The Ministry of Interior in collaboration with Samut Sakhon (สมุทรสาคร) Province have started producing amulets in an attempt to seek funds for state authorities to operate in the three southernmost provinces.

Permanent Secretary of Interior Phongphayom Wassaphot (พงศ์โพยม วาศภูติ) said the southern violence have caused damage to both local residents and state authorities. In an attempt to assist and support authorities’ operations in the restive south, Interior Minister and Sumut Sakhorn have jointly produced amulets of Luang Po To (หลวงพ่อโต) for sale, adding the proceedings will be used to purchase weapons and provide medical treatment for officials operating in the deep South.

The Interior Ministry and Sumut Sakhon will arrange a press conference of the project on May 18th at 14.00 hours at the Interior Ministry.
