The Khun Phaen Amulet has long been famous as an amulet associated with loving-kindness and popularity. It is believed to enhance personal charm, earn affection from people around the wearer, gain kindness from elders, and attract admiration from the opposite sex. According to its history, the earliest Khun Phaen amulets were discovered at Wat Ban Krang in Suphan Buri Province. The amulet has a pentagonal shape and depicts the Buddha in the Mara-Vijaya posture seated within a radiant arch. Since then, many different editions have been created. Among amulet collectors, the Khun Phaen Amulet is regarded as one of the most desirable amulets to keep and worship.

Na Na Thong can be performed by chanting a sacred incantation while applying gold leaf to the face, or it can be carried as a sacred amulet. It is well known for enhancing one’s fortune, merit, auspiciousness, loving-kindness, charm, prosperity, and good luck. It is believed that those who receive the Na Na Thong blessing may become more loved and appreciated by others. Those whose businesses have not been successful may see better profits and smoother progress. People also believe that good things will come into their lives and that misfortune can turn into good fortune.
Golden-Tongued Sarika Amulet
The Golden-Tongued Sarika Amulet is one of the best-known amulets associated with loving-kindness and popularity. It is especially renowned for enhancing communication and negotiation skills. The amulet is believed to increase personal charm, attract kindness from others, and bring good fortune. It is particularly popular among business owners, merchants, salespeople, and anyone whose work involves meeting and talking with people.

Royal Kham Luang Bumblebee Amulet
The Royal Kham Luang Bumblebee Amulet is another well-known Lanna amulet associated with charm and loving-kindness, and its belief has gradually spread throughout Thailand. It is believed that carrying this amulet can enhance good fortune, loving-kindness, and popularity. People also believe that it helps improve business, while protecting the wearer from negative energy. Originally, the Royal Kham Luang Bumblebee Amulet was carved from the hub of an ancient ox cart wheel made of red padauk wood. According to traditional belief, the wheel hub represents continuous forward movement, symbolizing steady progress in life for the person who worships the amulet. In the past, only artisans of royal lineage were permitted to carve the Royal Kham Luang Bumblebee Amulet, and the carving could only be done on an auspicious date. Because of these strict traditional methods and its respected reputation, the amulet remains popular today. Modern versions have also been created that can be worn as jewelry. Among them, the Royal Kham Luang Bumblebee Amulet created by Kruba Kritsana is widely regarded as one of the finest Lanna amulets.
Thep Chamlaeng Phamon Amulet
The Thep Chamlaeng Phamon Amulet is popular among both Thai people and devotees across Southeast Asia. It is believed to bring blessings in love, loving-kindness, and business prosperity. The amulet was created by Kruba Kritsana Indhavanno of Weluwan Monastic Residence. Its design resembles a butterfly with outstretched wings. Upon closer inspection, the faces of Shiva and Uma Devi can be seen facing one another, surrounded by an ancient script known as Devanagari. It is believed to enhance love, personal charm, loving-kindness, attract the kindness of elders, and bring wealth, good fortune, and prosperity.
Phitsamorn Roi Mai Takrut
The Phitsamorn Roi Mai Takrut, created by Luang Pu Ruay Acharo of Wat Khlong Khanon, is inscribed with sacred yantras representing loving-kindness, popularity, and charm. The takrut is blessed by invoking the virtues of the Buddha, the Dhamma, the Sangha, sacred spiritual power, and divine blessings. It is believed to bring success in love and inspire kindness and affection from everyone who meets the wearer, both men and women.
Sacred Beeswax Balm
This type of sacred amulet is easy to find. Today, many temples consecrate and distribute it to the public. Most people are familiar with Sacred Beeswax Balm in a small container for applying to the lips, but today it is also made in the form of a Takrut. It is believed that Sacred Beeswax Balm consecrated with chants for loving-kindness and charm according to traditional ritual practices possesses outstanding power in enhancing personal charm. According to traditional belief, if the beeswax is to be especially effective in attracting the opposite sex, it must be made from the wax of a wild beehive and then consecrated through ritual ceremonies conducted in a Buddhist ordination hall or a cemetery for nine days and nine nights, including both the full moon night and the new moon night. Only then is it believed to become genuine Sacred Beeswax Balm with exceptional power for loving-kindness and charm.
In Khu and Ngang Amulets
In Khu and Ngang are traditional amulets that are well known for their association with loving-kindness and popularity. It is believed that couples who carry these amulets will enjoy a smoother and stronger relationship, while single people may enhance their charm and become more loved by others. In Khu is usually made in the form of a man and a woman embracing each other while standing or sitting. It has long been popular in Northern, Northeastern, and Central Thailand, and today it is widely respected throughout the country. Many renowned monks as well as lay practitioners skilled in sacred arts have created these amulets. Ngang, on the other hand, is an amulet influenced by Cambodian tradition. Its appearance is similar to the Phra Ruek and Phra Chai images from the Ayutthaya period. It is especially believed to provide protection and invulnerability, while also being respected for its power in bringing loving-kindness and popularity.
These are some of the sacred amulets believed to enhance loving-kindness, charm, and popularity. If you’ve been unlucky in love, you might want to try carrying one with you—you may be pleasantly surprised. However, some amulets are traditionally believed to work best when the wearer also observes moral precepts and lives a virtuous life, allowing the merits of good conduct to support their blessings.
