The first two characters are on the left and right sides of the image's face, and the third character is on the belly. This signifies that the Pidta is made with the power of the Triple Gem. The wearers should take refuge in the Triple Gem and can request wishes upon their desires.

FORSEEING THE FUTURE

By recognizing the impending war, he instructed three of his most accomplished disciples viz LP Kong of Wat BangKapom, LP Luea of Wat SaoChaNgok, and LP Chong of Wat NatangNok, to create powerful Yant jackets for Thai soldiers.
YANT JACKETS
As prophesied, the Indochina War between Thailand and France erupted in late B.E.2483.
True to their teacher's instructions, LP Kong, LP Luea, and LP Chong created their Yant jackets and distributed to the Thai soldiers.
These sacred talismans proved to be remarkably effective, shielding the soldiers from harm during the intense battles.
At that moment, Thai soldiers fought with France's Indochina forces mostly are Vietnamese, Cambodian and Lao soldiers, under the French commanders.
MIRACULOUS PROTECTION
Numerous accounts emerged from the warzones in Laos and Cambodia, where many Thai soldiers wore Luang Pu Thong's Yant jackets miraculously survived direct gunfire.
Despite being struck by bullets, Thai soldiers would remain unscathed, rising to fight on with unwavering courage. These extraordinary occurrences instilled fear and confusion among the Indochinese forces, who began to regard the Thai soldiers as invincible "ghost soldiers."
LEGACY OF PROTECTION
AND SPIRITUAL POWER
Luang Pu Thong's legacy lives on through the enduring tales of his Yantra jackes' protective power. His foresight and compassion safeguarded countless Thai soldiers during the Indochina War, solidifying his reputation as a revered top master of Thai incantations.
