Personal Experiences Shared by Luksits

LP Fak's Palakit have long been associated with collector accounts concerning protection, personal safety, business prosperity and favourable treatment from others.

He is consider to be one of the top maker of Palakit and often his palakit was not commonly seen in the market. 

Among older devotees in Prachuap Khiri Khan, stories of Maha Ud and Khong Kraphan remain particularly prominent. Some recount incidents involving accidents or dangerous situations in which the wearer escaped serious injury. Such experiences contributed to the reputation of LP Fak's Palakit as protective talismans.

There are also longstanding local accounts involving encounters with snakes and other dangerous animals. Devotees describe escaping bites or injuries despite unexpectedly coming into close contact with these creatures. These remain traditional accounts rather than independently verified evidence of protection.

Business owners and travelling merchants favour LP Fak's Palakit for another reason. Some collectors associate carrying the artifact with smoother customer interactions, receiving assistance from unfamiliar people and encountering favourable business opportunities.

For long-term devotees, the appeal of LP Fak's Palakit is its broad traditional character. Rather than being regarded solely as an attraction talisman, it is valued for combining everyday protection with Metta and prosperity.

Historical Background

LP Fak Inthawangso – Wat Wang Sai Ting

LP Fak Inthawangso, also known by his ecclesiastical title Phra Khru Prasit Phawanakhun, was born in B.E. 2444 (1901).

He became closely associated with Wat Nikhom Prachasan, locally known as Wat Wang Sai Ting, in Mueang District, Prachuap Khiri Khan.

LP Fak was recognised for his knowledge of traditional protective Wicha, particularly the preparation of Palakit.

His studies are associated with several established Palakit lineages, including those of LP Luea of Wat Sao Cha Ngok, LP Ee of Wat Sattahip and LP Thongsuk of Wat Tanot Luang.

Through these traditions, LP Fak developed his own distinctive approach to carving, inscribing and consecrating Palakit.

The Reputation of Palakit Dan Da

LP Fak's Palakit became particularly sought after during the middle and later periods of his life.

Unlike ordinary Palakit, his carvings often incorporated unusual anatomical features, giving them a recognisable appearance.

His reputation was built upon accounts of protection, Maha Ud and Khong Kraphan, together with Metta and business-related blessings.

According to local accounts, devotees seeking his Palakit were sometimes required to contribute building materials towards temple construction.

One frequently repeated account describes devotees offering substantial quantities of cement in exchange for a single Palakit.

This practice reflected LP Fak's dedication to developing Wat Wang Sai Ting, with sacred objects serving as a means of encouraging support for the temple.

LP Fak passed away in B.E. 2531 (1988), leaving behind a respected tradition of protective talismans.

Origins of the Materials

Mai Ngiw Dam – Sacred Black Wood

This Palakit is carved from Mai Ngiw Dam, a dark wood traditionally valued among Thai occult practitioners.

Within regional folklore, Mai Ngiw Dam is regarded as an uncommon and spiritually significant material.

Some traditional accounts describe the wood as possessing a natural protective character, with associations concerning the warding off of harmful influences, black magic and malevolent spirits.

Stories describing exceptionally rare black Ngiw trees inhabited by guardian Devas form part of this folklore, although such claims are not established botanical facts.

For Palakit craftsmanship, Mai Ngiw Dam was particularly valued for its dark appearance and suitability for hand carving.

Other Traditional Materials Used by LP Fak

LP Fak was also known to prepare Palakit from various auspicious woods and natural materials, including:

• Mai Dam Dong: Traditionally associated with protective Wicha.

• Mai Manao Phi: Associated with protection against harmful spiritual influences.

• Mai Khun: Connected with prosperity and favourable fortune.

• Mai Rak: Traditionally associated with Metta and attraction.

• Mai Mayom Tai Prai: Used in certain protective and occult traditions.

Ritual

LP Fak's Palakit were traditionally prepared through individual carving, sacred inscription and consecration according to his established Wicha.

The Dan Da Kata

One of the most recognisable features of his Palakit tradition is the sacred formula:

Na Hi Ha Hu – Ja Cha Dan Da
นะ หิ หะ หุ จะ ฉะ ดัน ดะ

This formula became closely associated with LP Fak's Palakit, giving rise to the familiar name Palakit Dan Da.

Depending upon the individual artifact, additional Khmer inscriptions could include sacred formulas associated with:

Tao Wessuwan: Protection against harmful spiritual influences.

Itthije: Metta Maha Niyom, personal charm and attraction.

Kroh Phet: Protection and resilience.

Maha Ud: Traditional protection against weapons and physical danger.

LP Fak was known for preparing his Palakit individually, meaning the inscriptions and ritual details could differ from one example to another.

Personal Notes

LP Fak remains one of the recognised names among collectors of traditional Thai Palakit.

His reputation was established not through mass production, but through the individual preparation of sacred objects using selected natural materials and traditional Wicha.

This Mai Ngiw Dam example is particularly interesting for its dark wooden appearance, distinctive carving and association with the Dan Da tradition.

The accompanying authentication documentation provides an additional reference for collectors, although the age, material and attribution of any individual Palakit should always be considered alongside its physical characteristics and provenance.

Its principal appeal remains the broad range of blessings traditionally associated with LP Fak's work, particularly Maha Ud, Khong Kraphan, Klaew Klad and Metta Maha Niyom.
