[The Legend of Phra That Doi Suthep]
During the time of Siwithai, there was a small village called Ban Nu Din in Nakhon Si Thammarat province. In this village lived a farming couple who had just had a child, but couldn't think of a good name for him and hadn't yet chosen one. One day, the couple went to work in the fields, and to make it easier to care for him, they took the child with them. They tied a cloth bag to a wooden shed, put the child inside, and went to work. Unexpectedly, at noon, a large cobra crawled into the shed, coiled its body around the cloth bag, and began flicking its tongue at the child. Just then, a neighbor brought the couple lunch and, seeing this, frantically cried for help. The couple, sensing something was wrong, immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed to the shed. But when they arrived, the snake was gone. The couple picked up the child and checked him, finding no harm.
Just as the farmer's wife was packing her bag to go home, she unexpectedly found a small stone bead with a liquid that looked like saliva on it. The wife immediately showed it to the farmer, but the two of them couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time. After this incident, the farmer decided to use the meaning of the stone bead and the snake to name his child, naming him Bangbagan; at the same time, the farmer carefully kept the stone bead safe.
When Phanpa was eight years old, his mother strung copper wire into a steel-shaped bag, wrapped the stone beads inside, and made a necklace for Phanpa to wear to ensure his safety when he went out .
Pampajian spent his childhood in the countryside herding cattle. He enjoyed making wooden swords, guns, and other weapons, and was passionate about playing war games. When playing with his friends, Pampajian always insisted on being the leader, commanding the other children to obey his orders.
One day, Bangpagan gathered all the children for a fish-catching competition. Whoever caught the fewest fish would be beheaded, and Bangpagan himself would carry out the execution. The competition lasted all day, and one child couldn't even catch half a fish, so he had to be punished. The punished child knelt on the ground awaiting his punishment, while Bangpagan took out a wooden sword (this wooden sword was made using a kind of...) Made from the wood of the Maybat. Maybat is a type of softwood with a small hole in the middle of the trunk. Simply peel off the bark, tie the end with rope to form a handle, and sharpen the front part to create a wooden sword.
When Pampa approached the child to be punished with a wooden sword, the child was still smiling and waiting for Pampa to "execute" him. But as Pampa raised the wooden sword and made a move to chop the child's neck, in the blink of an eye, the child's head was severed and rolled to the ground!
The children, terrified by the sight, ran away crying. Some ran to the house of the beheaded child to tell his parents. Only Bangbagan remained, stunned, picking up the wooden sword and examining it closely, wondering why such a wooden sword could sever a head ... It wasn't until the child's parents arrived and saw their child's decapitated body that they angrily sought out the village chief to seek justice.
After hearing the accusations from both sides, the village chief was still baffled. The murder weapon was a wooden sword, not a real one. How should he be convicted? With no other options, he could only temporarily detain Panpa in the detention center and send someone to consult the emperor to await his judgment.
The emperor at the time was Zengtarapanu, also known as Zedujin. After hearing the whole story, Zedujin was very curious and ordered his soldiers to bring Bangpagan to the palace. The soldiers immediately obeyed the order and demanded the man from the village chief. The village chief dared not delay and hurriedly led the soldiers to the detention center, whereupon Bangpagan was released and taken away. The village chief also sent someone to inform Bangpagan's parents of the above reasons. Upon learning this, the farmer and his wife feared that their son's trip to the palace to meet the emperor was likely to end badly. They were filled with anxiety and could not sleep all night.
The next day, after the soldiers arrived at the palace, they immediately escorted Bangpagan to see Emperor Zedujin. Upon seeing Bangpagan's appearance, Zedujin felt he was extraordinary. After observing him more closely, he developed a strange feeling that this child was destined for greatness and would surely rise above his circumstances, bringing prosperity to the nation. Therefore, he ordered the prime minister to provide compensation to the victim's parents, resolving the conflict. Zedujin also adopted Bangpagan as his godson. Bangpagan's parents, upon learning that their son had turned out well, were overjoyed and wept tears of gratitude. From then on, Bangpagan lived in the palace, studying literature and martial arts. Only after Bangpagan turned twenty was he officially appointed as a military officer.
The ancient Danling Kingdom used to pay annual tribute of honeysuckle and silver to the Chiwa Kingdom. One year, the emperor decided that the amount of silver paid in tribute was substantial and that it would be better to use it to help his own impoverished people than to send it to another country. Therefore, he decided to refuse further tribute. The Chiwa Kingdom, upon learning this, was furious and immediately sent troops to attack the Danling Kingdom. Emperor Zedukang then dispatched his adopted son, Panpajian, to fight. Panpajian displayed extraordinary prowess, becoming invincible, and the Chiwa soldiers suffered countless casualties every day. Strangely, the Chiwa soldiers could not see the enemy's attack; many died without ever knowing why.
It turns out that whenever Bangpagan went into battle, no one could see him, because the stone beads he wore had the ability to make him invisible. Therefore, Bangpagan could enter the enemy camp as if it were empty, and he repeatedly made great contributions to the country.
To commemorate him, later generations built his golden statue, with his hand covering his face to represent invisibility, so that believers wearing this amulet would have protection. His head has two layers of pumpkin-shaped patterns, symbolizing that one should always have a righteous heart. And there is always a snake coiled around his body, representing the guardian deity's constant protection of its owner.
