This amulet of the Walking Buddha is released by Luang Phor (LP Tud), at Wat Han Kok Chang temple in Songkhla Province. During the Sukhothai era, Buddha images were created in the main four postures: Sitting, Standing, Walking and Reclining. The symbolizes dispelling of fear, protection and reassurance. Depending on the region and era the gesture can also mean “Stopping the Sandalwood Image” with Left Hand Raised, "No Fear" with Right Hand Raised, and "Calming the Ocean" with Both Hands Raised. The creation of a walking Buddha image is a distinctive feature of Thai art in the thirteenth century. Walking images of the Buddha continue to be made in Thailand to this day. The Walking Buddha image with the left hand raised and the other hand resting at the side is known as the attitude of restraining The Chronicle of the Sandalwood Buddha image not to rise from its seat.

This is how the story goes. When the Lord Buddha paid a visit to his mother for three months on Tavatimsa, the second level of heaven, a king named Pasentikosol, who was missing the Lord Buddha, had a Buddha image carved from sandalwood and had it placed in the residence where the Lord Buddha used to stay. When the Lord Buddha returned from Tavatimsa. The king requested the Lord Buddha to have a look at the sandalwood image, which rose from its seats to pay homage to the Lord Buddha. The Lord Buddha urged the image not to rise from its seat by lifting his left hand in the gesture of restraining, with the gesture of Imparting Fearlessness. Signifies grace and internal beauty, and in Thai, it's known as Phra Leela (Walking Buddha).

The Walking Buddha is an innovation in presenting the Lord Buddha, with his left hand raised, facing outward, left-hand dangles along the left side of the body. Standing with a walking posture. This statue is particular to the Sukhothai period in Thailand. “If you are facing in the right direction, all you need to do is keep on walking - Gautama Buddha.
