What is the Phra Kring Mueang Fa Daet (พระกริ่งเมืองฟ้าแดด)?
A Phra Kring (พระกริ่ง) is a small cast seated Buddha in the form of the Medicine Buddha; traditionally a bead is sealed inside the base so it rings when shaken, which gives the type its name. Mueang Fa Daet refers to Mueang Fa Daet Song Yang (เมืองฟ้าแดดสูงยาง), an ancient Dvaravati-period city in Kalasin (กาฬสินธุ์), north-east Thailand. This image follows the traditional Buddha of that region, and the flame-like aureole behind the head is why Chinese-speaking collectors call it the "flame-halo Medicine Buddha".
The certificates record the batch as "รุ่นสร้างอาคารพรหมวิหาร", the Phrommawihan Building batch, issued by Kalasin Hospital (โรงพยาบาลกาฬสินธุ์). The batch included statues and amulets in several metals; this is the silver (เนื้อเงิน) Phra Kring statuette.

Who blessed it?
The batch was issued by Kalasin Hospital to raise funds for a new Phrommawihan building. The association certificates record the issuer and batch name but do not list the blessing monks. According to the supplier, 49 accomplished masters from across Thailand took part in the consecration ceremony, among them Luang Phor Khun of Wat Ban Rai and the north-eastern master Luang Pu Kham Phan. A charitable hospital project blessed by many masters at once is what has made this batch popular with collectors in Isan.
Blessings
- Health and safety: the Medicine Buddha is traditionally invoked for wellbeing and safe travels
- Protection: guarding the wearer against accidents and trouble
- Wealth and career: support for steady work and income
- Home: as a statuette it can sit on a home altar to protect the household
Note: amulets support practice and intention; they do not guarantee any outcome and are no substitute for medical care. Keeping the Five Precepts is traditionally recommended.
Craftsmanship
The Buddha sits cross-legged on a tiered lotus base, holding a medicine bowl before the abdomen, with a jewelled collar and armlets. Behind the head is an open-work flame aureole through which the ushnisha can be seen from the back. The front of the base carries the Thai name and the back carries a Thai inscription. The flat underside is sealed with a round plug, typical of Phra Kring statuettes. All three have a silver finish with natural toning in places.
FAQ
Q: How do we know it is silver?
A: All three formal certificates read "พระกริ่งเมืองฟ้าแดด รุ่นสร้างอาคารพรหมวิหาร เนื้อเงิน พ.ศ. 2537"; "เนื้อเงิน" means silver.
Q: Did Luang Phor Khun really bless this batch?
A: The certificates name the issuer, Kalasin Hospital, and do not list monks. The account of 49 masters including Luang Phor Khun and Luang Pu Kham Phan comes from the supplier, and we pass it on as such.
Q: How do the three pieces differ, and which one do I get?
A: All three are from the same batch in the same metal, each with its own formal certificate (K00582, K00583, K00584) and the same price. The quantity you order is the number of pieces. If you prefer a particular number, add a note to your request and we will check with the supplier.
Q: Can I carry a statuette with me?
A: Yes. It is small enough for a pouch or a small box, or it can be placed on a home altar. Keep the silver away from sweat and chemicals and wipe it with a soft cloth.
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.
