Dear Friend,

Yes..I am the same one who write the topic about Thailand fastfood leaflet.That because I have many of collectible in my collection vary from the categories to pricing, so that I have a ton of story to tell.

Thailand, if you did not know yet, we are one of the country who produce many of high quality philatelic product.

The stamp collecting activity in my country is very popular, maybe the 3 very big stamp market in only Bangkok can proved my words.

However, Thais have his own collectible style as we have our own fighting way as Muay Thai, etc.

We have a hobby but it is very serious hobby which appeared in Thailand about 100 years or more that is Pra-Kruang collecting or Buddha amulet collecting. Many of amulet aged around more than 100 - 1,000 years.

Because Pra-Kruang is combining both of the Holy and very very rare antique then it is the collectible which many of Thais want to be the owner.(Also, some other countries from South East Asia and others)

According to demand&supply theory many of Buddha amulet forms be up level the pricing to about 15 million bht. or around 365,853 U.S.$ per each for the size about 5.0cm.* 3.0 cm....believed??

At last, the senior hobbyist has form up a set of the most holy and precious amulets to make the top of the top

And he named this set as Benjabhakee.Why this name? Benja means 5 item. Bhakee means together or friends. That is ...

Do not think that to have around 5 - 30 million baht and you can buy this holy amulets set. Because, now..it is very very rare and the most difficult to have one of them for your collection.

However later on, Thaipost company has the project to print together this 5 holy amulets from the set of Benjabhakee in stamp sheet.So that, now we can see the image of the rare and real ones in a Thai stamp sheet name Benjaphakee...

After the day of issued, this stamp sheet became the most wanted of the limited edition. The price in stamp market now is around 30-40 u.s.$ for a Benjabpakee stamp sheet size A4 paper.

For sure I have this stamp sheet a lot in my collection, but I prefer to release out sometime...see detail at my listing above right corner.. Thank you for reading,
Regards,
