Pathum Thani - Wat Phra Yayang - My Home Temple - NEW !


This is my home temple - Wat Phra Yayang.  Fate brought us together and everytime I go back there I felt I'm growing up with the temple, I've learnt so much from Phra Maha Lertsak and will continue my efforts in raising the building funds for the Viharn.


Wat Phra Yayang conducts meditation class.  For anyone who is interested in learning, Wat Phra Yayang conducts two classes daily - 1.30pm and 6.00pm.  Teaches "Breathing" method of meditation that helps to purify your body and soul.  "Walking" and "Standing" meditation classes for the intermediate learners are also available.  If you are keen to stay for days, weeks or months the temple provides simple accomodation as well.  Do contact me in the "comments" if you are interested to learn more about meditation.


About Wat Phra Yayang's Chief monk - Phra Maha Lertsak Vongchaiya
Phra Maha Lertsak Vongchaiya was borned in BE 2515, Ubon Ratchathani.  He ordained as a monk when he was 13 years old.   Phra Maha Lertsak lived and studied in India for seven years, Bangkok - Wat Phra Yayang for seven years, Alaska for two years (Buddhist Missionary).

In year BE 2552, Phra Maha Lertsak started Wat Phra Yayang at Pathum Thani, For the next five years he became the chief monk for Wat Phra Yayang in Pathum Thani; residing in the premises that belongs to Wat Phra Yayang Bangkok.  Phra Maha Lertsak started to lead and manage to raise funds of 7 million baht to purchase a piece of land beside the old temple.

The rest of the journey you may read from my journal

I am currently raising funds to build it's Viharn to house Buddha Parami as well as a huge fifteen metres tall Phra Chinnarat for Wat Phra Yayang.  If you are interested to be part of this great merits making, do support by renting some of my amulets collection.  Otherwise any token of donation is very much appreciated.  All donation received will be provided with proof of receipts from the temple.

Saraburi - Wat Khon Cha-Ngok - LP Leua


LP Leua is well known in South East Asia for his Takrut.  Having high expectation, every piece of his takrut are carefully hand written and made.

Definitely not an easy job as every single piece of takrut needs to be chanted while hand written and some can only be written on specific day and time.



Recommendation *****








Takrut Maharangap - 5 inch

Takrut Maharangap - 12 inch, made 16 pieces only

Every piece coded
