Mai Paya Taew Aew waistcords and bracelets were among his most prized amulets of all, for they were always rare even during his heyday. His Palad Khik are very rare, but an item like this Takrut Mai Paya Taew Aew is amongst the rarest items, for the Paya Taw Aew wood is one of the rarest and most difficult sacred woods to find, and so only very few were ever made.

Luang Phu's Palad were first made by himself, and after their popularity became much greater, he would allow the local devotees to help to carve the amulets, and bless them. When devotees came to give alms at the temple, he would have a large bowl full of the Palad Khik, and allow each devotee to take one handful of Palad Khik home with them after making Merits. But rarer items like this Mai Paya Taew Aew waistcord were always made only by Luang Phu Maekh himself by his own hand, as they were so few and rare to allow him to need no assistance. So far and few between is this wood to encounter.

A young man of the town who wore one was shot at riding a motorcycle, but the gun did not fire the bullet, and he was unharmed. he came to the temple to recount the story, and the legend of Luang Phu Maekh's Palad Khik grew.

A lady Devotee wore the Palad Khik around her waist on a cord belt. She was walking home one night, and entered a dark small soi (alley), and was suddenly pounced upon by a thief, who, when he saw it was a woman, then began to demand that she undressed, so he could rape her.

The lady Devotee prayed to the Palad Khik of Luang Phu Maekh as she undressed, to save her from her plight anmd danger, and as she removed her dress, the robber and to-be rapist cried out in surprise when he saw the Palad Khik poking out of her dress, and, thinking the lady was a man (transvestite), ran away, leaving the lady unharmed, and with all her money and possessions intact.

Many market traders who Bucha the Palad Khik Luang Phu Maekh would use the Palad as Luang Phu had instructed to stab the wares they were selling with the Palad Khik in hand and chant the Kata for Luang Phu Maekh, and their sales would skyrocket.

Luang Phu Maekh's mortal remains are said to be 'Mai Nao Mai Bpueay' which means that the corpse does not rot, without any mummification.

This is seen as a miracle of Arahantship by devotees.. Luang Phu Maekh was known for his direct speech which did not beat about the bush, but also for his great truthfulness of speech, and open hearted honesty.

His sacred wooden amulets are known for their power to ward off the dangers of poisonous beasts such as snakes and deadly insects, as well as for its Kaa Khaay power to increase successful sales of goods.
