Luang Pu Thuad – Wat Phra Singh, Chiang Mai, B.E. 2506 (1963)

Historical Background

In 1963, Phra Ajahn Tim Dhammatharo of Wat Chang Hai brought amulets, Buddha images, and printed chanting slips for Luang Pu Thuad to Wat Phra Singh. At that time, Phra Thammarachanuwat (also known as Phra Ubali Khunupamajarn) was the abbot of Wat Phra Singh. That same year, the temple began offering these sacred objects to the public, but awareness remained limited to local devotees.

In 1973, after the passing of Phra Thammarachanuwat, and following his royal cremation in 1974, the temple gathered all remaining sacred objects and stored them in the Railway Building (Kudee Tuek Kan Rotfai), which was then locked.

In 1992, during renovations of the Railway Building, the stored sacred objects— including the Luang Pu Thuad batch—were brought out again for public offering to raise funds for repairs to the building and other important temple structures. This release marked the turning point where the Luang Pu Thuad amulets of Wat Phra Singh became widely known and collected.

Consecration Ceremonies
These amulets underwent two consecrations:

1. First Ceremony – Solemn consecration by Phra Ajahn Tim at Wat Chang Hai in 1963, prior to delivery to Wat Phra Singh.

2. Second Ceremony – Consecrated again in 1969 during the grand ceremony for Phra Kring Naresuan Muang Ngai at Wat Phra Singh. This took place on 15 January 1969, presided over by His Majesty the King, with the monastic ceremony led by Phra Ajahn Sai Sumano of Wat Ratchanadda, Bangkok. Many highly respected monks participated, including Phra Ajahn Tim himself.
