Phra Khun Paen Thep Nimit by Luang Pho Sakorn, Run Sang Ubosot (the batch issued to build the temple ordination hall), Phim Lek (small mould), sacred powder, B.E. 2554 (2011), from Wat Thep Nimit in Uthai Thani. Mould-pressed yantra on the reverse with an embedded gold takrut plate, already fitted in a clear waterproof case. Light and discreet on the chest. Certified P06548. One piece only.
1. What is a Phra Khun Paen amulet
Khun Paen takes its name from the hero of the Thai classic Khun Chang Khun Phaen, remembered as equally skilled in learning and arms and irresistibly well liked. The amulet does not depict him: it shows the Buddha seated in meditation on a lotus base beneath an ornamental arch, in the five-sided house-shaped mould, so the charm is carried by the Dhamma.
Its core purpose is Metta Maha Niyom, mercy and popularity: personal magnetism, romantic attraction, mentor and customer favour, and the business that follows from being liked.

2. What a build-the-ubosot batch means
The ubosot is the hall where ordinations and formal monastic acts take place. It is the heart of a Thai temple and by far its most expensive building. A batch issued to fund one is a merit-raising release: taking the amulet is itself a contribution to the construction.
Collectors value these batches because the purpose and year are documented rather than vague, and because the temple usually commits its best sacred materials and most formal ceremony to a project of this visibility.
3. Blessings and who it suits

- Business, sales and negotiation
- Wealth and general safety
Suited to anyone whose work depends on people, to those seeking a partner, and to wearers who want a smaller amulet that sits discreetly under a shirt. Not recommended for pregnant women or children under 16.
Note: Thai amulets are objects of faith and cultural collection. Their purpose is to remind the wearer to keep precepts and act well. The blessings described here reflect Thai devotional tradition and are not a financial, medical or legal guarantee of any kind.
4. Craftsmanship
Front: the five-sided house mould with the Buddha in meditation on a lotus base beneath a flame-and-scrollwork arch that tapers upward, with further ornament below the lotus. The small mould is finer in line than the large one.
Back: a mould-pressed yantra, a crossed diagram with sacred syllables set in roundels, a square gold takrut plate set into the centre, and the master name Luang Pho Sakorn with the temple name Thep Nimit pressed below.
The powder body is a natural cream to earth tone with visible material grain and fine pores, normal for a pressed powder amulet.
It comes already fitted in an intact clear waterproof case with a loop.
5. FAQ
Q: Is it authentic, and how can I check?
A: It ships with a Thai authentication card, certificate no. P06548, card no. GJ08-B33D7, issued 18 August B.E. 2569, naming the amulet, the temple (Wat Thep Nimit) and the province (Uthai Thani), with two signatures and a QR code you can scan yourself. Backed by our ten-times refund guarantee.
Q: How does the small mould differ from the large one, and is the large one worth more?
A: The difference is not only size. In this batch the large mould is bigger and more deeply struck, with a bodhi arch on two columns and a hand-inscribed yantra on the back, and is generally more sought after by collectors. The small mould, this piece, has a flame-and-scrollwork arch and a mould-pressed yantra, and is lighter and more discreet for daily wear. Same batch, same materials, same ceremony: as sacred objects neither ranks above the other. Choose by budget and by how you intend to wear it.
Q: Is a powder amulet vulnerable to water?
A: Powder dislikes prolonged damp and sweat. This piece already has a clear waterproof case, so it is ready for daily wear. For a metal or gold-plated case instead, note it at checkout and we will fit one in Bangkok before shipping.
Q: Is this the same Luang Pho Sakorn as the one at Wat Nong Krub in Rayong?
A: The certificate for this piece names Wat Thep Nimit in Uthai Thani. Shared monastic names are common in Thailand. We list exactly what the certificate states and do not merge records across temples or borrow another master reputation for this piece.
Q: How should I wear it?
A: Usually worn alone on the chest. Keep the five precepts, give, and speak kindly. With charm amulets in particular, Thai tradition holds that the wearer own conduct is what the blessing works through.
