What is the Luang Pho Sakorn gold-face yellow-powder twin-takrut Khun Paen (B.E. 2546)?
Phra Khun Paen (พระขุนแผน) takes its name from Khun Paen, the dashing general of Thai folklore, which is why these amulets are known above all for charm, popularity and drawing customers. Luang Pho Sakorn Manunyo (หลวงพ่อสาคร มนุญโญ) of Wat Nong Krub (วัดหนองกรับ), Rayong, is best known for his Khun Paen.
"Gold face" means the front is gilded, "yellow powder" means the sacred-powder body is yellow, and "twin takrut" means two rolled-metal takrut are set side by side in the back. It is one of the most recognisable versions of his B.E. 2546 Khun Paen.

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. This piece's yellow card is No. 08295, amulet name "ขุนแผน ลพ.สาคร" (Luang Pho Sakorn Khun Paen), marked "แท้" (genuine), with the "มีซ่อม" (repaired) box left blank, dated 25 August B.E. 2569 (2026). The buyer receives the association's formal certificate.
Q: How does the gold-face yellow-powder version differ from others?
A: The gold face is a gilded front and the yellow powder is the colour of the body; both are visible in the photos. Within one batch, collectors separate versions by face finish, powder colour and number of takrut.
Q: What is special about twin takrut?
A: A takrut is a strip of metal inscribed with sacred script by the master and rolled into a tube, set into the amulet to strengthen it. This piece has two side by side.
Q: Can I wear a powder amulet every day?
A: Yes, ideally in a waterproof case to protect it from moisture and knocks.
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.
