The Takrud of Luang Pho Niam is revered for its spiritual power, offering protection, invulnerability, and safeguarding its owner from harm.

6. Luang Pu Chai (Jai), Wat Sadet, Samut Songkhram Province

(Estimated Price: 700,000 – 1.5 Million Baht)

This Takrud is relatively large because Luang Pu Chai of Wat Sadet resided near the mouth of the Tha Chin River, where it meets the sea. Most of his disciples were fishermen. He created these large Takruds for ship captains or crew members to hang on the ship’s mast to protect them from dangers at sea, including storms and pirates.

7. Luang Pu Sook (LP Suk) Kesaro, Wat Pak Khlong Makham Thao, Chai Nat Province

(Estimated Price: 100,000 – 200,000 Baht)

Luang Pu Suk of Wat Pak Khlong Makham Thao (Phra Kru Wimonkunakorn) was widely renowned for his exceptional mystical knowledge and was the mentor of Prince Abhakara Kiartivongse, Prince of Chumphon. His Takrud was made of lead and wrapped in sacred rope, with a unique pattern known as “Crocodile Biting Teeth.” It is highly valued for its spiritual power, providing charm, protection from harm, and invulnerability, making it a sought-after item among collectors.

8. Luang Pu Nak, Wat Arun Ratchawararam – Takrud Tiger Forehead Skin

(Estimated Price: 500,000 – 1 Million Baht)

This sacred object originates from a natural source—tiger forehead skin, believed to possess immense mystical power. The skin was scraped thin using a stone, inscribed with sacred scripts, rolled, and tied in three layers. This Takrud is particularly known for bestowing great authority and is ideal for those in leadership positions with subordinates.

9. Luang Pho Thob (Thop) Thammapanyo, Wat Chon Dan (Chon Daen), Phetchabun Province

(Estimated Price: 50,000 – 100,000 Baht)

The “National Flag Takrud” is a signature creation of Luang Pho Thop Wat Chon Dan. He crafted it by rolling together copper and lead sheets, wrapping them in rope, and dipping them in traditional dyes to match the colors of the Thai national flag. He made these Takruds for soldiers, as Phetchabun Province was once a hotspot for communist insurgents and guerrilla fighters. It is said that soldiers who carried this Takrud were shot at but remained unharmed, gaining it a legendary reputation for protection, invulnerability, and bulletproof powers.

10. Phra Ajahn Nong (LP Nong Thammaputo), Wat Sai Khao, Pattani Province – Takrud Narai Plaeng Rup (Narayana Shape-Shifting)

(Estimated Price: 50,000 – 80,000 Baht)

A thin sheet of gold is rolled into a cylindrical form to encase it, and sacred Yant inscriptions are applied. Those who possess this Takrud must strictly adhere to one rule—never separate its layers, as doing so will cause its spiritual power to diminish. Those who invoke its blessings are believed to be able to avoid misfortunes and turn bad situations into good ones.
