This amulet is released from Wat Bot temple, at Pathum Thani, Phitsanulok Province. This is situated in Tambon Ban Klang on the east side of the Chao Phraya River. Wat Bot was constructed in 1621 by the Mon ethnic minority group, whose members had recently migrated from Pegu or Hongsawadi town. The name of the temple was borrowed from the Mon people’s former home, similar to many other temples in Pathum Thani such as Wat Hong, and Wat Bang Tanai. Locals nowadays travel to pay their respect to three Buddha images in the shrine hall and the cast statue of LuangpuThian (PhrakhruBowonthammakit), a highly knowledgeable senior monk who was also an advocate for education.

Inside one of the temple, halls are an ancient Mons-style Buddha image as well as a sword named PhraSaengAyasit, believed to hold great power. The giant statue of Phra Buddhachan Toh Phromarangsi (Somdej Toh) also known as Archan Toh, and various other spellings. Somdej Toh was born in 1788 (B.E. 2331) and died in 1872 (B.E. 2415). He is a revered Buddhist monk who lived in Thailand. He is said to have performed miracles. The status based on the temple compound, for the time being, is the biggest Somdej Toh statue around the world. Somdej Toh was one of the most famous Buddhist monks during Thailand Rattanakosin Period and continues to be the most widely known monk in Thailand. He is widely revered in Thailand as a monk who is said that he possessed magical powers and his amulets are widely sought. He was ordained as a novice at the age of 12 (1800 (B.E. 2343)

Later he moved to Wat Rakang to further his studies of topics in Buddhist philosophies. Archan Toh is addressed among all devotees, he was named "Toh" before his monkhood and then "Phromarangsi" as his ordination-name. Archan Toh studied the Buddhist scriptures of the Pāli Canon with several Buddhist masters at Jao Khun Arunyik Institute at an early age in Wat Intharawihan, Bangkok. After becoming a well-known monk, he became the preceptor for Prince Mongkut, when Prince Mongkut became a monk and later he became the King of Rama IV. During Rama IV's reign, Archan Toh was given the ceremonial name Somdej Phra Buddhacarya by the King and used to be one of his trusted advisers.
