LUANG PHOR KRAI (KLAI) @ PHOR THAN KRAI, WAT SUAN KAN (BE 2419-2513)

(THE GOLDEN TONGUE MONK)

Phor Than Krai (Luang Phor Krai) is a highly revered monk and is well known and fanous not
only in Thailand but also in Malaysia and Singapore. (I was very fortunate to have met him twice with my parents,once when he was visiting Penang and another time when we visited Nakorn Si Thammarat). It was said that whatever he spoke or predicted, very often came true, and that's why he was known as the monk with the "Golden Tongue"

When he was about 13 years old, he followed his father to gather and chop firewood (in those days, in Thailand, including Malaysia used to burn firewood over the clay stove for cooking) and as he was helping his father to chop one of the trees, the tree fell towards his direction and injured his left leg. Phor Than Krai thought that it was a minor injury, hence, he did not bother to seek for medical treatment, however, it took for the worse and his leg was infected and later developed into gangrene , the pain was unbearable; and he couldn't rake the torture anymore, he then took a sharp knife and chopped off part of his left leg. When the neighbours found out what happened, they were shocked, theythen when and look for the herbs to stopped the bleeding, later they found a herbalist who was able cure him.

With only able to only stand and walk on one leg, he was having great difficulties in moving around, was almost immobile (he often travelled around on water buffalo to aid his mobility) , at that time, he has to assist his family by bring water from the wells to the house (in those days, people living in the villages did not have supply of water from the pipes and has to get the water from the wells by drawing it up by using water buckets). Due to this disability and being partially handicapped, he decided to enter the holy life and was ordained as a novice monk at the age of 15, and at the young age of 26, he became abbot of his temple.

THE LEGEND

He became very popular in Thailand because he was able to predict what will happen to that person and/or event and it usually happens (this is a psychic power (abinnya) known an clairvoyance); moreover he was able to predict the lottery numbers, not only in his own country but also in Malaysia and Singapore, because of this huge number of Malaysians and Singaporeans will flock to see him and request for lottery number(s).

I had to relate to you a true experience, I was about 5 to 6 years old when I had a very high fever, those days, our family was in Kedah in the early 60s, there was only a few medical practitioner and at that time, my father was in Penang and had driven the car, my mother gave me several panadols to eat and yet the fever was not going down; my fever lasted until the third day, she panicked and was looking for a solution, she then remembered that when she visited Phor Than Krai, he gave my mother some of the chewed betel leaves (sireh) and told her to keep it and only use it in the event of any dangers. She put the betel leaves in my mouth, I chewed and ate it....after about 2 to 3 hours, my fever went down and was back to normal. (I attribute this miracle to save my life to this legendary monk).
