What is the Wat Sam Ngam Kuman Thong second batch (กุมารทอง ๒ วัดสามง่าม)?
Kuman Thong (กุมารทอง) is the traditional Thai sacred child figure, kept or worn for business, wealth and protection. Luang Phor Tae Kongthong (หลวงพ่อเต๋ คงทอง, B.E. 2434–2524) of Wat Sam Ngam (วัดสามง่าม), Nakhon Pathom, is the most famous Kuman Thong master in Thailand, and his figures are the benchmark for the type.
Luang Phor Tae passed away in B.E. 2524 (1981). This piece is the "Kuman Thong 2" (กุมารทอง ๒) issued by Wat Sam Ngam in B.E. 2567, not a piece from his lifetime; a second Nang Kwak batch (แม่นางกวัก ๒) was issued at the same ceremony. According to the supplier, the batch was started by senior collectors of Luang Phor Tae's lineage, who had a fine first-batch Kuman Thong 3D-scanned as the model, so that more people could afford a Kuman Thong from his line.

Luang Phor Tae and the Wat Sam Ngam Kuman Thong
Luang Phor Tae (B.E. 2434–2524) of Wat Sam Ngam, Nakhon Pathom, made Kuman Thong famous across Thailand. His early figures used carefully gathered materials and survive in small numbers; fine first-batch pieces now sell for a million baht and more. Since his passing, Wat Sam Ngam has continued to issue commemorative and lineage Kuman Thong, and this piece is one of them, keeping the classic seated pose of his first batch.
Blessings
- Business: Kuman Thong are traditionally kept for trade and customers
- Wealth: support for earned income and windfall luck
- Protection: of the wearer and the home
- Goodwill: popularity and helpful people
Please note: an amulet supports your own efforts and intentions; it does not guarantee any outcome. Keeping the Five Precepts is traditionally encouraged.
Craftsmanship
The child sits cross-legged on a square base with hands held at the chest, with a sculpted face and a necklace. The front of the base carries a chequered yantra. The back is smoothly rounded with clear robe folds and base steps, in a matte silver-white finish. It is mounted in an arched case with a ring: a row of clear stones around the front and a patterned frame on the back, listed by the supplier as silver set with stones. The photos also include the sacred soils used for this batch and the ceremony poster, for background.
FAQ
Q: Was this blessed by Luang Phor Tae himself?
A: No. Luang Phor Tae passed away in B.E. 2524; this is the second-batch Kuman Thong issued by Wat Sam Ngam in B.E. 2567, modelled on his first batch. The association receipt names it "กุมารทอง ๒ วัดสามง่าม" (Wat Sam Ngam Kuman Thong 2) and lists no blessing master.
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. 00599, naming "กุมารทอง ๒ วัดสามง่าม", marked "แท้" (genuine), with the "มีซ่อม" (repaired) box left blank, dated 8 September B.E. 2569 (2026). The buyer receives the association's formal certificate.
Q: Is it really solid silver?
A: Solid silver and the silver stone-set case are as listed by the supplier; the association receipt does not state the material.
Q: Can I wear it every day?
A: Yes, it is cased with a ring. Silver darkens slowly with sweat and air; a soft cloth is enough to brighten it.
Q: Who is it suited to?
A: Shop and business owners, anyone hoping for smoother finances and goodwill, and collectors who love Luang Phor Tae's Kuman Thong line at an accessible price.
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.
