Ayutthaya - Wat Bang Nom Kho - LP Parn

Wat Bang Nom Kho is a Buddhist temple in Sena district, Ayutthaya Province, Thailand. The temple was made famous by one of Thailand's Gaeji Ajarn high monks, Luang Pho Parn, who was renowned for his blowing of the sacred Diamond Armour Yantra, (or Yant, onto the forehead of his disciples). According to legend, many of these disciples, after death, were found to have an impression of the Yant mysteriously embedded into their skull.

The Yant was allegedly revealed to Luang Pho Parn in a dream, which led him to its discovery on a metal template hidden within a Chedi. Luang Pho Parn was also reputed to have received the ability to make powder based amulets of Buddha images sitting on animals from a Chee Ba Khaw, (a spirit that appeared as a firefly). These amulets are extremely sought after and expensive due to their reputed powers.


Address:  Bang Nom Kho, Sena, Phranakhon Sri Ayutthaya 13110 Thailand
Opening hours:  The temple is open from 8.00am - 5.00pm.
