LP Daeng's Somdej Kanaen
Apart from standard-sized Somdej amulets, LP Daeng of Wat Kao BanDai-It also made small Somdej sets of three colors--red, black and yellow in the year B.E.2513/2514. LP Daeng's small Somdej are popularly called Somdej Kanaen. They are very rare-to-find items. Very and very few Thai collectors have this amulet set. Comparatively, the LP Daeng's set of Somdej Kanaen are much more harder to find than Somdej Wat Rakang and BangkhunPhrom.  

Somdej Kanaen = a 100th Somdej amulet that was specially created for tally purpose.
