Kruba Chan was in born 12th October 2468 and obtained as a novice monk at the age of 12 in Wat Pa Teng under Kruba La Tatip as his preceptor. When Kruba Chan was at the age of 19, due to the reason that he was born in a very poor family and he was forced to resign from monkshood as his family was facing a financial issue.

   While he was earning to provide for his family,  monkshood has always been in his mind. During his free time, he will seek the guidance of Dharma, magic practice from LP Tar of Wat Don Tan & Kruba Wan of Wat Don Chai. When Kruba Chan reached the age of 55, Kruba Chan decided to re-obtained as a monk in Wat Na Plang. 

  After residing in Wat Na Plang for quite some time, a group of villagers proposed to Kruba Chan to restore an abandoned temple named Wat Nam Pang which was abandoned for a long time. After visiting the abandoned temple of Wat Nam Pang, Kruba Chan feels that the environment & location is an ideal place for him to reside. As Kruba Chan's father is getting old, the villagers decided to build a small hut for Kruba Chan's father to resided.

  While Kruba Chan was reconstructing Wat Nam Pang, his father passed away and due to this reason, he decided to reside in Wat Nam Pang for good. Kruba Chan is famous for his Kong Ka Pan & Kleaw Kat magic practice which has inherited from LP Tar of Wat Don Tan & Kruba Wan of Wat Don Chai. And due effectiveness and feedback, it is very extremely difficult, in fact almost impossible to have it.

Ajahn Khun Pan

  Khun Pan's Full name is Khun Pan Tharakrachadet, the Thai addressed him as "Tharn Khun". His ancestors were from Saiburi and after that, his parent moved to Nakhon si . Khun Pan is the second son among the 6 sons. He was born in 18th December  1898( BE.2441) at a village known as Thasala . As a boy,  he will always go to the nearby temple to learn the Peli language from the monks.
  
  During his age of 9, Khun Pan went to school in Wat Baan Suan. On his first day of school, the teacher gave him an IQ test and after he submitted his test paper, on the second day the teacher asked him to join year two class. The next day, Khun Pan took another IQ test and again the teacher arranged him to join the year three class on the next day. This shows that Khun Pan has exceptionally high IQ since he was young.
  
   During his primary school days, Khun Pan always scores as a top student in class. During his free time, he will go to the master to learn metaphysics knowledge and magical skills. He later came under a master name Luang Lu Pun of Wat Kao Or and master more of the skills. He underwent the specialized skills in acquiring  the personal tactic of Wat Kao Or in the preparation of medicine , sacred water, chanting prayer texts day and night continuously  for a few days. His master tattooed scripture texts on his body which enable Khun Pan to become invulnerable by guns bullets and other weapons.

  When he reached the age of 21 , he went to join the police force and was sent for training at the police training center at Nairoihuaijarakhet, Nakhon Pathom for 5 years. During the training, Khun Pan acquired the skills of several types of martial arts such as Judo, Thai boxing,sword fighting and self-defending skills.


  After he graduated from the training school, he was posted to Pattalung as a police inspector. Pattalung at that time was a famous notorious district  of the hiding place of well-known bandits. Some areas are so notorious that even the police were hesitant to enter. Khun Pan was fearless and exceptionally fond of confronting the most notorious criminal and challenged them. Within 5 years, he had successfully arrested many great bandits such as bandit Sang, bandit Poo, bandit Mung, bandit Thong, bandit Yo, bandit Dang and so on.The district government acknowledged the achievement of Khun Pan and informed the king of his achievement. Soon he was conferred as the top ranking police inspector.


  Around the age of 30, he applied to stop work for a year to become a monk for a year at Wat Mahathat. His master was Chao Khun Rathanadum Chamuni. During the year when he was observing the precepts, Khun Pan studied the scripture texts, Buddhists rules, and disciplines. After one year, he returned to secular lifestyle on a selected auspicious date. he was cordially received by the police forces upon his return. 

  About a month after his return to secular lifestyle, the political division transferred Khun Pan to Narathiwat to become an inspector, During that time,  in the district was mostly Muslim and Khun Pan managed to pick up some Malay language while he was stationing there. Not long after, a great incident took place.
  
  A well known bandit with political backing who had personally acquired some magical skills with his physical body not vulnerable to bullets and weapon was up to all evil. Looting and killing were commonly witness by the local and people living in that area were living in fear. When Khun Pan learned about this, he was prepared to bring down this bandit. After a few months of tracking, Khun Pan has finally come to face this bandit. After a vigorous fight with each applying their skills and strength, the bandit was finally subdued and sent to prison.

