Lp Derm Wat Nong Po

The Plew Thian Coin (Candle Flame Coin) of Luang Phor Derm of Wat Nong Pho stands among Thailand’s most respected sacred amulets. The name “Plew Thian,” meaning Candle Flame, refers to the radiating lines or flame-like aura extending from the top of Luang Phor Derm’s head — a symbol of enlightenment, divine power, and spiritual radiance.

Historical Background

Luang Phor Derm Phuttasaro, also known as Phra Kru Niwas Thammakhun, was revered throughout Nakhon Sawan and beyond for his immense baramee and mastery of protection magic. He was affectionately called the “Deity of Nakhon Sawan.” Among his many creations, the Plew Thian coins became signature representations of his spiritual energy. The earliest batches, made around B.E. 2485, were blessed during a time of war, when morale and national strength required spiritual reinforcement.

Blessings and Powers

Each Plew Thian coin carries Luang Phor Derm’s hallmark spiritual effects —

• Metta Maha Niyom: Enhancing charm, respect, and goodwill in personal and business relationships.

• Kongkrapan Chatri: Providing invulnerability and protection from harm.

• Klaew Klaad: Shielding against accidents, danger, and misfortune.

• Chok Larp: Supporting prosperity, smooth ventures, and financial success.

• Protection from Dark Forces: Guarding the wearer from black magic and negative spiritual influences.

Personal Reflection and Use

This year, I took out many of my older collections for reflection. Among them, my Luang Phor Derm Roop Lor remains one of my most treasured pieces — a companion through years of entrepreneurship, guiding me as I built multiple successful businesses. Yet, as age sets in, I find myself preferring lighter pieces.

By chance, I came across this Plew Thian coin from a Thai collector friend who also wears Luang Phor Derm daily. His coin was small, modest, yet spiritually commanding. I began noticing that many seasoned Thai dealers wear similar unassuming pieces. When asked why they no longer display their larger or more prestigious ones, their answer was simple — “Age is catching up. We no longer need to prove anything; we just need the effect.”

Their words resonated deeply. I too have reached a point where prestige matters less than function. Thus, I obtained this coin and wore it throughout 2025. The blessings of Luang Phor Derm remain unmatched. During this period, I encountered many accomplished masters, including Bobo Aung, whose teachings and blessings helped elevate my business yet another measurable level — not by feeling, but by actual increase in revenue.

Conclusion

The Plew Thian Coin of Luang Phor Derm represents a balance between power and humility — compact, accessible, yet spiritually formidable. It is a piece that continues to deliver real-world impact for those who value substance over show. For collectors and practitioners alike, it remains one of the most potent and meaningful amulets ever created under the lineage of Luang Phor Derm.
