LP Foo's (also spelt as LP Fu) "I am a winner" Parakid. ("Phim Lek" or small mould)

This amulet is very popular in Thailand it seems as most if not all of the other variations in designs have been sold out.

- Wealth Luck
- Being successful in everything you do (love, overcoming obstacles, Metta and so on)

This amulet can be carried below waist level (in other words, you can put it in your trousers pocket and wear it that way).

That more or less sums up my Thailand trip for that time. On 14 May 2010, I did some of my personal shopping (non-amulet related) and on 15 May 2010 I took my return flight back to Singapore.

Update: I am planning for my next trip to Thailand. Please contact me for pre-orders or to confirm your orders, including out-of-stock items. Thanks!

14 May 2010

On 14 May 2010, I went to Pantip Song (plaza for amulets).

I spotted some lek lai. The Thai dealer was kind enough to let me take photographs.

That more or less sums up my Thailand trip for that time. On 14 May 2010, I did some of my personal shopping (non-amulet related) and on 15 May 2010 I took my return flight back to Singapore.

Next stop is to Ajaan Ord's temple in Pathum Thani. When I went there in the afternoon, he wasn't free immediately, so I had to wait for a while. In the meantime, I went to the temple amulet counter to see what can be obtained there.

(Ajaan Ord gained fame when it was found that there were many reported incidents in Thai media that his amulets helped protect people from accidents. He is especially famous for his "bullet" takruts (spell scroll with bullet casing) and amulets of Protection from Danger and Invulnerability to Weapons (knives, guns and bombs).

The temple counter staff showed me some Malaysian Thai amulet magazine showing how Ajaan Ord's amulet protected someone.



Below: Me having my picture taken with the temple counter staff.

Before I left Wat Chedi Hoy, I had some more pictures taken.

The structure below is rather unique or one of a kind (it is a temple structure made of oysters, fossilized oysters perhaps):

Since Wat Chedi Hoy had been submerged underwater for some of its history, I suspect the presence of Nagas to be strong here.

Below: Other scenes of Wat Chedi Hoy before I left this temple for my next stop.



(To be continued: Next stop --- to visit Ajaan Ord, famous for his "bullet" takruts for avoidance of danger/accidents and invulnerability to weapons)

While walking around in Wat Chedi Hoy some more, I noticed a wide selection of sentient beings in captivity (in cages or in containers).

I knew that to free them, one had to give the person in charge there a certain sum of money. Actually I was already low in cash and net financial assets at the time (I didn't have much money to my name when I embarked on this trip to Thailand), but I gave what I felt was within my means to free some birds.

A white robed Thai guy there then wanted me to recite some words after him (some kind of chanting I would think, either in Thai or some other language, perhaps Pali). My taxi driver helped to recite for me for much of the chanting.

Then I went in front of a Guan Yin Bodhisatta statue to release the birds (video clip below):

After having my pictures taken with LP Thong Gleung, I looked around his 'inner sanctum' and had more pictures taken.

LP Thong Gleung's temple is really interesting......it is like a living museum.....it gives me a sense that I have walked into the past or a place of rich history......perhaps I lived through those times in my past lives....





Above: Interesting framed pictures (noticed the "orbs" in the pictures)






Lp Thong Gleung wants to raise funds to rebuild his temple. The above Naga Walking stick which I am carrying can be taken for a fixed donation to the temple.

Wat Chedi Hoy is an interesting place......it gives me a sense of mystery, and the temple has a rich history......I was told by my taxi driver that the temple was underwater about 1000 years ago, adding to the mysterious aura.....This temple intrigues me....
Not surprisingly, it is known as the temple of oysters.....

The atmosphere in Wat Chedi Hoy when I was there is full of life, mixed with a somewhat laid-back and relaxed atmosphere. Cool

I eagerly anticipated meeting Lp Thong Gleung himself.

But first, I went to the temple counter to get some amulets first, for LP Thong Gleung to personally re-bless later.

Later: (Below) Short video clip of LP Thong Gleung re-blessing the amulets/items I got from his temple.

Below: LP Thong Gleung kindly agreed to have some pictures taken with me after the re-blessing of the amulets/items I got from his temple.

Above: On the way to Wat Chedi Hoy, the temple of oysters, in Pathum Thani.

When I arrived at Wat Chedi Hoy, this scene (below) greeted me:

Above: This car was donated by devotees of LP Cham Nam. Perhaps a number of those who donated the car are Singaporeans. I heard (not sure if accurate or not) that some of his devotees won a sum of money or had good business due to LP Cham Nam's help (maybe due to his amulet/s) or blessing so they donated this car to him as a way of thanking him for his help.

Above: Video clip of LP Chamnan blessing me and the amulets I got from him. He wrote yant on one of them (the Nak Prok amulet).





(Next stop: To see LP Thong Gleung of Wat Chedi Hoy, Pathum Thani province; to be continued...)
