About LP Thongyip

Luang Por Thongyip was born on Thursday, October 31, 1929, in Ban Klang, Village No. 3, Nong Mae Kai Subdistrict, Pho Thong District, Ang Thong Province. His father’s name was Jiam Boonphong, and his mother’s name was Thongsuk Boonphong. He completed his primary education at Wat Sontittham School in Ang Thong Province. He was selected for military service but did not serve, as he drew a black card. In 1951, he ordained as a monk at Wat Ban Klang under the guidance of:

1. Phra Kru Panyasarakanee of Wat Saweangha, who served as his preceptor
2. Luang Por Bieang of Wat Hua Sakae Tok, who was his mentor
3. Phra Prong of Wat Saweangha, who was his teaching monk.

He received instruction in sacred arts from his father, ajahn Jiam, who passed down various occult teachings, including the creation of powerful amulets. Luang Por Thongyip used his knowledge to help the people and contribute to the growth of Wat Ban Klang, such as building a new ordination hall and completing the foundation stones in 2008, at a cost of 8 million baht. He was a humble, kind, and approachable monk, known for treating all visitors equally, regardless of social class. Many would come to him for blessings and rituals to reverse bad fortune, which were believed to be highly effective.

Luang Por Thongyip passed away peacefully on April 13, 2016, at 1:35 PM, at the age of 88.

His talismans are so powerful that they are said to be “so strong that not even insects can draw blood.”

Due to their high demand, each batch of amulets is never enough for all his disciples. Here are a few stories of their miraculous power:

The Story of Thongyip’s Amulet and the Knife

This event occurred over 20 years ago during the longboat racing tradition in Ang Thong Province. A famous boat from Wiset Chai Chan District, Ang Thong Province, had a rower named “Thit Saem Pamok” (nicknamed Pamok because of his love for body tattoos). After the race, a brawl broke out. Thit Saem was slashed on his shoulder by a sword, but miraculously, the blade did not pierce his skin, leaving only a slight mark. Thit Saem attributed his survival to his body tattoos and the amulets from Luang Por Thongyip of Wat Ban Klang and Wat Don Rak in Ang Thong Province.

Thit Saem, later ordained as Phra Kru Viboon Achanakoon, known as Luangphor Kasem Achanasuphō of Wat Muang Charoentham, built the largest Buddha statue in the world, with a base of 1 rai and 14 ngarn (about 1.5 acres). Though Luang Por Kasem has since passed away, his body remains miraculously undecayed and is enshrined in a glass coffin for the public to pay their respects at Wat Muang Charoentham.

The Story of the Brave Boy from Suphanburi

A young man from Suphanburi, who deeply revered Luang Por Thongyip, always carried his amulet. Luangphor had once told him that as long as he wore the amulet, no knife or bullet could harm him, but he must not curse anyone’s parents or pass under banana trees, or the amulet would lose its power for the day. One day, he encountered two rivals who attacked him. Though they slashed at him with knives and shot at him, neither weapon could harm him. His rivals, though armed, were terrified and eventually fled when the young man swung his amulet (a 5-inch lead amulet with a copper core) at them. He recalled Luang Por’s advice: “When facing an opponent, if it’s a man, hold it on the right; if it’s a woman, hold it on the left. Stand your ground if facing them head-on, but if they come in a group, run. If you’re cornered, take off the talisman and use it to hit them on the head.”
