 How can I afford to own Somedj Wat Rakhang ?
 
Somdej Toh was one of the most famous Buddhist monks in modern Thai history. His amulets fetch prices anywhere from a few million Baht to 30 Million Baht.

You may believe that his amulets are well beyond the pocket of the average collector, this is a popular misconception even amongst experienced collectors.

He created and blessed Phra Somdej amulets other than the much publicized and promoted Somdej amulets originally blessed c. BE 2400

One perfect example is the amulet below known as Phra Somdej Wat Rakhang, Phra That Phanom (Song Chedi), which he created and blessed in c. 2508. Most of the amulets were then stored in the chedi at Nakom Panom, close to the Laos border

It wasn't until BE 2518 that these amulets were finally recovered after a violent storm and subsequent flooding damaged the chedi walls.

The beauty of this amulet is beyond words, simply unique.

 
First impression of this amulet is to dismiss it too easily, unless you understand the history behind it. The most interesting aspect of this amulet is of course the colourful beads, and one of the reasons actually that even experienced collectors have often failed to recognise the importance of this pim.
