Wat Pa Si Khunaram Announces Commemorative Amulets for Upcoming Kathin Ceremony

Wat Pa Si Khunaram, located in Ban Chit, Ku Kaeo District, Udon Thani, has announced the creation of a commemorative coin series to celebrate its upcoming Kathin Samakkhi ceremony. According to a report by Khaosod Online, the 'Luang Pho Prachak-Luang Pho Bunsin 1st Edition' coins are being produced at the request of the disciples of Phra Achan Prachak Phuripanyo and followers of Luang Pho Bunsin Chotipanyo.

The coins are intended to serve as sacred mementos for those participating in the merit-making event. Donors who contribute 1,000 baht to the Kathin fund will receive a copper coin measuring approximately 2.5 by 3.5 centimeters. The front of the oval-shaped coin features a half-portrait of Luang Pho Prachak, surrounded by traditional Thai Kanok patterns and inscriptions detailing the ceremony. The reverse side displays sacred Yantra characters and the mantra 'Chaiya Chaiya Namo Buddhaya,' along with the date and location of the event.

For travelers and residents interested in Thai Buddhist culture, this event offers a glimpse into the local traditions surrounding temple merit-making and the significance of amulets in regional spiritual life. The ceremony is scheduled for November 1, 2026. While the temple has outlined the donation structure for receiving the coins, those planning to attend should confirm specific event logistics and availability directly with the temple closer to the date.