  Not long after, the bandit committed suicide in the jail. After receiving this news,  people of the district honor Khun Pan as the "Raja Kecil" which literally, means the"Little King". Thereafter, Khun Pan worked in several districts such as Pattalung, Songkhla, Suratthani, Pijit, Ayutthaya, Narathiwat and Sukhothai.

  During his term of duty, he holds the records of successfully in arresting more than a hundred of ferocious great bandits. Till now, no one else has ever achieved such a great achievement.

  Khun Pan retired from the police force in the year of 2507. By the year of 2516, he became a senator under the democratic party. Khun Pan had lived until the age of 108 and passed away on 5th July 2549 at 23:27. After the 100 days of  prayers chanting and ritual ceremonies, Khun Pan was cremated on the 22nd February 2550. Even though Khun Pan has passed away, his contribution and legacy are still well remembered by the people of Thailand.

During that time, Mayo was a small town whose culture is way much closer to the tribe.

   For the past 10 years, Pattani which used to be a peaceful province has become a place full of terrorist and bombing issues. People who have the capability to move out of this province has already done so due to safety reasons and those people who have left behind in the province are poorer families,army or the monks. Besides relying on the army for protection,the monks, and high monks has become their only moral supports for the poor families to believe in. 

  During this kind of situation, weapons and firearms are more trustable than the law. Besides weapon and firearms, nothing else can be comparable to a sacred object or amulet consecrated by a high monk to keep them safe. During this 10 over years, he has been living as simple life just as anybody else. Amulets and sacred object consecrated by him have been highly sought by people and the army.

Kayaphan is the special magic practice of Wat Bang Trang passed down through generations of Wat Bang Trang. To others, it might just look like a normal belt with some engraved yants. However, every single of yants engraves onto the belt has a special effect and meaning. It takes very long efforts and time to complete each set of a belt. 

  Sacred objects and amulets consecrated by Phor Than Seng are well-known for  protection from harm, maha niyom and wealth fetching effects. Over the years, a lot of believers has been approaching Phor Than Seng to mass consecrated amulets due to demands in devotees.

Incident I
   The next testimonial story is related to a fatal car accident where all 5 passengers escaped from narrow death.  In Thailand 4 wheel drive pickup trucks are very popular.  One day a man drove his pick-up truck with other 4 passengers at high speed in Nonthaburi Province.  While speeding he loses control of the steering wheels and his pick-up truck had a head-on collision with another vehicle coming from the opposite direction.  The pick-up truck broke into half due to the impact of the accident.  Amazingly all the 5 passengers in the pick-up truck escaped unhurt and survived from this terrible accident.  All 5 of them wore a bullet Takrut created by Ajahn Od, Wat Sai Mai and they all firmly believed that this sacred incantation scroll had kept them safe and protected.  The file photo of the undisclosed survivor in this accident held the bullet Takrut during the news interview.  It is said that bullet Takrut incantation scroll is effectively capable of warding off dangers and accidents.

Incident II
  This news happened on 13th May 2007.  Mr. ChaTree DuangPaKot who was a motorbike rider said that a guy whose name was Mr. FaHat had approached him for his service to go Rangsit market. While he was riding, suddenly Mr. FaHat took out a knife and threatened him to stop the motorbike. When he stopped the bike, Mr. FaHat did not only robbed his money but also used the knife to stabbed in his neck. However, the knife could not manage to penetrate through his neck and Mr. Chatree only suffered a minor injury from this incident.   Mr.ChaTree was admitted to hospital for a thorough check up and he was told that he was only suffering from a minor injury. He strongly believed that he managed to survive from this bad situation is because of the power from LP Od's takrut.  As the Police were doubtful and do not believe Mr. Chatree, Police general Mr. Sopon PeungChai decided to prove how sharp of this knife was. Mr. Sopon used this knife to cut a thick rubber tube. It found that the rubber tube completely broke into two in one cutting.

Ajahn Klang Seng( Wat Khao Kut)

  Ajahn Klang Seng is one of  the great monks in Songkhla province which is the southern part of Thailand who is a recently well-known monk with quite a numbers of believers from Thailand,Malaysia, and Singapore. He was born in 18th Sept Be 2518 from Sisaket Province was a novice monk who studied Buddhism and magical practice at the age of 21 under the guidance of Phra Kru Vikong of Wat Phi Mai.

   Just a year before Ajahn Klang Seng ordained as a monk, he had a strange dream of a monk in a golden suit leading him from a mountain to a grand shrine which sat a great monk in the middle of the shrine. As he walked closer to the great monk, he began to realize the monk was no one else but the Great Phra Chinnaraj, beside him was Mokerana and Salibo. The monk in the golden suit who was leading him to Phra Chinnaraj is actually Phra Sivali. As he was bowing his respect to the great Buddha, someone was whispering in his ear asking him "when will he be ready to inherit the teaching of Buddhism"? After this incident, Ajahn Klang Seng realized his destiny is to serve Buddhism. 

