Phra Phong Chan Loi Nur Phong BE2460 – Wat Khu Salot, Consecrated by Luang Phor Parn (Lp Parn) Wat Bang Nom Kho
The Phra Phong Chan Loi Nur Phong BE2460 is a rare and highly revered batch of amulets created at Wat Khu Salot around BE2460 (1922). They were consecrated under the guidance of the great Luang Phor Parn (2418–2480 BE) of Wat Bang Nom Kho, one of the most renowned monks in Thai history. These amulets are cherished for their sacred composition, unique floating moon (Chan Loi) style, and powerful blessings.

Historical Background
In BE2460, Phra Ajahn Phong, a close disciple of Luang Phor Parn, created this batch of amulets to raise funds for the restoration of Wat Khu Salot in Sena District, Ayutthaya. The temple had fallen into disrepair, and the amulets helped finance renovations while continuing the sacred lineage of Luang Phor Parn.
Materials and Unique Composition
The amulets were crafted from Phong Namon (oil-based sacred powder). Key components included:
- Sacred powders collected by Phra Ajahn Phong
- Remnants of powders from Luang Phor Parn’s six-animal amulet series
- Oils blended for durability, fragrance, and smooth texture
Surviving specimens display hues of yellow-green, brownish, or whitish, depending on age and preservation. Collectors often refer to them as Phong Namon (oil-powder) amulets.
Amulet Types and Molds
This batch was inspired by Luang Phor Parn’s six-animal amulets. The Wat Khu Salot collection featured:
- Chicken
- Hanuman
- Garuda
- Porcupine
- Fish
- Bird
Additionally, two new molds were introduced:
- Phra Phong Chan Loi (Floating Moon style)
- Phra Somdej-shaped amulet
Consecration Ceremony
The blessing ceremony at Wat Khu Salot was led by Luang Phor Parn and involved:
- Chanting of sacred mantras and invocations
- Buddha Abhiseka rituals for spiritual empowerment
- Infusion of metta mahaniyom (charm), khlang klaad (evasion of danger), and prosperity blessings
Use and Enshrinement
The amulets were distributed to devotees in exchange for donations, which funded temple repairs. Remaining pieces were enshrined inside the main chedi of Wat Khu Salot. Years later, thieves broke into the chedi and stole many amulets. Only a small number survived, making them rare and valuable today.
Spiritual Beliefs
- Metta Mahaniyom – charm, kindness, and popularity
- Khlang Klaad – evasion from danger and misfortune
- Spiritual energy aligned with Luang Phor Parn’s six-animal series
Legacy and Authentication
Though less known than the original six-animal amulets, the Phra Phong Chan Loi BE2460 has gained recognition among collectors. Many surviving examples carry Thaprachan certification, ensuring provenance and authenticity. Specimens with “tofu-foam” surface aging are especially prized.
