What is the Luang Phor Pae B.E. 2537 "sacred blood" Somdej?
Phra Somdej (พระสมเด็จ) is one of Thailand's most classic amulet forms: a seated Buddha on a rectangular plaque, symbolising the Buddha's compassion and wisdom. Luang Phor Pae Khemangkaro (หลวงพ่อแพ เขมงฺกโร) of Wat Pikun Thong (วัดพิกุลทอง), Sing Buri, is best known for his Somdej amulets.
This piece was issued in B.E. 2537. "Sacred blood Somdej" is a collectors' nickname: according to the supplier, Luang Phor Pae's own blood was mixed into the powder for this batch, together with sacred wax, a red-copper takrut, crystal, robe fibre, hair and fragments of old amulets. These material claims come from the supplier and we have not been able to verify them.

FAQ
Q: Why is it called the "sacred blood" Somdej?
A: It is a collectors' nickname. According to the supplier, Luang Phor Pae's own blood and various sacred materials were mixed into the powder for this batch. The association's card records only authenticity and the amulet name, not materials, so this rests on the supplier's information and we have not verified it.
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. 08497, amulet name "ลพ แพ" (Luang Phor Pae), marked "แท้" (genuine), with the "มีซ่อม" (repaired) box left blank, dated 22 September B.E. 2569 (2026). The buyer receives the association's formal certificate.
Q: Can I wear a powder amulet every day?
A: Yes, it is cased and sealed. Powder dislikes long soaking, so take it off for bathing or swimming.
Q: Who is it suited to?
A: Frequent travellers and people in risky work, business owners, anyone wishing for their family's safety, and collectors of Luang Phor Pae and Sing Buri 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.
