Thao Wessuwans from the famous Wat Chulamanee are well known for their wealth fetching, wish fulfilling and protective effects.

The “Tao Wessuwan” image at Wat Chulamanee is particularly significant. According to legend, Luang Phor Yit had a vision in which Tao Wessuwan took him on a tour of the underworld. In gratitude, Luang Phor Yit vowed to erect a statue of Tao Wessuwan at the temple. Following the advice in his vision, the statue was sculpted by a specific artist from Phetchaburi. Today, the Tao Wessuwan statue at Wat Chulamanee attracts worshippers from far and wide, who come to offer incense, prayers, and chants day and night.
