What is the Luang Pho Sakorn B.E. 2551 Khun Paen, small mold with gold takrut (Phra Khun Paen Luang Pho Sakorn Run Traimas 51)?
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. Luang Pho Sakorn Manunyo (หลวงพ่อสาคร มนุญโญ) of Wat Nong Krub (วัดหนองกรับ), Rayong, is best known for his Khun Paen amulets.
This piece belongs to the B.E. 2551 "Traimas 51" batch. "Traimas" (ไตรมาส) is the three-month Rains Retreat, when temples traditionally consecrate amulets together, so the batch is often called the 2551 Rains Retreat issue. The supplier titles it the "committee edition" small mold with Phrai Kuman powder (พรายกุมาร); the association certificate gives the material as "เนื้อผงตะกรุดทองคำ", sacred powder with a gold takrut.

Who was Luang Pho Sakorn?
Luang Pho Sakorn was a senior monk of Wat Nong Krub in Rayong with close ties to Luang Pho Tim (หลวงพ่อทิม) of nearby Wat Lahan Rai. According to the supplier, he studied with several teachers before ordaining, was ordained under Luang Pho Tim and regarded as his leading disciple, inheriting the Khun Paen practice of that lineage, and also travelled to Myanmar to study. His Khun Paen batches were taken up quickly on release and have kept rising among Thai collectors.

Craftsmanship
The familiar roof-shaped Khun Paen outline in the small mold. The gilded front shows the Buddha seated in meditation on a lotus base beneath an arch of flame scrolls, with a guardian figure on each side and the reclining figure below the base. The pale yellow powder back carries a five-petal yantra with a sacred syllable in each petal, and a gold takrut set vertically through the centre; two lines of Thai along the base read "หลวงพ่อสาคร มนุญโญ" and "วัดหนองกรับ จ.ระยอง". The sides show the powder grain under the gold coating, with a stamped code on the bottom edge. Uncased.
FAQ
Q: How do I know it is the 2551 batch with a gold takrut?
A: The Thai Buddha Image Admiration Association formal certificate reads "พระขุนแผนหลวงพ่อสาคร รุ่นไตรมาส51 เนื้อผงตะกรุดทองคำ พ.ศ. 2551": Luang Pho Sakorn Khun Paen, 2551 Rains Retreat batch, powder with gold takrut, from Wat Nong Krub, No. P00589. The gold takrut is stated on the certificate, not only by the supplier.
Q: What is Phrai Kuman powder?
A: Phrai Kuman powder (ผงพรายกุมาร) is a traditional ingredient in Khun Paen amulets, believed to strengthen charm and wish fulfilment. Its use in this piece is stated by the supplier; the certificate records the material simply as powder (เนื้อผง).
Q: Can I wear a powder amulet every day?
A: Yes, ideally in a waterproof case. Powder does not like long soaking, so take it off for showers and swimming.
Q: How does it differ from the Luang Pho Sakorn 2543 third-batch large mold on this site?
A: The 2543 third batch is a large mold with a takrut the supplier lists as silver. This piece is the 2551 Rains Retreat small mold with a certificate-stated gold takrut, smaller and easy to wear every day.
Q: Who is it suited to?
A: Business owners and sales professionals, anyone who needs goodwill and persuasive speech, those seeking romance, and collectors of Rayong Khun Paen 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.
