Historical Significance
Issued in BE2529 (1986 CE) under the lay-master Ajarn Pleang Bunyuen in Surin, this edition reflects an assertive protective current within the Khun Phaen lineage. Consecrated through Putthapisek (ritual empowerment), it was intended for strong warding and presence—aligning Khmer-influenced wicha (esoteric method) with Thai-Buddhist devotional practice.

Side/detail — crisp edges and compact grain; hand-press character visible on shoulders and arch.
Contextual Insight: The “Subyot Man” (subduing the devil) iconography is a Khmer-style protective motif adapted into the Khun Phaen corpus. Ajarn Pleang’s rites drew on cemetery-grounded wicha for counter-sorcery while preserving Khun Phaen’s core attributes of metta (amiability) and udom sap (opportunity).
Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Surin’s regional craft often blends Thai-Buddhist devotion with Khmer Brahmanic and animist strands. Ajarn Pleang emphasized disciplined chanting cycles and timing rites to observance days (wan phra) for potency, resulting in amulets with firm protective “presence” and clean silhouettes.

Spiritual Function & Doctrinal Purpose
According to Thai Buddhist belief, this amulet supports Klaew Klaad (evasion of danger), Metta Mahaniyom (charisma/rapport), and authoritative presence for negotiations or field work. The “subduing” motif is traditionally worn to counter hostile intent and unsettled spaces.
Rarity & Collector Significance
Assessed as collector-grade within late-20th-century protective Khun Phaen lines. Collectors look for clear demon-subduing obverse, mature powder stratification, and Surin provenance; authenticated examples are occasionally referenced in major marketplaces and competitions.
