“Phra Mongkolwaropkarn,” or “Luang Por Chamnarn Uttamapanyo,” is the abbot of Wat Chinwararam Worawihan (a royal temple) in Mueang District, Pathum Thani Province. He is a well-known and respected monk in Pathum Thani and is famous in the present era. He has always practiced good discipline and is kind and compassionate toward his disciples.

Since his childhood, Luang Por Chamnarn’s life was closely connected with Wat Bangkudi Thong, as his home was nearby. It could be said that he spent most of his early life in the temple, where he served “Luang Pu Surin Rewato (Phra Kru Pathumthammanusit),” the abbot of Wat Bangkudi Thong at that time. Luang Pu Surin grew to love and care for him from a young age.

After completing his compulsory primary education, Luang Pu Surin had him ordained as a novice at the age of 14. As a novice, Luang Por Chamnarn served closely with Luang Pu Surin, learning various practices and teachings from him. Luang Pu Surin himself had studied the Mon esoteric arts from his teacher, particularly from “Phra Ramanmuni of Wat Bang Luang, Pathum Thani Province.” Luang Por Chamnarn inherited these teachings directly from Luang Pu Surin.

From a young age, Luang Por Chamnarn was interested in magical arts and sacred tattoos, learning from both monks skilled in esoteric practices and lay experts. After his full ordination, he traveled to the Mon region of Burma to further his studies. There, he met and conversed with “Luang Por Uttama Saro,” a highly respected Mon monk known for his magical abilities, revered by both Mon and Burmese people. Luang Por Chamnarn, of Mon descent, continued to pass on the esoteric traditions of Phra Ramanmuni from his novice years. He mastered Khmer script, the Mon language, and studied under many teachers, both monks and laypeople, learning ancient texts and mantras passed down by his mentors until he became highly proficient.

Anyone who visits him at the temple will see that the images behind where he sits are of the teachers who imparted their knowledge to him. Luang Por Chamnarn highly values the virtue of gratitude, which he sees as a key moral principle, a hallmark of a good person and someone worthy of admiration. Gratitude, paired with repaying kindness, is a fundamental virtue. “Gratitude” means recognizing good deeds, and “repaying kindness” means finding ways to reciprocate those deeds. As he often recites, “Gratitude is paramount, a principle that all good people possess. Repaying kindness according to one’s ability shows a heart steadfast in gratitude.”

One of the qualities that endears him to his disciples is his deep love and support for them. He is known to help his disciples to the best of his ability. As he frequently tells them, “Teachers never abandon their students; it is only the students who forget or leave their teachers. If a student remembers their teacher, the teacher will never abandon them but help them until the end.”

Luang Por Chamnarn is skilled in the arts of sacred tattoos and the making of takruts (amulets). He learned from Ajarn Yu, a disciple of Luang Por Chong of Wat Natangnok, Ayutthaya. Ajarn Yu once told Luang Por that if he wanted to master this sacred knowledge, he must look at a decaying corpse and perceive it not as a rotten body but as a neutral object, like a piece of wood. This practice helped calm and steady his mind. Today, despite technological advancements, Luang Por lives without television or radio.

It is well known among his disciples that his sacred objects and amulets have shown miraculous powers, helping many people both within Thailand and abroad. Initially, Luang Por served as the abbot of Wat Bangkudi Thong, located not far from Wat Chinwararam. Since he became the abbot of Wat Bangkudi Thong in 1996, he has restored the entire temple and constructed many permanent structures, which still stand majestically today. He also actively promotes education for monks, novices, and laypeople, providing scholarships for students of all ages continuously.

In 2015, he became the abbot of Wat Chinnawararam Worawihan, he received the order of the Supreme Patriarch to assume the position of abbot of Wat Chinnawararam Worawihan (Royal temple), which is an ancient temple, the first royal temple of Pathum Thani Province. It is a temple of His Royal Highness Prince Chinnaworasiriwat, the Supreme Patriarch, the former abbot of Wat Ratchabophit Sathit Maha Simaram. He initiated the development and renovation of the entire temple.
