This amulet was released by Archan Phat Ariyo of Wat Nathawee temple, located in Songkhla Province. The legend of a high priest, Luang Phor Tuad (LP Tuad) or Somdej Phako, originated from the Kingdom of Ayutthaya period (Thailand's capital from 1350 to 1767). No documentary evidence is available to prove this; it is 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) in Sathing Phra District, Songkhla Province, Southern Thailand.
However, his birth period can be assumed to be during the reign of King Maha Dhammaraja. Phra Archan Tim, Wat Changhai temple's abbot, is LP Tuad amulets' first creator. 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's image hold great protective powers, granting safety in times of distress, especially saving the lives of believers from seemingly fatal automobile accidents.
LP Tuad has exercised his power to help people in accidents and danger for over three hundred years. Until today, his stories are still viral; people 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 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 among 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 Thai folks named him the "God of Vehicles." Almost every house will enshrine an LP Tuad statue, and one will be carried or placed in his car. It is because the LP Tuad amulet has been reported many times to help believers escape their predicament in fatal automobile accidents. This is why Thai Buddhist believers believe in his holy spirit.
