Sacred Craftsmanship

LP Yid's Palakids are old-school classics. In the 1990s, their popularity spread beyond Thailand to Singapore and Malaysia. It seemed that almost everyone had a Palakid on a keychain, whether metal, wood or another material. This Baramee 108 is the mixed-metal version listed from B.E. 2533.

Summary

These pieces were more than fashionable charms. Businesspeople, students and devotees from many walks of life carried them for protection, good fortune and success. The attraction came from the combination of traditional craftsmanship, faith in LP Yid and the community that grew around his work.

Historical Background

LP Yid Chanthasuwanno was associated with Wat Nong Chok, also written Wat Nong Jok, in Kui Buri, Prachuap Khiri Khan. His early training was rooted in Phetchaburi, where he studied at Wat Na Phrom and developed his knowledge of meditation, sacred texts, Sak Yant and traditional healing.

After periods of monastic practice and family responsibility, he returned to the monkhood and helped develop the land that became Wat Nong Chok. His Palakids became some of his most recognisable sacred objects, appreciated by devotees for protection and auspicious blessings. He passed away on 31 July 1995. His reputation continues through the temple, his disciples and the old pieces that collectors still treasure.

Origins of the Materials

The material is Loha Pasom, or mixed metal. The original listing does not give the component metals or their proportions, so I have not added an alloy recipe.

Blessings and Effects

LP Yid's Palakids are traditionally valued for warding off misfortune, protection and auspicious opportunities. Devotees continue to regard them as carriers of his blessings long after their release. These associations reflect traditional beliefs and personal experiences, not guaranteed outcomes.

Modern Application

Collectors who began in the 1990s, many now retired or semi-retired, still keep these pieces with affection. For a newer collector, a classic Palakid offers a connection with that earlier period of Thai amulet culture and LP Yid's enduring legacy.

Personal Notes

Authentic old LP Yid Palakids have become harder to find, while their appeal has endured as newer masters and batches have appeared. My original offer described these as available at 1990s prices, giving a new generation an accessible way to own an old classic. That reference belongs to the original listing; the product's actual selling price remains the price shown separately. To me, sharing these pieces is also a way of keeping his legacy alive.
