommarangsi)
that lived from 1788 to 1872
and was the Abbot of Wat Rakhang (Wat Rakhangkhositaram) in Bangkok.

This amulet is the "King of amulets", any Thai amulets collector has to have
at least one (but often many more), and if someone have only ONE amulet,
more often than not it will be a Phra Somdej.
Contrary to other types of amulets, the Phra Somdej does not have ONE "power"
but it has them all, so it can protect its wearer, make him lucky,
charming, rich & so on...

Phra somdej thai amulets collection.
There are many variations and type of Phra Somdej amulets,
here is a little selection from my personnal collection.

phra somdej wat rakhang
Original Phra Somdej amulets blessed by Somdej Phra Putthajarn Toh are the "Holy Grail"
of amulets collector, so you will often hear about them, but you will almost never see one.

Millions of fake "certified original Phra Somdej by LP Toh" are on the market
,
often offered alongside a (fake) certificate of authenticity.

A genuine Phra Somdej by Luang Phor Toh cost several millions of Euro,
so please use your brain and dont go buy one for a few hundreds Euro on Eb*y...

certified old phra somdej of wat rakhang
From time to time, the Wat Rakhang offer certified old Phra Somdej
(they can be a 100 years old or more), like this beautifull set where an old Phra Somdej
is offered with a Look Nimit sacred bead and a gold color portrait amulet
of Most Venerable Luang Phor Toh
.

phra somdej gaisser of wat arun

Rare Phra Somdej Gaïsser Roon Toon Ghow Tawai Lachit Nee (Pim Jumbo) amulet,
blessed in 1986 in Wat Arun (Bangkok) during a special ceremony where 99
of the most famous Masters of the time were together.

Amongst the Masters present this day were :


- Most Vénérable Luang Phor Pern.
- Most Vénérable Luang Phor Koon.
- Most Vénérable Luang Phor Kassem.
- Most Vénérable Luang Phor Pae.

- Most Vénérable Luang Phor Luang.
- Vénérable Luang Phor Pan.
- Most Vénérable Luang Phor Budh
.
- Most Vénérable Luang Phor Mee.
- Most Vénérable Luang Phor Jarun.
- Most Vénérable Luang Phor Puth.
- Most Vénérable Luang Phor Uthama.
- Most Vénérable Luang Phor Waen.
- Master Phaya Sami (From Burma)

Many amongst those Masters were considered as Arahant,
and were known to have mystical powers.

thai amulet ingredients
Amongst the sacred ingredients used to make this amulet, one can find :

- Soil from the place where the Buddha was born (Lumbini, Nepal)

- Soil from the place where the Buddha got enlightment ( Bodh Gaya, India) .

- Leaves from the tree under wich the Buddha meditated.

- Soil from the place where the Buddha passed away (Kushinagar).

- Powder of ancient amulets Phra Somdej of LP Toh and Phra Somdej Keishayo.

- Powder from antique tiles from Wat Indrawiharn.

-
Powder of amulets of Wat Paknam (batch 1, 4 and 6).

- Relics of various Buddha disciples (Ananda, Mogdalyana, Rahual and others).

- Moss collected on various famous Chedi countaining relics of the Buddha.

- Several hundred sacred powders offered by over 100 different temples.

- A secret mix of 108 sacred plants and flowers.

- Some Cintramani sacred beads (wish fullfiling jewel).

- Some bits of an antique Buddha statue old of 1500 years.

- A Sacred powder offered by a Lersi hermit.

- Powder of an antique slate covered with Yant.

- And several 100 other sacred ingredients offered by various Venerables.

The collecting of those ingredients and relics took over 25 years.
(there was in total over 200 different sacred ingredients),
and the consecration ceremonies were performed over a 3 years period.

Since it was issued in 1986, many miraculous story speak about this amulet
and it is one of the more thought after amulet in modern times.

The "official" batch of this amulet exist in two sizes (Namely Pim Tamada & Pim Jumbo)
and both have at the back a little gold color medal with a map of Thailand.

But there exist also some "un-official" batches, made later by the monks of Wat Arun
from left-over materials of the original batch in the late 1980's and also later in the 1990's.
Some of those amulets even have been molded with the original molds, but none of those "un-official" batches has the gold color medal at the back (instead they can have some takut in various places, or some yant and mineral relics).
They are still made of the same sacred materials (some time mixed with others in the later batches as original materials were running out), and blessed by the same Masters.

Such "un-official" Phra Somdej Wat Arun amulets are of course much less costly than
the original batch (wich is virtualy impossible to find and has prohibitive price tags)
and i can still sometime offer some.

phra somdej kaisser wat arun
A beautiful example of "un-official" Phra Somdej Kaisser blessed in Wat Arun
in the late 1980's from original ingredients.

Please note that this particular batch has 3 Takut on its lower part,
that were not present on the "official" batch of Phra Somdej Kaisser

at reasonable prices on my online shop.
