Cool. I used to collect a lot of amulets mostly brought back from my thai friend.
I like to collect Luang Por Thuad especially those from Wat Chang hai and those from Luang Por Daeng(with a lot tangkai inside and with funny name like chek chek kam ma kam). I was so obsessed with it the old days and spent all my money and time in reading the magazine and recognize all the achan, their wat and their famous batch of amulet. But i almost forget all of them now except some very famous one.

What you say is right, learning more before you buy any amulets. And dont believe in many of the so called experts tell you about this and that. I met too many uncle and even thai monk who told me they had more than 200 years old Luang Por Thuad and some even want to sell it to me. In fact the very first batch of Luang Por Thuad was made in 2497(1954) by Achan Tim(Wat Chang Hai, white elephant temple) with the help of Achan Nong from Wat Sai khao.

Anyway no collector of local amulets? There are quite some well known one in Malaysia too and much more cheaper like Chao Kun Pao, Tok Raja and the butterworth LuangPor Win.

I didnt know LP Win just passed away few months back. R.I.P.
His tangkai was so so famous those day after all his legendary rumuor and the police officers that ask him to stop issuing tangkai.

I was away from BM so long and never heard of monks and amulets for many many years already. All my precious amulet and include LP Win Tangkai also got steal away by my friends and my mother given the rest away to my uncle who dont know shit about amulet without my permission. I was so damn pissed after i found out but it was already too late. He sold some of my Luun Nuen (First batch) amulet and so many of my LP Thuad.

All i left now is two amulet and 1 statue that i bring along with me to KL.

Added on February 2, 2007, 6:55 pmThe first one doesnt look like a Kun Paen to me but i could be wrong because it is kinda blur after covering with all the gold film, and most of all im noob.

Is it look like a cock or a monkey under there?
And if it is a genuine one, it worth a lot.
edited: Forgot the Master name, not LP Sod. It is actually a series of amulet of a Buddha sitting on top of various creature like monkey and cock.

skeleton?
Or was it a kumantong?
I never see a khunpaen with skeleton.

Ya. You bring back my memory.
It's LP Ban who made those somdej that sit on a cock, eagle, haruman, fighting fish and boar.

lordz,
You can check out here about LP Ban and compare if your amulet is anything like the picture below. If yes and provided that it is not imitate then congrats, those are really bombs.

R.I.P. LP Win.
Will post my LP thuad statue when i'm free.

I got only 2 LPT amulet and 1 statue left.
Nothing special la.
Will post some picture when i can.

Dude, I thought all modern Somdej Wat Rakang got a blue ink chop from the wat at the back of the amulet? I used to have one too.

The first and the last one are LuangPor Thuad which you can recognise by looking at the old monk sitting on a lotus. He is one of the most holiest and famous monk in thai ever.
The third and forth are Phra Pidta like what accessdenied said.
Pidta model are usually a chubby buddha sitting with crossing legs and covering it's face. I heard they wear Pidta for wealthiness.

I cant recall the other similar amulets which cover not only face but body with many pair of hands. Is it something like Aranhang?? Is it said people wearing it may grant with great fighting spirit like wearing hanuman. Although I dont quite believe this stuff.

Ya. I believe it only work with great believe and the right heart.
Don't expect things like you will get girl or win lottery when wearing KhunPaen or wearing some 9 amulets at once and go rob a bank.
Doesn't matters an old or new amulet. Just make sure you get the genuine one from your Ajahn, wearing it with respect and such. A big miracle may happen or it may not. But at least their bless stay with you.

I personally heard and read a lot of miracle wearing an amulet.
My favourite one are the LP Khoon amulet that let this man live after hitting by 20 over bullets. All the bullets broke his shirt and stuck right at the outer skin. I saw the picture with his back all bullet wound. Wow. And the minister that survive in a car with m16 bullet holes all over like bee nest.

It's called the guillotine.

My friends KhunPaen also broke into two pieces at home while he is having an accident outside. Wonder what happen if the amulet is an metal/bronze one. haha.
