The Look Kaew of Luang Pu Thuad
According to the records, Luang Pu Thuad had a powerful crystal ball. It is said that a King Cobra spit out a crystal ball for Luang Pu as an offering when he was just an infant.
Luang Pu’s parents were out working in the fields and tied his hammock/cradle for Luang Pu to rest in under a shady tree. At present, the location is now Samnak Song Na Bplay.
When Luang Pu grew up, his parents gave him this crystal ball that they had been keeping for him. Luang Pu treasured it as a precious possession and carried it around with him wherever he went.
In the ancient days of Ayutthaya there was an epidemic, Luang Pu took out his majestic crystal ball and set his mind to pray, making holy water for the people until the epidemic subsided.
When Luang Pu restored and stayed at Wat Pak Kho for the phansa, he enshrined this look kaew on the top of the chedi, which was therefore named "Suwan Malik Chedi Sri Rattana Mahathat".
Unfortunately, the crystal ball fell down one day and suffered some damage. Wat Pak Kho kept it safely for the devotees of Luang Pu Thuad to pay respects to up to the present day.
There has been many miraculous events related to this look kaew koo baramee of Luang Pu Thuad.
