Popular Post webfact Posted January 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2021 Thai man credits “Patron Saint of Travel" amulet for saving him from horror smash Picture: Naew Na Thai media Naew Na claimed that an amulet was the reason a driver survived a smash with a lamppost in Had Yai, southern Thailand yesterday. The 30-40 year old was on his way to Sadao when he lost control of his Honda Civic and smashed head on into a lamppost near a weighing station. The media claimed it was a miracle. A rescue foundation treated the victim for a touch of blood under his chin. There was no one else in the car. Picture: Naew Na The driver was wearing just one amulet that was a "Phra Sivali". Wikipedia says that Sivali is like the patron saint of travel - a kind of Thai St Christopher. Sivali is widely venerated by Theravada Buddhists as an arhat - one who has gained insight into the true nature of existence, just one step off being an enlightened Buddha. Thung Lung police are investigating the accident.
