Because each stage was prepared and completed by hand, natural variations in carving, lacquer, gold application, Tid Jai coating and wire placement make every artifact unique.

Personal Experiences Shared by Luksits

Artifacts of this type are traditionally sought by people who place particular emphasis upon personal attraction, social magnetism and being remembered favourably by others.

Phaya Khao Kham already carries a strong Lanna reputation for Metta, Maha Saneh and personal charisma. In this example, Por Sala Tan strengthened that character further through the use of Tid Jai.

Users of similar pieces often describe becoming more confident in social situations, receiving more attention, finding conversation easier and noticing that people appear more willing to remain engaged with them.

For those involved in sales, customer-facing work or networking, the same qualities are often interpreted through a business context: clients remembering them, conversations lasting longer and relationships developing more naturally.

The intended character of the piece is therefore not simply romantic attraction. It extends into rapport, personal presence, customer relationships and social influence.

Summary

This Phra Phaya Khao Kham was created by Por Sala Tan from an old piece of Graduk Chang Graden given to him by a travelling practitioner who had journeyed through Cambodia in search of higher occult knowledge.

During that journey, the practitioner was directed to travel north and seek out Por Sala Tan for further study.

As a gesture of respect, he presented Por Sala Tan with the old Graduk Chang Graden.

Por Sala Tan later divided and carved the material into several distinctive sacred artifacts, including this Phaya Khao Kham.

The carving was treated with red lacquer mixed with Burmese wax, gold foil and Tid Jai, then secured with wire and a takrut.

Its traditional emphasis centres upon Maha Saneh, Metta Maha Niyom, charisma, attraction, favourable speech, customer relationships and prosperity through personal influence.

Historical Background

Phaya Khao Kham (พญาเขาคำ) belongs to northern Thai and Lanna charm traditions, with influence often connected to Tai Yai or Shan oral culture.

He is sometimes described as the “Khun Phaen of Lanna” because of his close association with personal magnetism, romantic charm, prosperity and popularity.

One commonly related legend tells of a ruler who prayed for an heir and was eventually blessed with a remarkable prince.

The prince was said to possess golden horns, which became the defining symbol of the tradition.

As he matured, he became known for his good looks, confidence, wealth and unusual ability to attract admirers.

The golden horn came to represent visible merit, dignity, prosperity, authority and exceptional personal magnetism.

In modern amulet culture, Phaya Khao Kham therefore became strongly associated with those seeking Metta, Maha Saneh, favourable speech, business rapport and social influence.

Origins of the Materials

The foundation of this artifact is an old piece of Graduk Chang Graden.

According to the provenance surrounding the piece, the material came from a wandering practitioner who had travelled to Cambodia in search of higher occult knowledge.

During the course of that journey, he was advised to continue north and seek out Por Sala Tan for further learning.

When he eventually met Por Sala Tan, he presented the old Graduk Chang Graden to him as a sign of respect.

Por Sala Tan retained the material and later used it to carve several unusual artifacts for devotees.

For this example, the carved image was finished with red lacquer mixed with Burmese wax, then highlighted with gold foil.

The completed piece was subsequently treated extensively with Tid Jai, strengthening its attraction-oriented character.

A takrut was then added and secured through the wire binding around the artifact.

---

Ritual

The ritual construction began with the selection and carving of the Graduk Chang Graden.

Por Sala Tan shaped the material into the distinctive form of Phaya Khao Kham, including the horned head and surrounding figures characteristic of the attraction symbolism associated with the deity.

The carving was then finished with red lacquer and Burmese wax, giving the surface a deep ritual tone.

Gold foil was applied over the raised details.

The completed image was later soaked and smeared with Tid Jai, allowing the attraction material to penetrate and coat the artifact rather than being used only as a superficial addition.

Wire was then tied around the figure and connected with a takrut, completing the ritual structure.

The result combines Phaya Khao Kham symbolism, old relic material, Burmese-influenced finishing, Tid Jai and written wicha within one compact piece.

Blessings and Effects

The strongest traditional emphasis of this artifact is Maha Saneh and Metta Maha Niyom.

Phaya Khao Kham is traditionally associated with charisma, confidence and attraction, while Tid Jai strengthens the idea of remaining in another person's thoughts and being remembered positively.

In social situations, this may be approached for easier introductions, warmer reception and greater confidence when speaking with others.

For business use, the same qualities may support customer retention, smoother negotiations, stronger rapport and repeat attention.

Its traditional purposes therefore include:

• Maha Saneh and attraction
• Metta Maha Niyom
• Social confidence and favourable attention
• Persuasive and pleasant speech
• Customer rapport and repeat business
• Greater personal presence
• Prosperity through relationships and opportunity
• Baramee and social influence

The Tid Jai aspect is best understood as strengthening attachment, recall and emotional interest, rather than overriding another person's judgement or consent.

Modern Application

This Phaya Khao Kham is particularly suitable for people whose success depends heavily upon personal presentation and human interaction.

Salespeople, entrepreneurs, service professionals, performers and those working in hospitality or nightlife may find the traditional symbolism especially relevant.

It may be carried before important meetings, negotiations, interviews or social events where confidence and personal presence matter.

For relationship purposes, the healthiest interpretation is to use the artifact as a reminder to develop warmth, reliability, confidence and good communication, rather than attempting to control another person's emotions.

For business, the same principle applies.

Being remembered positively, treated warmly and trusted by clients can often matter as much as the product or service itself.

Physical Details

The artifact is a three-dimensional Phaya Khao Kham carving made from old Graduk Chang Graden.

The front presents the horned central figure with smaller accompanying forms surrounding him, reinforcing the traditional imagery of popularity and attraction.

The surface has been finished in red lacquer mixed with Burmese wax, with gold foil applied across the raised details.

The piece was further treated with Tid Jai, giving the surface a darker, aged ritual character beneath the gold.

A length of wire is tied around the body of the artifact and connected to a takrut, integrating the written wicha directly into the construction.

The reverse continues the carved three-dimensional form and preserves the same red, gold and darkened surface character.

The example shown is protected within a fitted casing for preservation and everyday wear.

Recommended Pairing

Phaya Khao Kham can comfortably be carried alone when the principal intention is Metta, Saneh, confidence and attraction.

For business use, it pairs naturally with a wealth-oriented artifact, allowing Phaya Khao Kham to concentrate upon customer relationships, personal influence and favourable interaction, while the accompanying artifact supports financial movement.

For those who work late hours or in crowded social environments, it may also be balanced with a protective artifact such as Tao Wessuwan.

Personal Notes

What makes this particular Phaya Khao Kham especially interesting is the origin of the Graduk Chang Graden.

It was not material Por Sala Tan simply acquired.

The piece was brought to him by a wandering practitioner who had travelled to Cambodia in search of deeper occult knowledge.

During that journey, the practitioner was directed to travel north and seek Por Sala Tan for further study.

When they eventually met, he offered the old Graduk Chang Graden to Por Sala Tan as a gesture of respect for his wicha.

Por Sala Tan later transformed the material into several individual sacred artifacts rather than using it as one ordinary production material.

This Phaya Khao Kham was then strengthened further through Burmese wax, red lacquer, gold foil, Tid Jai and a takrut.

For me, that gives the piece its strongest character:

the relic represents respect between practitioners, while the Phaya Khao Kham form and Tid Jai treatment turn that material towards attraction, rapport and personal magnetism.
