According to the supplier, this is a first-batch "Pai Geng Ya" takrut (ตะกรุด) from B.E. 2557 (2014) by Ajarn Chun (Phra Yakhu Chun / พระญาคูจุณฑ์). Two pieces are available, sold individually. Each is hand-rolled, wrapped in gold leaf at the centre with black lacquer at both ends and metal end caps, so no two are exactly alike. A Thai takrut is a rolled amulet inscribed with sacred formulae, carried on the body or tied at the waist. The supplier says 2,000 were made and blessed in this batch, each individually numbered, and that it is worn for popularity, romance and business luck. Both pieces were judged genuine by the Thai Buddha Image Admiration Association, Nos. 01745 and 01744; the formal certificate is included with each. The price is per piece. They are held by a partner supplier, so please submit a request and we confirm availability by email within 24 hours.
What is the Ajarn Chun B.E. 2557 "Pai Geng Ya" takrut (ตะกรุด ๒๕๕๗)?
The takrut (ตะกรุด) is one of Thailand's oldest protective amulets: the master inscribes sacred formulae and yantra on a thin sheet of metal, rolls it into a slim tube, then blesses and seals it. It can be hung on a cord around the neck, tied at the waist or carried in a bag.
According to the supplier, these takrut come from the first batch made by Ajarn Chun (Phra Yakhu Chun / พระญาคูจุณฑ์) in B.E. 2557, which the supplier calls the "Pai Geng Ya" takrut, with 2,000 made and blessed, each individually numbered. The association receipts record the item simply as "ตะกรุด" (takrut) without naming the master or the year.

About Ajarn Chun
Ajarn Chun is a practising monk from northeastern Thailand to whom the supplier attributes this batch. The association receipts record only "takrut" and do not name a master, so the attribution rests on the supplier's information.

- Romance: support for attraction and relationships
- Business and wealth: customers and smoother dealings
- Protection: takrut have long been carried for personal protection
Note: a takrut supports a calm mind and good conduct; it does not guarantee any outcome. Wearers are encouraged to keep the Five Precepts.
Appearance and craftsmanship
The two pieces look alike: the centre is wrapped in layers of gold leaf showing the folds of hand rolling, both ends are sealed in black lacquer, and each tip has a silver-white metal cap. Because every piece is made by hand, the creases in the gold leaf and the thickness of the lacquer differ slightly. In the photos each sits in its own association case, numbered 01745 and 01744.
FAQ
Q: What is the yellow card in the photos, and which card do I receive?
A: The yellow card is the Thai Buddha Image Admiration Association's authentication receipt, issued on the spot once a piece is judged genuine; the formal certificate is collected on the Thursday of the following week. The two receipts are No. 01745 and No. 01744, amulet name "ตะกรุด" (takrut), both marked "แท้" (genuine), with the "มีซ่อม" (repaired) box left blank, dated 6 October B.E. 2569 (2026). The buyer receives the association's formal certificate.
Q: Can I buy both?
A: Yes. Two pieces are available and the listed price is per piece; choose a quantity of 2 to request both.
Q: How do I wear a takrut?
A: Hang it on a cord around the neck, tie it at the waist, or keep it in a wallet or bag. Treat it with respect and avoid placing it low or taking it into unclean places.
Q: Who is it suited to?
A: People in business and sales, anyone hoping for better relationships and romance, and collectors of Thai takrut.
Q: Why do I request first and pay later?
A: This piece is held by a partner supplier rather than in our Bangkok stock. So that nobody pays for a piece that has already gone, we confirm with the supplier first and reply by email within 24 hours. If it is available, the email includes a payment link valid for 24 hours. Submitting a request costs nothing.
