Many people in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia believe that amulets depicting Luang Pu Thuat hold great protective powers granting safety in times of distress, especially saving the lives of believers from seemingly fatal automobile accidents. Phra Archan Tim Dharmataro, abbot of Wat Chang Hai is the pioneer creator of Phra Luang Phor Thuad amulets.

Older, sacred amulets of Pu Thuat are considered priceless and very powerful.

The first batch of Laung Pu Thuat amulets was made in 2497 BE (1954). It consisted entirely of amulets made from herbs (nua wan). This is the most famous batch of Laung Pu Thuat amulets because it was the first batch; it is referred to as the 2497 batch. All amulets were made of herbs and powder. Subsequently, more amulets were made and coin (rian) variations were added (2500, 2504 etc.). The next most famous batch of amulets was produced in 2505 BE. This batch is famous for the new type of Laung Pu Thuat amulet which was cast in the shape of a traditional iron. This type of amulet is called Lang Taolit. It is famous and highly sought after as it is the first time Lang Taolit amulets were made. There are two types of Lang Taolit - (1) with no words behind (lang taolit) (2) with words behind (lang taolit nang suer). *Nang Suer means book in Thai.
