The first Pim has two small Sacred Yant on the rear side, (Luang Por's traditional Pu-Sorn Yantra), and the second Pim bearing the sitting image of Luang Por Pae on the rear face.

Luang Por Pae 1000 (2510 BE), 2000 (2511 BE), The first three Batches of 3000, and all of the 4000 are the most highly valued and sought after (and rarest) of all the different series,, because these were the editions which made the least numbers of amulets, increasing their rarity.

There were also smaller 'Pim Kanaen' models in each edition, which had also usually two different styles of miniature Somdej amulet released; One with a full frontal image of Luang por Pae on the back, and the second tier of the Buddha's dais having a 'Thaan Singh' (lion legs).

The other model has a design similar to the Thai number eight on the rear face, and no lion legs (tabvle legs) on the Dais/Pedestal of the Buddha. Neither miniature 'Pim Kanaen' model had any lettering statiung the edition. A Total of Nine Pae Pan++ editions were made.

The back face of the amulet has the traditional name of 'Pae' (แพ) embossed, with the number three (๓), and the word 'Pan'(พัน), meaning 'thousand', which authenticates, and ensures a highly regarded example of status.

The amulets of this great master, have been seen to dwindle from the public amulet markets, which is due to the fact that not only Thai people have been reverie and holding his Amulets over the last decade or so up, rather that all around Southeast Asia. Even as far as western world, people have been snapping up and hiding and stashing away his Amulets like treasure that may never be found again, which is indeed now already happening.

They are now not only becoming classics but also extreme rarities and the next decade can expect to see these Amulets becoming immensely difficult to seek out.
