Luang Pu Tuat, at the age of 80, resided at Wat Pha Ko. One day while he was strolling along the sea, Chinese pirates caught him and took him to the sea with them. Not so long after the pirates' ship took off, it stopped unexplainable in the middle of the sea.
The pirates felt desperately after they tried to move the ship several times. The ship floated in the sea for days. Finally, the ship ran out of food supply and freshwater and the crews suffered from dehydrating. When Luang Phor Tuat saw that, he put his feet into the sea for a while and told the crews to taste the seawater.
The crews tasted the seawater. Miraculously, the seawater was tasteless, no longer salted. The Chinese pirates wondered the miracle and were scared of Luang Pu Tuat. As a result, the pirates asked for forgiveness and send Luang Pu Tuat ashore. After that, he was named “Luang Pu Tuat steps on tasteless sea”.
