LP Ngern Wat Bangklan

Background

Luang Phor Ngern created many amulets during his life , two of which made him very famous indeed, and are instantly recognizable by almost every amulet collector, namely; Roop-lor-loi-ong and Rian-lor Pim Jop.

In particular the Roop-lor-loi-ong (Pim Niyom) amulets have been accepted by most experts as one of the kingdoms most enduring and popular amulets, rating amongst the great pims from Wat Rakhang, and Wat Bangkhunprom.

They are highly respected for the power to protect worshippers from danger whilst also increasing fortune, charm, and success.These amulets now cost well over half million baht upwards and well beyond all but the wealthiest.

What’s more even the most experienced collectors can be easily fooled as the market is flooded with some very high quality fakes.

Luang Phor Ngern passed away on September 20th, B.E 2462, aged 111 years having served the Buddhist faith for 90 years.


What are my options

The average collector may well wish to consider one of the many alternatives created by many other temples and monks. Although most other pims were created posthumously they are believed to be equally sacred.
