Kunpeng is actually the Buddha himself. Actually Kunpeng is more for ren-yuen and overall protection.
Most famous Kunpeng is Kunpeng Plai-Kuman by LP Thim (my fav and respected Thai monk).

than i heard that those khun paen with all this image is not really 'zheng zhong'? the very first or those worth collecting is the khun paen alone one without anything else?

thank.

in some ways, amulets made in the mould of women are supposedly for female attraction, legend has it that Khun paen, a thai general, has many wives, etc so its supposedly for female attraction.but if you look like kenna car buang, will a khun paen help u?=P sorry for the example, but hope u noe wat i am driving at.
gumanthong is a child spirit that khun paen 'made' with the corpse of his own dead child, however, some people also pray to gumanthong so i shouldnt really say much about this, its all a matter of preference and what works for you.
Lp Tim, wat lahangrai Rayong is famous for making the Khun paen plai guman amulet, super expensive and also many fakes. That is a good amulet to get if you can afford it.
chicken is often portrayed in gambling dens previously ala fighting cocks, (hahaha) so certain khun paens are made with chicken images, supposedly for gambling luck, again i would say ..if like tat then we all can be Yanfei in casino liao.=P

to summarise, all these are made for different purposes and are part of a sales tactic if you ask me.
wah seh super long post. sorry!

bro, i beg your pardon?
khun paen is the buddha himself? you power siah!

Khun paen is not the buddha, the amulet is named Khun paen after the legendary thai general, however the image is that of Buddha.

It is just a method of naming the amulet, eg, somdet, etc..not to be confused with buddha being Khun paen.

Cheers!

Sorry to cause confusion. My meaning is the image of Kunpean amulet is Lord Buddha himself.

Hi Bro slippers, Khun Paen did not 'made' GMT from his dead child. actually, when khun paen was wanted by the 'govement' of that time. he went hiding in the forest and the daughter of the forest bandit king fall in love wif him (almost evey woman fall in love with him, even his own wife person maid). the bandit king let his daughter to marry (of cause with bonking) Khun paen but secretly ask his daughter to steal khun paen scroll (this scroll past from khun paen teacher to him, that teach him many magic including how to make GMT). his daughter refuse and the bandit king do some magic of his own on his daughter to make her steal, his daughter is pergant at that time. when Khun paen found out, he is very angry and he open up the bandit king daughter belly and take out the baby to make GMT ( the daughter of cause die). at the end of everything, Khun paen deeply regret doing this and set GMT free.

cheers

Hi Bro Virgin Lover

Recently I went Batu Pahat and visited a some sort of fortune teller. he also into thai buddha and amulets. When he saw me wearing an amulet, he ask me do i say prayer ? i told him no. I only bring to thai temple once in a while for chanting.

Now, bro VL , he asked he to recite a short chant n blow at my pitda. Do this 3 times, 1 morning n 1 night for 49 days. He says after that when thai monk saw me, they will greet me and I have to return my greetings to them also. Have you came across any of such saying? Or any bros out there can verify? Be very naive hope bros out there can help??? Advise pls....

Cheers
