This amulet of Luang Phor Tuad (LP Tuad), is released by Wat Chang Hai temple, located in Pattani Province. The legend of a high priest, Luang Phor Tuad (LP Tuad) or Somdej Phako was originated from the Kingdom of Ayutthaya period (it was Thailand capital that existed from 1350 to 1767) There is no documentary evidence available to prove, just recounted from ancestors in his holiness. This information was composed to be an LP Tuad biography. More than three hundred years ago. According to folk tales, LP Tuad was born in 1582 (B.E. 2125), and some said he was born in 1588 (B.E. 2131) at Sathing Phra District, Songkhla Province, Southern Thailand. However, his period of birth can be assumed to be during the reign of King Maha Dhammaraja.
Phra Archan Tim, abbot of Wat Changhai temple, is the first creator of LP Tuad amulets. LP Tuad is mentioned in the early regional histories of Thailand, but his life is mainly preserved in oral traditions. Stories of the famous monk were passed on by word of mouth for centuries. As a result, it is a mixture of Buddhist elements: early signs, alleged magic, travel, study, meditation, and eventually “sainthood.” Many people in Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia believe that amulets created in LP Tuad image hold great protective powers, granting safety in times of distress, especially saving the lives of believers from seemingly fatal automobile accidents.
For over three hundred years, LP Tuad has exercised his power to help people in accidents and danger. Till today his stories are still very popular; peoples from many places come to pray to LP Tuad not simply as a protective deity, as he also works for the benefit of all living beings, asking for his blessings, mercy, protection, and any others. The sacred amulets of LP Tuad have been said to have saved countless lives of people, be it on the battlefield, in car accidents, armed robbery, etc. LP Tuad is probably one of the most revered and well-respected former guru monks ever. His life and works are legendary. It is recorded that LP Tuad is an Arahant, and Thais folks named him the "God of Vehicles." Almost every house will enshrine an LP Tuad statue, carry or place one in his car. This is because the LP Tuad amulet, over time, has been reported many times to help believers to get out of their predicament in fatal automobile accidents. This is the main reason Thai Buddhist believers believe in his holy spirit.
