Pra Somdej Kru Khun Intapramul amulets, apart from their age, are very interesting indeed as any serious collector will attest. They are remarkably similar to amulets created by Somdej Buddhachan Toh, Wat Rakhang, both in design and composition.

All ancient amulets, which are called “Pra Somdej ”,  will have been created by senior monks who were at the very least appointed by Somdej Toh , for example Somdej Pra Buddhacharn Tor, Somdej Pra Sungkarachjao Sook Gaitern.

What is known for sure is that Somdej Buddhacharn Toh had visited this temple on a number of occasions to pay homage to the reclining Buddha. It is believed by most experts that at the very least he would have supported the creation of these amulets if not created by himself.

Many people firmly believe that he did create these amulets and further more many competitions permit these amulets in the Somdej Toh class.

There are seven classes of pim, some of which are quite difficult to distinguish to the untrained eye. Ther first four pims were discovered at an earler date than the last three, which as a consequence fetch much higher prices as they are considerably rarer.

1.Pim Pra Bhatarn (Chairman Buddha Image style)

2.Pim Yai (Large size)

3.Pim Song Chedi (Chedi-shape)

4.Pim Lek or Pim Kanaen (small size)

5.Pim Jet Chan Ok Rong Hu Baisri (Extremely rare)

6. Pim Yai (Jumbo) (Extremely rare)

7. Pim Kaiser (Extremely rare)

Pim Yai



Pim Song Chedi


Pim Jet Chan Hu Baisri (Very Rare)


Pim Lek (Kanaen)

Pim Lek or Pim Kanaen has quite a unique design, the style is known as “Silpa Noon Tum”, used later by many famous monks during the period B.E.2460 -B.E.2480, for example  Luang Poo Iam of Wat Nung and Luang Poo Sook of Wat Makhamtao.

Note: Pim Jet Chan, Pim Kaiser, Pim Yai (jumbo) were discovered in very limited numbers and is by far the rarest and the most expensive of all the pims. Pim Lek is also considered rare and prices equal if not exceed those of the larger pims
