[citation needed] Luang Pu Thuat is mentioned in the early regional histories of southern Thailand, but his life is mainly preserved in oral traditions.
As a result, it is a mixture of Buddhist elements: early signs, alleged magic, travel, study, meditation, and eventual “sainthood.” His movements throughout the southern Thai peninsula constitute a path of pilgrimage for many of his followers.
[citation needed] Luang Pu Thuat has also been said to have saved countless lives of people be it on the battlefield, armed robbery, or more with his sacred amulets.
Many people in Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia believe that amulets depicting Luang Pu Thuat hold great protective powers granting safety in times of distress, especially saving the lives of believers from seemingly fatal automobile accidents.
This batch is famous for the new type of Luang Pu Thuat amulet which was cast in the shape of a traditional iron.
