EXCELLENT AND BEAUTIFUL CONDITION!
TOP TIERED AMULET IN THE ENTIRE THAI AMULETS INDUSTRY!
ONE OF THE TOP 3 VARIANTS OF THE ENTIRE BENJAKEE CATEGORY FOR WAT KEAT CHAI YOH!

What we present today represents the absolute pinnacle of the Thai amulet world.

Known collectively as the Phra Benjapakee, these amulets occupy the highest echelon of Thai Buddhist amulet collecting and are universally recognised by experts, historians, and seasoned collectors as the definitive “Top Tier” category within the entire industry.

The term “Benjapakee” is derived from two words:
• “Benja” – meaning “five”
• “Pakee” – meaning “group” or “collection”

Together, the term translates to “The Five Great Amulets”.

The five legendary amulet categories recognised under the Phra Benjapakee classification are:

Phra Somdej
Recognised from three principal temples:
• Wat Rakang Kositaram, Bangkok
• Wat Mai Amataros Bangkhunphrom, Bangkok
• Wat Keat Chai Yoh, Ang Thong

Phra Phong Suphan – Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat, Suphanburi

Phra Soom Kor – Wat Phra Borommathat, Kamphaeng Phet

Phra Nang Phaya – Wat Nang Phaya, Phitsanulok

Phra Rod – Wat Mahawan, Lamphun

Among these five legendary categories, the Phra Somdej stands as perhaps the most revered and iconic of all.

The featured specimen here belongs to one of the three highly recognised and top-tiered Wat Keat Chai Yoh Phra Somdej variants blessed by the legendary Somdej Phra Phutthachan Toh, the creator of the Phra Somdej amulet itself.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest monks in Thai history, Somdej Toh remains one of the most influential and deeply revered figures in Thai Buddhism. Born in Ayutthaya in B.E. 2331 and later formally bestowed the title Somdej Phra Buddhacarya (Toh Brahmaramsi), he was renowned for his profound mastery of Buddhist teachings, exceptional preaching abilities, and his close relationship with King Rama IV, whom he once served as preceptor and trusted advisor.

His Phra Somdej amulets have since become some of the most respected, desirable, and culturally significant Buddhist amulets ever created.

Out of the entire Wat Keat Chai Yoh lineage, only three variants are formally recognised to have been blessed by Somdej Toh himself:

Phra Somdej Pim Jaet Chan Niyom (7-Tiered Popular Variant)

Phra Somdej Pim Hok Chan Oak Tarn (6-Tiered Firm Chest Variant)

Phra Somdej Pim Hok Chan Oak Talod (6-Tiered Continuous Chest Variant)

This featured piece is known as “Phra Somdej Pim Hok Chan Oak Tarn”.

The condition is nothing short of spectacular! Beautifully preserved despite having a history of more than 150 years old!

Most Phra Somdej in the Benjapakee Category are broken due the age and fragility of the powder amulets, and most pieces are broken into many different pieces, upwards of 5 broken pieces and are restored and patched back together.

Complete and unrepaired pieces can easily fetch a market value of upwards of more than SGD$100,000 (approx. 2,400,000 baht) which is, for a lack of better phrase, out of reach for most collectors in the world.

This particular piece is a restored piece, and unlike most pieces encountered in the market, it is restored from two very clean pieces.. Making it a very rare encounter and something highly sought after by collectors.

Beautifully restored by a highly skilled and sought after artisan that is extremely well known in the industry for his impeccable workmanship when it comes to restoring Phra Somdej amulets from Wat Rakang, Bangkhunphrom and Wat Keat Chai Yoh!

A superb and worthy contender at any major competitions! Highly, highly collectible! As we have explained earlier, this is the PINNACLE of the entire Thai Amulet Industry!

INCLUSIVE OF A CUSTOM MADE SOLID GOLD OPEN/CLOSE CASING WEIGHING 40 GRAMS!
