What is the Jatukam Ramathep first-batch "stamp" medal (Jatukam Ramathep Run Raek 2530 Rian Stamp)?
Jatukam Ramathep (จตุคามรามเทพ) is the guardian deity of Nakhon Si Thammarat in southern Thailand, revered as a protector of the city and of wealth. The pieces issued in B.E. 2530 (1987) are the first batch of Jatukam amulets; every later issue from every temple traces back to this one. According to the supplier, this batch is closely linked with Khun Phan (ขุนพันธ์), the famous southern police figure, which is why Chinese-speaking collectors call it the "Ajarn Khun Phan Jatukam".
"Stamp" (แสตมป์) is collectors' name for this rectangular medal: square-cut with a beaded border, like a postage stamp.

Origins of the first-batch Jatukam
Nakhon Si Thammarat is an ancient city of southern Thailand, and Jatukam Ramathep is its guardian deity. The B.E. 2530 issue is the first batch of Jatukam amulets; when a nationwide Jatukam craze swept Thailand around B.E. 2550 (2007), the first batch rose in standing with it. According to the supplier, it is often called the "Ajarn Khun Phan B.E. 2530 first batch". Khun Phan was not a monk but a highly respected former police officer of the region; the association receipt names only "จตุคามรามเทพ" and lists no person.
Blessings
- Wealth: Jatukam is famous in Thailand for drawing earned and windfall income
- Career and business: new projects, trade and promotion
- Protection: warding off harm, danger and ill-wishers
- Turning luck: traditionally seen as a guardian who helps people out of hard times
Please note: an amulet supports your own efforts and intentions; it does not guarantee any outcome. Keeping the Five Precepts is traditionally encouraged.

FAQ
Q: How do I know it is the B.E. 2530 first batch?
A: The back is cast with "๓ สิงหาคม ๒๕๓๐" (3 August B.E. 2530) and "ปีเถาะ" (Year of the Rabbit), matching the first-batch ceremony date. The Thai Buddha Image Admiration Association receipt names the piece "จตุคามรามเทพ", ticks "แท้" (genuine) and is numbered 09082.
Q: What is the yellow card in the photos, and which card will I receive?
A: The yellow card is the association's authentication receipt, issued on the spot once a piece is judged genuine; the formal certificate is collected the following Thursday. This receipt is No. 09082, with "แท้" (genuine) ticked and "มีซ่อม" (repaired) left blank, dated 6 October B.E. 2569 (2026). The buyer receives the formal certificate.
Q: What is the case made of?
A: The supplier describes it as sterling silver plated with white gold, with white stones on the front. The case material has not been tested by the association; the certification covers the amulet only.
Q: Who is "Ajarn Khun Phan", and why is his name not on the card?
A: Khun Phan was a famous former police officer of southern Thailand, not a monk. According to the supplier he is closely linked with this batch, hence the name used by Chinese-speaking collectors. The association records only the name of the amulet, not its sponsors, so this is normal.
Q: Who is it suited to?
A: People in business, finance and property, construction projects, sales and retail, online trade and entertainment, and collectors of early Jatukam amulets.
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.
