Ayutthaya - Wat Pho Phakhai - LP Pichan


LP Pichan is famous for his handmade takrut.  He also made amulets with Leklai material that he extracted himself.  If you are looking for Phra Phitchai Songkram bucha to add on to your altar, do come down and look for him and have your bucha customised specially for you.

LP Pichan is currently soliciting funds for the construction of a new school and the money received from these customised Phra Phitchai Songkram buchas will be used for this project.  A great merits making not to be missed.  Do note that the Phra Phitchai needs to be kept at the temple for three months for blessing.

LP Pichan mentioned that his Leklai are not for sale, but he will give it to people who donated money for building the school. (I think min around 20k baht)

A very chatty and humorous monks that likes to treat devotees to coffee.  I had a great time listening and watching him describe how he harvested Leklai.

The same goes for the Phra Pidta
I paid 12000 baht as a deposit for Phra Phithai Songkram, the remaining 20000baht upon
collection three months later.  These money will be use for the school building funds.
The Phra Pidta rent is 15000baht.
