PALO
( Kepala ) KAIN @ TAKA TALI LEMBU
Sharing another superb
and very hard to find KHREUNG LANG by late Phra Kru Viriyasangvorn @ Than Kru
Phut @ Phor Than Phut of Wat Pathumviharn @ Wat Balai, Bachok.
PALO KAIN collection 01
This PALO KAIN was
made somewhere in between 1979 – 1990, before Than Kru Phut reached
parinibanna. There were at least 3 batches of Than Kru Phut PALO KAIN. The 1st
batch was made without Janrak coating. The 2nd and 3rd batches were coated with
janrak but according to some sources ONLY the 1st was coated with thick janrak and the
2nd and 3rd batches were also coated but only with thin layer of janrak. That means all batches were coated with janrak. Correct me if i'm wrong ! Than
Kru Phut PALO KAIN expert, help me to shed the light !
PALO KAIN collection 02
According to Kampung
Balai old folks actually there were many batches of this PALO KAIN, some were
coated and some were not. There were three types of this PALO KAIN, Some were
made to be wore / tied at waist ( long and short sizes ), some were made as arm
band ( pha prajiout ) and the remaining were made as wrist band ( for children
n teenagers ).
PALO KAIN collection 03 -Arm Band & Wrist version
In making this PALO
KAIN, late Than Kru Phut sought help from old Bomoh resided in Kampung Balai including
my late guru, Phor Kae Taharp from Beris Kubur Besar. According to Phor Kae
Taharp, Than Kru Phut used clothes from his old bed and pillow sheets, old time
chivorn, yellow cloth used to wrap Buddha statue and white cloth ( newly
bought, especially for the second batch PALO KAIN ). Than Kru Phut, Phor
Mor and his close disciples hand inscribed various YANT / KHATA AKHOM onto the
clothes, some Phor Mor said Than Kru Phut ordered his disciples to inscribe 108
Yants on the clothes. The clothes inscribed with various yant then will be
PLUGSAEG & went through a rigid and complicated PHUTAPISAEG ceremony before
cutting it into small pieces and SPUN it into PALO KAIN.

The spun PALO KAIN
then soaked into janrak extract for several days inside the Ubosot. The prayers
and plugsaeg conducted personally by Than Kru Phut until he satisfied with the
withi made. Phor Kae Taharp said, during the NGIAP ( lonely or mute ) PLUGSAEG
& WITHI, Than Kru Phut selected ( picked up ) one by one the PALO KAIN that
already PEIN ( completed n ready to be used ).
Phor Kae Taharp
added that, during the PHUTAPISAEG, Than Kru Phut personally asked for a try of
SSAENG LAY - K'nese Hokkien dialect ( meat offering - normally pig's head and
pork ect ), BAI SRI ( white cooked rice
offering with salted fish wrapped in banana leaf), KHAO TOG ( popped rice ), and MARK PLUE (
betel leaves ) to be offered to the KHUN KRU, THEWADA and his TARJAI !
There were couple
of miracle stories on Than Kru Phut’s PALO KAIN for the Malay language version of
PALO KAIN miracle, you guys can refer to my earlier post POWE OH POWER the finale . My late brother in
law owned the 1st batch of this PALO KAIN ( waist version ) and used
to wear this PALO KAIN during his service as an army. My brother in law used to
share his superb experienced on PALO KAIN. He said PALO KAIN superb for KHONG
KRAPAN & KHLEW KHAD.
Phor Kae Taharp
added that, Than Kru Phut’s PALO KAIN ( arm band version ) was originally made
for Muay Thai instructor and fighter. Than Kru Phut said that, this arm band is a superb
Kreung Lang for bravery and conquering enemies / opponents. The arm band also
can be used to evade danger.
My personal experienced of wearing this arm band, I do believe this PALO
KAIN ( arm band version ) not only can be used to evade danger but
also will make you invisible before enemy’s eyes and subdue your enemy anger
especially when you are in a great danger ! I still remember vividly the
incident when the parent ( student’s father ) confronted me after the corporal
punishment was carried out to his son. His son accused me to make up a story
and purposely set him up, soon after school his father came to my house with
the intention to SETTLE the case by
SETTLING me – hurt me I guessed !
I saw the father
and his son keep on LOITERING around and passing by my house main gate with
their car for several times. They stop by and asking the neighbour bout my
house where about, they couldn’t locate my house. He phoned me up and asked my
where about. He said he was outside of my house but I wasn’t around, he said he
wanna meet me. I can hear the loud commotion and complaining. I told him that I
just arrived home, I went out to greet him, before stepping out from my house,
I recite the special mon / khata to acitivate the PALO KAIN.
“ Om Hanuman Tua
Ku, Iktikriktik ……………………”
( incomplete verses )
Upon seeing me
coming out from the house, he used his fore finger ( luckily not the middle one
! ) pointed at me …….. pissed off and tried to say something ( swear words I
guess ) but he seem struggled himself to find the suitable words or phrase ! Mr
Lim my neighbour came and stood near to this guy, I went near to him and used
my right hand ( tied with PALO KAIN at that time ) to TAP onto his left shoulder
twice, he looked shock and stunned. Speechless, not even one word uttered ! He
looked at me and seem forgot about every thing ! Miracle power of the Than Kru
Phut’s PALO KAIN / Pha Prajiout ?
Another superb story regarding this PALO KAIN is PALO KAIN can be used as fighting gear ( hand glove ) as we seen in ONG BAK movie, Tony Ja used a rope to tie and bandage his fist before fighting. The rope works as a glove / gear to support and tighten the fist for the better punch. My Malay friend in Bendang Nyior, used to use Than Thit PALO KAIN to tie and tighten his first before joining the Muay Thai competition organised by Kelantan Muay Thai. He said the experienced are unexplainable, he feels the strong and unlimited strength of fist power during the fight. Hahahhahahaha, I should try this !
to be tied like this I guess !!!
Nowadays, PALO KAIN
gained popularity among Kelantan Phra Kreung / Kreung Lang die hard. The
exchanging hand cost / price also extremely high and can cost you up to your
nose. So far, I GUESSED there is no fake / imitate PALO KAIN found / circulating in Kelantan amulet
market as not many people know bout this superb PALO KAIN and there is no or less demand for that's the good thing and the price will remain low and affordable but precaution must
be taken as YOU may be conned ! Instead of renting Than Kru Phut PALO KAIN you
may be ended renting / buying PALO KAIN made by Phor Mor ( Bomoh ), PALO KAIN
made by Than Plein ( the current Wat Balai abbot ) or perhaps with Than Thit
PALO KAIN ( the earlier batch, white cloth ) ! So beware !

KAIN by Than Thit ( 3rd batch )
The are some
PROFESSIONAL MARKERS / DISTINCTIVE DESIGNS between PALO KAIN made by Phra Kru
Phut, Phor Mor and Than Plein. The secrets between these three batches of KAMPUNG
BALAI PALO KAIN couldn’t be discussed openly via my blog. I dun want to make
another mistake by sharing the precious information regarding KREUNG LANG (
Tongkat ) but been misused and twisted by several irresponsible party to gain
money ! These guys USED my name and blog contents to convince the naïve buyer.
Some of them even reproduced the tongkat by using, imitating and inserting the
MATERIAL purposed by me. To cut it short, contact me personally If you guys
need the PALO KAIN information, F.O.C !
