Story of Khun Paen~

Legendary Khun Paen lived between 1491-1529. He is the legendary Ayuthaya warrior living some 450 years ago. His name later became the name of a kind of votive tablets found at Wat Bankrang, Suphanburi Province, about a century ago. Khun paen was born in Suphanburi Province (some 70 km. northwest of Bangkok) but grew up in the close bordered Kanchanaburi Province, where the world wide well-known "Bridge over River Kwai" situated.

He was a disciple of Archan Kong, a magic-expert guru monk, for magical studies. By his skillful fighting, he was appointed by the king to be Khun or a high ranking military officer.
His biography was far more extended and rather a story by poetic authors of the early Rattanakosin period.

Phlai Kaeo (who later is given the title, Khun Phaen), and Nang Phim Philalai (who later changes her name to Wanthong) are childhood friends in Suphanburi. Khun Phaen is handsome and intelligent, but poor because the king has executed his father and seized their property. He enters the monkhood as a novice to get educated, excelling at military skills and love magic.

He was a disciple of Archan Kong, a magic-expert guru monk, for magical studies.

Khun Chang is ugly and stupid, but rich and well-connected at the Ayutthaya court.
By age 15, Phim is the belle of Suphanburi. She meets Phlai Kaeo when putting food in his almsbowl at Songkran (Thai New Year). Sparks fly. They have a passionate affair, with him shuttling between the wat(Buddhist monastery) and her bedroom.

Khun Chang is also smitten by Wanthong. He competes for her using his wealth and status.
He offers to give her mother Phim's weight in gold. After Khun pean and Phim are married, Khun Chang maneuvers the king to send Phlai Kaeo on military service, and then claims he is dead. When Phlai Kaeo returns victorious, Khun Chang plots to have him banished from Ayutthaya for negligence on government service.

Phim (now Wanthong) resists Khun Chang. But when Phlai Kaeo (now Khun Phaen) returns from war with another wife, they have a jealous quarrel. Wanthong goes to live with Khun Chang, enjoying his devotion and the comforts afforded by his wealth.

When Khun Phaen's second wife, Laothong, is taken into the palace by the king, Khun Phaen regrets abandoning Wanthong. He breaks into Khun Chang's house at the dead of night and takes Wanthong away.

At first she is reluctant to leave her comfortable existence, but the passion rekindles, and they flee to an idyllic but frugal sojourn in the forest.

Khun Chang tells the king that Khun Phaen is mounting a rebellion. The king sends an army which Khun Phaen defeats, killing two of its officers. A warrant is issued for his arrest. When Wanthong becomes pregnant, Khun Phaen decides to leave the forest and give himself up. At the trial, the charges of rebellion are disproved, and Khun Chang is heavily fined.

Khun Phaen angers the king by asking for the release of Laothong. He is jailed, and festers in prison for around twelve years. Khun Chang abducts Wanthong and they again live together in Suphanburi.

Wanthong gives birth to Phlai Ngam, her son with Khun Phaen. When Phlai Ngam is eight, Khun Chang tries to kill him. Phlai Ngam escapes to live in Kanchanaburi with his grandmother who teaches him from Khun Phaen's library.

When the kings of Ayutthaya and Chiang mai quarrel over a beautiful daughter of the King of Vientiane, Phlai Ngam volunteers to lead an army to Chiang Mai, and successfully petitions for Khun Phaen's release. They capture the King of Chiang mai, and return with the Vientiane princess and a great haul of booty. Khun Phaen now gains status as the governor of Kanchanaburi . Phlai Ngam is appointed Phra Wai, an officer in the royal pages.

Khun Chang gets drunk at Phra Wai's wedding, and the old rivalry returns.
Phra Wai abducts Wanthong from Khun Chang's house, prompting Khun Chang to petition the king for redress.

At the subsequent trial, the king demands that Wanthong decide between Khun Chang and Khun Phaen. She cannot, and is dumb-struck. The king orders her execution. Phra Wai pleads successfully with the king for a reprieve, but the order arrives fractionally too late to avoid her execution.

