This amulet of Archan Nong image was released by Wat Sai Khao temple, located in Pattani Province. Wat Sai Khao temple was built in 1757 (B.E. 2300) by the most valuable donations among Buddhist devotees from near and far. In its earliest days, Wat Sai Khao temple was just an ordinary Buddhist temple to serve the local villagers' religious and spiritual needs. To develop the qualities of Metta (Loving Kindness), Karuna (Compassion), Mudita (Sympathetic), and Upekkha (Equanimity). 

Under Archan Nong's supervision, Wat Sai Khao temple became popular in Southern Thailand. Moreover, he organized and conducted Buddhist events by raising funds to maintain and renovate the existing Uposatha Hall, Monk's residences, and the whole temple compound to benefit the public. Archan Nong had his primary education at Na Pradu School and was ordained as a novice at 19 at Wat Na Pradu. Unfortunately, he disrobed as a novice within a few weeks to help on his family's farm. 

When he reached 21, he was again ordained as a monk in 1939 at Wat Na Pradu under Phra Kru Phiboon Samanawat preceptor-ship and was given the title of Phra Dhamma Bhutto. Archan Nong was appointed chief abbot of Wat Sai Khao temple in 1968 and passed away on 11 September 1999 (BE2542) at 80. Archan Nong is famous for making Luang Phor Tuad (LP Tuad) amulets, of which he has created over 40 different editions. He is a Great Gaeji Master or Magical Lineage in Southern Thailand.

People knew that the amulets of Archan Nong were incredibly hard to believe as to what was being said as he was still alive. Most of his charms were empowered with holiness. Because of his power of meditation and prayer, his LP Tuad amulet is reputed to be the most popular amulet among Buddhist collectors. The Black copper of his charms was created in 2002 as a memorial of Archan Nong sitting on the Narai Roop Takrut, making for the cremation ceremony of Archan Nong on Monday, 20 May 2002. 

This batch of amulets is consecrated and considered the last memorial for Archan Nong of Wat Sai Khao temple.
