Summary

This first-batch Hanuman Roop Lor brings together the spirited character of Hanuman with the Southern Thai lineage of LP Prom of Wat Phlanuphap, Pattani.

Issued in B.E. 2553, the figure depicts Hanuman in a compact crouching posture, with raised knees, an expressive face and detailed ceremonial ornamentation. The rounded base carries the distinctive 888 marking on its reverse.

Hanuman occupies a meaningful place in Thai devotional culture as an emblem of courage, loyalty, resourcefulness and determined action. For devotees, his image expresses the strength to meet responsibilities with confidence and the intelligence to find a way forward.

This edition connects that familiar symbolism with a period when LP Prom’s sacred objects were becoming increasingly recognised among collectors.

Historical Background

LP Prom, also known as Phor Than Phrom Dhammathiro, was the respected abbot of Wat Phlanuphap in Thung Phla, Khok Pho District, Pattani.

His later monastic life began with his reordination in 1987, followed by more than five years of secluded practice around the cemetery grounds of Wat Huai Ngo. He became known for his meditation, simple conduct and compassionate manner towards people from different walks of life.

His wider reputation grew during 2009–2011, placing this B.E. 2553 Hanuman within an important period of recognition for his amulets.

In the Thai Ramakien tradition, Hanuman is the devoted warrior serving Phra Ram. His character combines strength with ingenuity, courage with loyalty, and determination with the ability to adapt. These qualities underpin the meaning of Hanuman within Thailand’s talismanic traditions.

Blessings and Effects

Within Thai devotional belief, Hanuman amulets are traditionally associated with protection, courage, authority and the ability to progress through obstacles.

The protective aspect is often described through klaew klat: the aspiration to move safely through difficult circumstances. His warrior character also represents confidence, resilience and the presence to carry out demanding responsibilities.

Hanuman’s resourcefulness gives the image another dimension. Devotees value him as a symbol of clear thinking, adaptability and finding constructive ways forward when circumstances require skill as well as strength.

These associations form part of the devotional meaning of Hanuman and the faith placed in the master who blessed the amulet.

Modern Application

This Hanuman is meaningful for those who value courage and composure in their working lives. Its symbolism suits leadership, negotiation and roles that require decisive action together with an understanding of people and changing situations.

For business owners and professionals, the image can serve as a devotional reminder to act with confidence, remain adaptable and honour one’s commitments.

Collectors of LP Prom’s work may also appreciate its place among his early recognised releases. The first-batch identity, expressive sculpting and marked base give the piece a distinctive presence within a Southern Thai amulet collection.

Physical Details

Hanuman is depicted in a crouching posture, with both hands resting over the raised knees. The front shows an open mouth, prominent facial features, a pointed headdress and layered decorative details across the upper body.

The reverse carries crossed bands, a patterned lower garment and a curved tail above the rounded base. The 888 marking appears on the back of the base.

The clear casing allows the three-dimensional figure and its reverse details to remain visible.
