Phra Luang Phor Tuad was one of the most respected monks in Thai history. He is known for performing several miracles during his lifetime.
When he was a child, a snake bound its body around him, but didn't bite. Instead, it delivered a pearl by its mouth and departed shortly after. After he became ordained as a monk, he traveled to Ayutthaya by boat, but ended up getting caught in a huge storm. The other individuals on the boat thought he was the source of the storm, so they considered throwing him overboard to calm the stormy waters. However, he proceeded to perform two miracles: calming the seas and turning the water around the boat into drinkable water.
He lived until he was 120 years old. The people of Thailand remember him by wearing amulets that depict him, because they think of it as magic.
