The Legacy of Krua Phutthason

Krua Phutthason (sometimes called Phut Son or Phut Sorn) was a highly respected monk known for his wisdom and supernatural powers. According to local belief, he could calm the sea during storms, protect seafarers, and heal those in distress. After his passing, his relics were enshrined inside the chedi, making it a sacred site for both locals and visitors who come to pay respect and make offerings.
