Background

In the year BE 2506, Wat Prasat organized one of the most important mass consecration ceremonies in Nonthaburi Province to revive and bless sacred Buddhist amulets. This event was a large-scale sacred initiative that brought together many highly respected monks from various parts of Thailand. The Phra Somdej 3 Chan Pim Yai was among the most revered amulets produced during this event.

Wat Prasat itself holds a long-standing reputation as one of Nonthaburi’s oldest temples, with its origins dating back to the Ayutthaya period. The temple had historically been associated with the making of strong sacred powder-based amulets and the preservation of ancient Thai Buddhist art forms.
