we just tcss ah..talked about renting, people now want power want rich but want it cheap
when there is a really power one and n enhance the wearer to the fullest, but comes with a hefty price, they say SIAO BOH..!! so ex, and also not direct from temple. must be fake..

their mind set is only from temple is real deal..but also want cheap
but they never know, now many temples in bangkok or those more popular ones in other province have stop coming out amulets themself but rather the agents from everywhere, they mass produce from factory and sign agreement with temple, the temple will so call bless the amulets in the temple n claim is from the temple and the returns, the agent has or will donate a certain sums to the temple for whatever usage.
Then when agent collection day , take pic from monk or abbot, claim amulet from temple leh..after which, distribute to other amulets sellers, just like the pyramid pattern liao...

they tend to forget, the real old n good deal amulets has already stop production long long ago and if happens to come by one, of cos its not from temple and a high price tag come with it and it must be from some collectors or whoever collects it . Some high value amulets are kept in the kampung in province with the owners unknown of its true value too.

Now i see the taobao site n the amount of thai amulets they selling, wah...amazing leh..and the claim they made...its weird there are people really believe them hor...

yes, i fully agree with what you say.. many people are not aware that the intention to bless a batch of amulet is very important. there are so many commercialised amulets floating around made with the sole purpose of raising fund for the agent themselves..this is in stark contrast to amulets from the past, where temple raise fund is to build infrastructure, schools or temple so the temple can assume responsibility to educate and take care of the villagers better. take a look at those fb live bidding, you can really shake your head.. people want it cheap, famous, good... 555 if it is so good, i bring to sell you for your 10sgd??
if old guru monk amulets are not saksit, you think those thai people will still pay millions of bahts for those amulets?? pantip would have closed shop long ago and people would have discard all those old amulets and replace with the newer one.

1) LP Thim KP lek BE2517, block 2.
2) WPN 3, shallow mould.
3) WPN 3, deep mould.

I know WPN have alot of phim.. let say not those popular phim.. let take it as all is authentic piece and only average condition, if advising the pricing here is not a good ideal.. can pm me?? Thanks very much.. much appreciate.

LP Tim Khun Pean Phim Lek Block 2 is not recognised by many lp tim specialist as really blessed by lp tim. It is either block 1 or none. WPN3 deep/shallow mould is a recognised and standard phim but deep mould is more expensive than shallow mould. difficult to advise pricing because beautiful condition expect to pay 120k thb above for it. yes, this is how expensive it is. I would of course recommend you to get in pantip from the thai judge. if sammakom cannot be trusted, you can rest assure other people are worst.

I dunno what is saksit but most amulet collectors buy amulets to collect, some as potential investment. I am a collector.....

Pantip shops are there, some specialize in these high value amulets, buy n sell, like any other trade dealers. Some just sell normal amulets. Good about Pantip, u can get amulets from most temples in Thailand. Some china men will go Pantip n buy almost the whole shop and sell back in China.

There are value of each shop in Pantip even those selling on small tables.

yes pantip got quite a few stores selling normal amulets from all over thailand but most of those just have a makeshift stalls or tables. The real amulet shops are those brick & motar one trading in old guru monk amulets. I don't about now but in the past, there is also a montien plaza where people only trade high end amulets over there. pantip is definitely more exciting, got many different classes of amulets catering to different collectors/wearers/accessories.

I also collect for investment (some of it only) the rest is personal liking and want to keep for own self.
But to buy pig, monkey or elephant amulets...i rather buy the real pig, monkeys and elephants...
For sure will not think about Doremon either too. Wah Piangz....

Husband left, lost money on gambling, lost her job few times etc etc....

Pii, what u described a bit difficult to know which temple. At least the province then I know which. I know 2, 1 in Chiang Mai, 1 in Nayok.
