What is the Phra Khun Paen Roon 2 BE2545 by Chao Khun Udom (CK Udom) Wat Tham Wattana Mongkol?
The Phra Khun Paen Chao Khun Udom (CK Udom) Wat Tham Wattana Mongkol is the second batch (run song) pressed in BE 2545 under the direct supervision of CK Udom, abbot of Wat Tham Wattana Mongkol in Lopburi Province. The nuea (material/substance) combines multiple phong (sacred powder) types — including Phong Phutthakhun, Phong Itthi Jit, Phong Wan 108, Phong Prai, flower pollen, incense ash, and sacred soil — bound with oils into a solid pressed form.
The second batch and why it was made
The first run out of Wat Tham Wattana Mongkol had already built a following before the Roon 2 (second batch) was produced. CK Udom authorised this edition specifically to support ongoing temple development and to make the amulet accessible to a wider group of devotees who had missed the first release. That practical purpose — temple funding alongside spiritual intent — is a pattern collectors recognise in pieces that hold their following over time.
What sets this batch apart from a collector’s standpoint is the documented addition: extra rope cord, hand-written yant (sacred inscription) applied directly to the piece, and three rounds of individual blessing by CK Udom himself. That level of post-press attention is not standard across every temple edition and is worth registering when comparing examples.
Chao Khun Udom (CK Udom) Wat Tham Wattana Mongkol held the title of Chao Khun, a senior ecclesiastical rank in the Thai Sangha. His reputation rested on deep meditative practice and a strong grounding in wicha (esoteric knowledge), both of which fed directly into how he approached the making and blessing of his amulets. He was not a monk who simply presided over a ceremony — he was actively involved at each stage of the process.
Nuea, pim, and how the consecration was conducted
The muan sarn (sacred powder blend) in this piece draws on several distinct phong traditions. Phong Phutthakhun carries accumulated merit from Buddhist practice; Phong Itthi Jit is associated with metta (loving-kindness) and personal magnetism; Phong Wan 108 incorporates 108 sacred herbs. Phong Prai — derived from ceremonial ashes or bone — adds a layer associated in Thai Buddhist tradition with spiritual communication and protection. Flower pollen and incense ash from prior consecration ceremonies, plus sacred soil from significant Buddhist sites, round out the blend.
These powders were combined with natural binders and oils, then pressed into a medium wearable pim (mould). The front carries the traditional Phra Khun Paen figure, seated, with yant designs surrounding him — some variants include Bai Sri or Garuda wing motifs. The reverse features Yant Trinisinghe or Puttakhun script; certain examples were embedded with takrut (rolled metal scroll), gemstones, or hair relics from CK Udom himself. Select pieces were cased in gold or brass for specific devotees.
The pluk sek (consecration ceremony) took place at Wat Tham Wattana Mongkol on an auspicious date chosen to align with the intended purposes of the batch. CK Udom led the ceremony, with senior monks and meditation masters from central and northern Thailand participating. The chanting covered high-level scripture including the Itipiso and Katha Khun Paen, conducted over multiple rounds. This is broadly consistent with the Thai Buddhist amulet tradition of multi-session consecration to accumulate potency across the muan sarn.
What a collector looks for in this piece
This edition draws interest from collectors who focus on Lopburi-lineage Phra Khun Paen pieces and from those who follow CK Udom’s output specifically. The Roon 2 is a limited-production batch; demand has been noted among collectors in central Thailand and among those sourcing from overseas, including Singapore and Malaysia.
When authenticating, pay attention to:
- The hand-written yant on the amulet body — line quality and ink type are consistent across genuine examples from this batch
- The additional rope cord wrapping, which is documented as part of the Roon 2 specification
- The reverse yant script and any embedded takrut — placement and finish vary by variant but should align with known reference pieces
- Nuea texture and colour — the multi-phong blend has a characteristic density and aged finish that differs from later or lower-grade powders
No certificate (bai rap rong) is documented for this edition. Buyers relying on paper certification should factor that in; authentication here rests on physical characteristics matched against known Roon 2 examples and provenance tracking.
We at TAC are offering this Phra Khun Paen Roon 2 BE2545 from CK Udom's Wat Tham Wattana Mongkol — a batch distinguished by its post-press hand-written yant, added rope cord, and documented triple individual blessing, details that set it apart from standard temple pressings of the period. Collectors focused on Lopburi-lineage Phra Khun Paen or on CK Udom's output will find the Roon 2 a more specific reference point than the more common first-batch examples that circulate in the market.
Attributes reflect Thai Buddhist devotional tradition and are not measurable claims.
