hmmm u bot ur jtk at wat price?

i have more than jtk an kmt....

there are so mant jtk in the market now...MUST KNOW WICH ONES TO COLLECT....if not its just waste of money

The JTK u refering is this?

Jatukarm Ramathep is a god associated with wealth, success and happiness. People who wear a Jatukarm talisman believe the deity will help grant their wishes. Jatukarm was an 8th century king.

“He ruled over Nakorn Si Thammarat. When he died, many who worshipped him had their wishes granted. But he was only a secondary deity and not particularly revered.

i dun mean wat type of jtk but which batch and when its was made and wh made it....
in thai jtk is actually stories of a king or 2 bros but some say he is a manisfestation of lord vishnu as well....

I bought mine for less than SGD50.

JTK amulets are mainly made with some powder or metal. The monk can only make JTK on a special day; only on a day with the sun encircled by a halo which looks like this:

The halo is actually caused by ice crystals in thin clouds in the upper atmosphere, the crystals behave like tiny lenses and as they are all similar in shape refract the light at 22 degrees which corresponds to the radius of the sun halo.

Sometimes they painted gold on the JTK or a layer of paint to make it look like ceramic. Some also made with mixed powder, then u can see colourful JTK. Mine is black powdered. The seller told me JTK is a "black" king. He himself also wear black powdered JTK and the powdered ones seem to fetch more value. Some also have charm symbols written on the JTK. There are JTK amulets which cost 2 million baht.

There are also fake JTK selling in Thai and I havn't learn how to differentiate. The seller told me it's not real if there's no smell (powdered ones). I saw some in MBK with a hole underneath the circumfrence of the JTK amulet and I felt the material different so I reckon these may be fake ones. But the retailer would say things like they wouldn't dare to sell fake ones or they will accumulate bad karma.

sorry sad to say you gots yours for less than $50 cos its made of metal....if u ever had the chance to read the book on jtk,all costly(i rather use the word cotly than the word good ones cos i dont condemn pple due to maybe budget restrain or lack of knowledge,even though i may not be knowledgable in certain fields) jtk are made from clay cos of the ingredients needed to mix into the compound and pump out the amulet...but generally amulets of buddha and devas and deities should be made with the elements(earth water wood fire metal)that they are suitable for accordingly

Hi Storm_Pyro, my JTK amulet was not made of metal wor. It's made of a kind of powder, black in color and I dunno wat material was tat.

I know this.. I'm interested in FengShui.. Earth is yellow color (inlcuding all earth tones), Water (Black or blue), Wood (Green or Brown), Fire (Red or Orange) and metal (Gold, Silver or White).

Sorry to side-track this thread... paisei...

Hmmm... kumantong is not bad la... heard that it is thai's fortune god cos they bring in money... xiao gui aka little ghost is bad cos they are taken from foetus of tongues of babies who 夭折... thats what i noe so far la...

If you are interested in 5 elements, you can pm me... I know abit of it as I did quite a bit of extensive research on it... if u interested in fu xi ba gua i oso noe abit haha.... paiseh side track

i am sure wrangersg wont mind us side tracking....sure looks like metal to me cos of the colouring so wat does your amulet smell like?
can u take a photo of the back and let me see?
from wat i know black powdered amulets belongto a certain element but of cos there are those colourful colourful types(but than i may be wrong cos i dont do no reasearch on jtk),as in no fixed number of pieces are made and if its a limited edition u will see the serial number on tha amulet itself

not fnecessary from the tongue but from the whole feotus if possible or else some part of the body will do fine....

I also interested in feng shui stuffs like 5 elements.. read about how each element supports or destroy the other; which material, industry, color represent which element.

Kua Numbers, Ba Zhi, Flying Stars, Mountain/Water Stars, Numerology (Chinese & English), Zi Wei Dou Shu.. all heard b4... but never hear b4 fu xi ba gua.. ba gua i know.. but wat's fu xi?
