What is the Kruba Bo Yang five-eyed, four-eared monkey (Si Hu Ha Ta Kruba Boonyang)?
The five-eyed, four-eared monkey (Si Hu Ha Ta / สี่หูห้าตา) is a wealth guardian from the Lanna tradition of northern Thailand. It has three extra eyes on its brow and a second pair of ears, and northern Thai belief holds that it watches and listens in every direction to guard and draw in wealth for its owner. According to the supplier, the five eyes stand for the Five Precepts and the four ears for the Four Immeasurables, and northern folk sayings describe it as eating charcoal and passing gold.
This figure was made by Kruba Bo Yang (ครูบาบุญยัง). The association certificate records the temple as Wat Huai Nam Un (วัดห้วยน้ำอุ่น) in Lamphun, the year as B.E. 2566 and the material as silver (เนื้อเงิน). According to the supplier, it belongs to Kruba Bo Yang's "Ruay Ruay Ruay" (rich, rich, rich) series.

Kruba Bo Yang and the northern five-eyed, four-eared tradition
"Kruba" (ครูบา) is the title northern Thais give to monks of deep virtue in the Lanna region. The five-eyed, four-eared monkey is one of the best-known Lanna wealth amulets and several northern Krubas have issued their own. Kruba Bo Yang's versions are small free-standing figures that crouch on a round base with one hand raised to the mouth; this is the silver edition, the finest material in the series.
Blessings
- Drawing wealth: the main meaning of the five-eyed, four-eared monkey in northern tradition, for income and trade
- Keeping wealth: guarding household savings against needless loss
- Windfall luck: support for unexpected gains and opportunities
- Watchfulness: seeing opportunities and risks from every side
Please note: an amulet supports your own efforts and intentions; it does not guarantee any outcome. Keeping the Five Precepts is traditionally encouraged.
Craftsmanship
The monkey crouches on a round base with one hand raised to its mouth; the three brow eyes and the extra pair of ears are visible from the front. From behind you can see dense fur texture and a long tail curling upward, with a small ornament at the back of the base. The whole figure is silver with a fine matte finish. It is mounted in a gold-tone case with a row of clear stones around the front frame, an engraved pattern on the back and a double bail at the top.
FAQ
Q: How do I know it is silver?
A: The Thai Buddha Image Admiration Association formal certificate reads "สี่หูห้าตาครูบาบุญยัง เนื้อเงิน พ.ศ. 2566": Kruba Boonyang five-eyed, four-eared, silver, B.E. 2566, from วัดห้วยน้ำอุ่น (Lamphun), No. KR03499.
Q: How is it different from an ordinary monkey amulet?
A: The extra three eyes on the brow and the second pair of ears are unique to the Lanna five-eyed, four-eared design, meaning it sees and hears in every direction; it is worn mainly for drawing and keeping wealth.
Q: Will the silver tarnish?
A: Silver darkens naturally over time, which is normal and does not affect the piece. It is sealed in a case, so daily wear has little effect.

A: Business owners, shopkeepers and sales professionals, people who want to hold on to their savings, and collectors of northern Kruba amulets.
