🙏 Rare Centennial Medal of Venerable Luang Phor Worapot of Wat Chumphon
This bronze medal was produced in 1993 to mark the 100th birthday of the highly revered Luang Phor Worapot, a monk greatly respected in Khon Kaen province. This rare limited series pays homage to a master whose reputation extended far beyond his region, so exceptional were his spiritual achievements.
On the front, a beautiful portrait of Luang Phor Worapot is featured. The reverse depicts the famous minibus scene that caused a sensation in Thailand. In 1960, as the venerable monk was boarding a songtaew, the driver asked him to stand at the back while several women remained seated in the front. Luang Phor Worapot calmly asked if the vehicle risked tipping if he stood at the back. The driver replied no. As soon as the monk set foot on the rear platform, the front of the vehicle suddenly lifted into the air, much to the astonishment of the passengers. Terrified, the driver immediately apologized and invited the venerable monk to sit in the front. The vehicle then immediately returned to its normal position. This extraordinary event was reported in Thai newspapers and further strengthened Luang Phor Worapot's spiritual renown.
Amulets blessed by Luang Phor Worapot are traditionally sought after for their virtues of protection, luck, and elevation. This medal is credited with the ability to transform bad luck into good fortune, improve prosperity, sustain continuous wealth, promote business success, attract benefactors, and ward off visible and invisible dangers.
This centennial medal thus possesses strong symbolic significance. It unites the living memory of a popular miracle with the sacred power of a master whose ritual objects were renowned for their effectiveness. It will appeal equally to collectors of rare Thai amulets and to anyone sensitive to Buddhist protection and Thailand's sacred narratives.
