Introduction
The Phra Yod Khunphon Pim Yai Nur Wahn, created in BE2504 (1961) by Luang Phor Khan (Lp Khan) of Wat Phra Si An, is a distinguished Thai Buddhist amulet renowned for its powerful protective and auspicious properties. Its sacred composition of over 1,000 rare herbs reflects a unique lineage of herbal alchemy and spiritual artistry.
Historical Background
In BE2504, Luang Phor Khan, the revered abbot of Wat Phra Si An, crafted the Phra Yod Khunphon Pim Yai amulet. The term "Yod Khunphon" recalls the heroic warriors of the Ayutthaya period, symbolizing valor, invincibility, and loyalty—qualities believed to transfer to the bearer. The amulet reflects ancient wicha (sacred knowledge) passed through generations of central Thai masters.
Sacred Material Composition
This Pim Yai is especially notable for its Nur Wahn (herbal composite) base. More than 1,000 sacred herbs were painstakingly gathered by LP Khan and disciples, including:
- Wan Maha Saneh, Wan Dok Tong, Wan Nang Kwak – herbs for wealth and charm.
- Herbs from cremation grounds – believed to hold protective spiritual potency.
- Powder from old amulets, including fragments of Phra Khun Paen and Phra Somdej.
Ritual Creation and Empowerment
- Created under Wicha Yod Khunphon with moon-phase and seasonal calculations.
- Empowerment during lunar eclipse, believed to maximize energy absorption.
- Extended Putthaphisek ceremony with chanting and meditative empowerment.
- Participation of respected monks from nearby provinces.

Legacy of Luang Phor Khan
Luang Phor Khan was highly respected in central Thailand for his strict discipline, meditation, and mastery of herbal knowledge. His amulets are considered rare gems, often passed quietly among serious collectors. Today, original pieces from his personal consecration are increasingly scarce, making them highly prized in the amulet community.