Somdej Toh, Wat Rakhang

Somdej Pra Bhuddhachara Toh was the most famous and revered monk of the nineteenth century. He was born was born on the 17th April, B.E.2331, possibly the son of King Rama I

His family moved from Utradit province to Ayudhaya where at the age of 12 he was sent to Wat Intra Viharn to be ordained as a novice monk.

He was educated by Phra Boworn Virivanen, the then Abbot of Wat Banglumpoo

He was eventually to move to Wat Rakhang where he studied the Buddhist scriptures of the Pali cabon with several masters including Somdej Pra Buddha Kosacharm.

His dedication was duly noted by the then crown prince who presented him with a small gift of a little boat.

After becoming a well-known monk, he became the preceptor for Prince Mongkut, later King Rama IV, when Mongkut became a monk. During Rama IV's reign Somdej Toh was given the ceremonial name Phra Buddhacharn Toh Phromarangsi.

He was noted for the skill of his preaching and his use of Thai Poetry to reflect the beauty of Buddhism, and of course for making the now famous Somdej amulet.

Ranks of Somdej Phra Buddhachan Toh

1. In B.E.2395, aged 65, he was appointed by King Rama IV as “Pra Dharma Kitti”.

2. In B.E.2397, he was promoted to be “Pra Thepkravi”.

3. In B.E.2407, he was appointed as “Somdej Phra Buddhachan”, his highest rank, after the old Somdej Pra Buddhachan named “Soen”, who was the abbot of Wat Srakes, had passed away.

Somdej Toh was believed to have created 84,000 Phra Somdej as a symbol for the continuity of the Buddhist religion. He also commissioned the creation of the famous Phra Somdej Keschaiyo at Wat Ketchaiyo Woraviharn

Creation of Phra Somdej

1. A total of 84,000 pieces were created. The entire production process was overseen by Somdej Phra Buddhacharn Toh himself.

2. All amulets were created with his sacred power and mercy. Apart from reminding all worshippers of Lord Buddha’s virtue, the amulets also helped protect from dangers, evil and bad spiritual influences.

It was said, that at the age of 20 the king gave Somdej Phra Bhuddha Jarn Toh an official title of Narkluang (Someone who is in a process of being ordained as a Budhist priest). This was during the time when he was still at Wat Ta Krai in Pitsanulok. Eventually, Somdej Phra Bhuddha Jarn Toh became an abbot of Wat Rakang Kositaram and was promoted to the title of Somdej Pra Bhuddha Jarn. Somdej Phra Bhuddha Jarn Toh was highly intellectual and great in performing sermons. He is considered to be the most well known, respected, and beloved monk of the Thai people. He passed away in B.E. 2415 at the age of 85.

Somdej Phra Bhuddha Jarn Toh left with us his lasting legacy and his blessing to the people of Thailand with the Pra Somdej that was blessed by him and the top Buddhist masters of his time. There are several pim designs of Pra Somdej that were blessed by Phra Puttachan Toh. The one design that all serious collectors seek is the large pim, "Somdej pim yhai". This is considered to be the rarest and most expensive of all his pim designs. Other pim designs seem less attractive in comparison. For someone to find a large pim of Pra Somdej made by Somdej Pra Bhuddha Jarn Toh that is still in good condition is very difficult. In Thailand, a large Somdej is usually listed for $17,000,000.00 and as much as $40,000,000.00 Thai Baht. To get U.S. currency, simply divide by 34, the exchange rate.

Somdej Phra Bhuddha Jarn Toh would give a Phra Somdej to the Thai people everytime he was invited to important events, to bless a new home, or during a simple lunch invitation. Before giving out one of his Somdej, Somdej Phra Bhuddha Jarn Toh would give his blessing and tell the person accepting the Phra Somdej that this amulet would bless them with happiness and prosperity. It is known that the material for making a Pra Somdejs is comprised of shells, limestones, gold dust, Phong Vises ( holy powder), assorted flowers from a shrine, his left over rice from meals, lotus, bananas, ashes from celemonial incense, honey, tang oil, etc.
