The amulets of LPhoo Tim have supernatural power that can be trusted which will pile up alot of experience.

Amulets such as phayant of LPhoo which the soldiers carried it all the time and stepped on an explosive trap and incredibly,it didn't explode ! There were some soldiers got shot until their uniform was torn into pieces but it didn't even irritate their skin.They merely got black-green briuises that all.

Phayant + Photo Of LPhoo
Mr Ped Panom Rung,columnist magazine of Yorn Roi Gam narrated excitingly that he went to pay homage to LPhoo Tim Wat Phra Kao many times.He rented a large phayant with LPhoo in the centre encircling by various images and scriptures or mantra.

However,this was a real incident of this columnist with experience he doesn't wish to come across again.No matter which life it is !

When he got the phayant he framed it up for worship within his house and close to it was another photo of LPhoo Tim.

A year passed by,there was a fire close to his house and he became panic.The fire was spreading wildly to the side of his house until it finally caught fire.He decided to abandon all the thing he treasure.He affirmed within his heart,"May I got only my life to escape,next day which was rather unlikely to find."

Before he want to run out of the house.He took a glance hastily and saw the photo of LPhoo Tim with the phayant hang at the centre of the wall.Seeing these,he make a last decision declaring to LPhoo kneeling down requesting for help making a wish at the fastest time as he could.He said,"Let this house escape fire damage for this time too."Finished speaking he ran out of the house hastily.

Does miracle exist or not ?.......I don't know !....Know only that,after he ran out of the house he observed the fire which was raging there gradually extinguished to his disbelieve.It was because the fire was able to spread to his house.It look like something went to extinguish the fire suddenly.

The experience that obviously almost had it exchange with ruin at this time.There is not going to be anybody that know better than him that," What actually was the reason the fire extinguished on it own before it could spread to his house."
