LP Thong, Wat Rachyota

For reference. Please don't ask why the price is not expensive for a good amulet. This is the price in year 2562 in Thailand. Maybe it may move up in future. Nonetheless, don't under estimate it's price. There're tons of fakes/replicas with dubious certificates.

By the way, this price is not cheap for a normal Thai. It's about a day's wage for a mid income Singaporean. Invest within your means. Don't go for those exotic amulets which are beyond your budget. The lower end jobs such as farming and manufacturing pay is very low. Industry average for manufacturing and labour jobs are typically 6000-8000 baht per month. If you live away from big cities, even if you have a degree depending on your job, you're unlikely to make more than 10,000 baht per month. The average Thai daily is about 300 baht at the time of this writing!


Lp Thong is the most famous monk originating from Wat Lard Buakhao, (Wat Rachyota), Bangkok. Several decades ago many Indians lived in close proximity to the temple, most of whom were not Buddhist. In fact it was recorded that they often attempted to steal temple property and the fish from the pond.
