Luang Pu was obtained as a novice monk in 15th July BE2510. Luang Pu Boon Song was born in a very poor family and was brought up just like any normal human being who has gone through the good and bad deeds of mankind. During his monkshood, he has suffered difficulties of hardship like starvation for food and assassination of his life. 
   
  Luang Pu Boon Song practiced Buddhism and magic practice under the guidance of Luang Pu Waen Sujnno (Wat Doi Mae Pang)who was from the direct lineage of Ajahn Mun under the Thai forest monk tradition. During his stay with Luang Pu Waen, he was greatly impressed and inherited great wisdom and knowledge of Dharma from Luang Pu Waen's teaching. It is believed that it's a great honor and merits to serve under a highly attained monk. During his stay under the guidance of Luang Pu Waen, he encounters many great gurus and managed to gain and exchange knowledge of Dharma teaching.

  After his guidance under Luang Pu Waen Sujnno, Luang Pu Boon Song resided back to Wat Santiwanaram. Back then, a small monastery that stayed by quite a number of venerable monks resided previously. LP Boon Song is now guiding the monks and folks abide the rules and discipline of Buddhism.

  His words of wisdom are ' As a monk, we should not take advantage of believers who provide us our meal & water as we do not stay in the temple for the sake of food, rest but to reassurance that our believers rewarded with good karma for their efforts in our sincere ritual praying.'
