Amulets that are defined by their age, history & significance...


Where it all began...


Wat Mahawan (unknown age)

Legends hold that Wat Mahawan was founded in the year 

657 by Queen Chamathewi, who brought a Buddha image 

from Lawo (Lopburi) to be enshinred here. The local 

population dubbed the image Phra Rod Luang or Phra Rod 

Lamphun, and used it as a model for creating votive tablets 

called 'Phra Rod Mahawan'. The temple is likely much newer 

than the legends claim, and its chief building of interest is 

the ho trai, which was constructed in the 1940s.

An amulet of definite age... 


A biography of the revered Luang Phor behind this amulet...



Luang Phor Kong, was born on September 20th, B.E.2445, 
to the family of Mr. Song and Mrs.Ong.
He was officially ordained twice, the first time aged 21, at Wat Taprai, 
Trad Provincebut resigned shortly after.

In B.E.2477, he was again officially ordained at Wat Chompulai, 
Trad Province, by Pra Atikarn Pook, who acted as Pra Upacha.

In BE 2508 he was appointed as the abbot of Wat Wungsaprung, 
Chantaburi Province and governed the temple until B.E.2532, 
when he passed away.

Luang Phor Kong was educated in both Lord Buddha’s Dharma and 
sacred sciences, which he learnt from many sacred monks including 
his own grand father named Luang Kiriket, who’s specialized in the 
sacred science that could protect worshippers from all kinds of weapons. 
He also learned studied under Luang Phor May of Wat Marppai, 
Luang Phor Um of Wat Stonoi, Luang Phor Joh of Wat Pongrongsen, etc.




Moreover he also traveled to Burma to learn a sacred science called 
Sursaming in which he became highly specialised. 
Upon returning to his homeland he created many sacred amulets 
which feature the tiger.

(Note: Seuasaming was derived from an ancient legend about 

the sacred soul of fierce tigers, which could transform into a man 
or a woman during the night hours. Thai people would be warned 
not to listen or follow any mysterious sounds after nightfall as it could 
be the sound of Seuasaming luring them.)

Because of his sacred power, he was much respected by many other 

senior monks such as Luang Poo Toh of Wat Praduchimpli, 
Luang Poo Krum of Wat Wungwa and Luang Por Srinual of Wat Kwianhuk.

Moreover many temples throughout Thailand often invited him to 

join sacred-spell ceremonies to help create amulets. He never refused 
despite the fact that his entire time ewas devoted to helping the sick 
with secret herbal remedies.

Luang Phor Kong was also a keen artist, and many of his amulets also 

feature drawings of either the tiger or Phra Pitda.
Luang Phor Kong had passed away on September 25th, B.E.2532, 

at 10.15 a.m., aged 87, having served Buddhism for around 55 years.

Luang Phor Kong was highly respected for his dedication. 

During World War II he had created many kinds of amulets to help 
protect innocent people from bombs and bullets.

Indeed many  of his amulets became very famous and respected for 

their sacred power such as Pra Yodtong, which had saved a woman’s life 
from a deadly accident at Nongkla Market, Tamai District.

All of his amulets are still highly respected today for their sacred power 

although he  passed away 20 years ago.
