What is the Ajarn Perng B.E. 2541 "59 Spirits" Khun Paen (Phra Khun Paen Phrai 59)?
Phra Khun Paen (พระขุนแผน) is named after Khun Paen, the handsome and well-loved general of Thai folklore, so Khun Paen amulets have always been worn for charm, popularity and attraction. "Phrai" (พราย) is the name for a special class of ingredients used in Khun Paen amulets.
According to the supplier, this batch was made with Phrai powder containing the remains of 59 people from very different walks of life, hence the name "59 Spirits". This piece is the "pure material" version, pressed mainly from that powder. The supplier adds that leftover material from the Khun Paen was used to make a set of 59 Spirits beads.

Ajarn Perng and the 59 Spirits
Ajarn Perng's Khun Paen amulets are well regarded among Chinese-speaking collectors, and the 59 Spirits is his best-known batch. According to the supplier, he held that only the remains of people of great merit, spiritual practice or high standing would give an amulet real power; the 59 were chosen on that basis and, after rites to pacify them, added to the powder. This background comes from the supplier and we cannot verify it independently.
Blessings
- Charm and popularity: the classic Khun Paen blessing
- Attraction: the traditional choice for romance
- Wealth and business: customers and earned income
- Protection: traditionally also worn against danger
Please note: an amulet supports your own efforts and intentions; it does not guarantee any outcome. Keeping the Five Precepts is traditionally encouraged.
