Lp Up Wat Tong Sai

My older customers and friends will already know the story behind this amulet, but for those who are new here, this is how my journey with it began.

Sometime around 2008 or 2009, when my amulet shop was still at Pearl Centre, an elderly man came in and traded a whole box of amulets. They were kept inside an old Van Houten metal chocolate box, and among them was this piece, fitted in a simple and inexpensive steel casing.

At that time, I did not even know who the monk was. I simply felt an unusual affinity with the amulet, so I placed it in my shirt pocket and began wearing it.

What happened afterwards became an important chapter in my life. Within about a month, my sales increased almost tenfold. Business continued to improve, and by 2016—after Pearl Centre was en bloc—I was able to afford a small shop at Golden Mile. Fast-forward to today, I have built up several assets, including property and shares in several local banks.

Of course, success always requires hard work and good decisions, but personally, I have always regarded this particular piece as one of the most important amulets behind the change in my fortune.

Over the years, I have sold only around three of these, excluding my personal piece, which will never be for sale. One customer later started a small company and eventually sold it for approximately S$10 million. Another expanded his business and now operates from a factory in Singapore. These are their individual experiences, but they explain why I hold this particular model in such high regard.

Today, I finally have another one available. It comes beautifully fitted in a custom-made gold casing, which I will include complimentary as part of the deal.

This is a premium piece and is not something I would recommend casually to everyone. However, for someone looking for one of the most sought-after and respected amulets made by Luang Phor Up, this is the model that has consistently received the greatest demand—and the one I can speak about most sincerely from my own experience.