     After Ordaining as a monk, he decided to start his journey of practicing and gaining knowledge of Buddhism by traveling to Surin, from Surin to Cambodia. Cambodia has a long history of Buddhism passed down since centuries whereby its an ideal place for learning and mastering the foundation of Buddhism and magical practice. During the year of his staying in Cambodia, he met various of masters who travels from all over Thailand. Ajahn Klang Seng will always exchange and seek guidance from all these practitioners who he has met during his stay in Cambodia. After a year of his journey in Cambodia, he begins to travels to Northern Part of Thailand which is Chiangmai to seek for higher guidance and knowledge of Buddhism and Magic practice from monks of the Northern Part.

    When his training has ended in Chiangmai, Ajahn Klang Seng went "Tudong" in the Jungles of Western Thailand (Kanchanaburi). He crossed the border into the realm of Marit(Burma), through the remote areas of Saesawoe and Bang Graenggawia; known during that time as being the thickest,darkest Jungle which is full of dangerous animal and unknown fevers. During his "Tudong" , he managed to come across a lot of practitioner and great gurus to gain and exchange knowledge of higher magic practice from them. After his "Tudong", he decided to travels to southern side of Thailand which is Songkhla to seek for a higher attainment of Buddhism and magical practice

  During his stay in a temple located in Hat Yai, he got to know from a few monk that a well-known monk is passing by the temple as this monk has just returned to Thailand from Malaysia. This great monk has a lot of believers not only from Thailand but from Malaysia and Singapore who is no other than Ajahn Jumnien of Wat Tham Suea located in Krabi Province. Ajahn Klang Seng decided to follow Ajahn Jumien to seek for the higher attainment of Buddhism and magic practice in Wat Tham Suea.  
While studying Buddhism and magical practice under the guidance of Ajahn Jumnien in Wat Tham Suea, Ajahn Klang Seng will also personally helps to repair and constructs of temples structure of Wat Tham Suea. During his studying under the guidance of Ajahn Jumnien for around 4-5 years, in order to obtain a higher attainment of perception, Ajahn Klang Seng prohibited himself from utter a single word for 10 years in the year of BE 2548.  

   Around the year of BE 2550,after finishing his journey in Wat Tham Suea, Ajahn Klang Seng has a strange feeling guiding him to Wat Pakko. Wat Pakko is the temple on top of the mountain where Luang Pu Thuad left the legendary crystal ball. Ajahn Klang Seng decided to stay and take a rest in Wat Pakko. While he was meditating during the second night of his stay in Wat Pakko, he met an old monk who was sitting on top of a sacred beast which looks like a dragon or cobra. The old monk told Ajahn Klang Seng "Someday soon you will inherit my wisdom".Just after Ajahn Klang Seng left Wat Pakko and headed towards a mountain, he came across a long abandoned temple. while he was exploring the temple, he came across a Chedi with a small Buddha Statue stated Somdej Chao Kor Yor. Somdej Chao Kor Yor is a famous Buddha and guardian of that mountain.  At the same night, while Ajahn Klang Seng was meditating in the Chedi, he met the old monk who he saw during his meditation in Wat Pakko. This old monk is no other than the great monk Luang Pu Thuad. Luang Pu Thuad told Ajahn Klang Seng to assist in repairing and recovering the structure of this temple as this abandoned temple was one of the temples where Luang Pu Thuad used to seek attainment before. From there on, Ajahn Klang Seng decided to take up the task of which has Luang Pu Thuad has given. 

   The very first batch of amulets that that was consecrated in BE 2549 by Ajahn Klang Seng was Somdej Chao Kor Yor using the methods taught by Ajahn Jumnien. Not long after releasing the first batch of Somdej Chao Kor Yor, he met Luang Pu Thuad during his meditation. After this incident, Ajahn Klang Seng started to craft and consecrate Luang Pu Thuad sitting on top of a Cobra. Due to Ajahn Klang Seng is not a well-known monk during that time, there is not much of response from villagers till a few miracle incident happened.

       One of the incidents which happened was, Pattani is a province which has regular bombing issues. There was a man who was one of the bomb squad members who stationed in Pattani, his family members are afraid to visit him due to regular bombing is always happening in Pattani so they can only have their family gathering in Hat Yai. During one occasion of a family gathering, the mother of this Bomb Squad member happened to come across the temple where Ajahn Klang Seng resided. When Ajahn Klang Seng got to know that the son of this mother is a great soldier who risks his life for the sake of the country, he felt very touched.
