Ajarn Kob is located north of Lum Phli area on the north side of Ayutthaya
Ajarn Kob studied under Ajarn Hluong Poo Nie, and applies sak-yant to women also.
His work is from the “old school” tradition and artistically detailed. The only change is the use of a steel needle tip on the long tool is used instead of bamboo. The person who sent this info commented that he found that this is far less painful than bamboo. In my experience i find that sak yant made with needles doesnt hurt as much as the Khai Pla/Bpag Chalaam style of spikes, but that the skin may bruise a bit the first few days afterwards. The worl will be finer lines and more detailed if made with needles as Ajarn Kob does.
He will treat you with respect and kindness even if you (a farang), can not speak Thai.
Sak Yant prices are on the average 200 BHT each.

We went to see Ajarn Kob this morning and my girlfriend ended up getting a tattoo after chatting about them for a bit. He is a really lovely man and we will be going again. He did a really beautiful job on it.
Thanks for giving your feedback on this Master – i am hearing plenty of nice comments on his friendliness and warm welcome..
Congratulations on your pleasant experience and on recieving sak yant from Ajarn Kob (pronounced “Gop”, meaning frog)
by the way….
i don’t suppose you took any fotos you could donate to us for his page did you?
Or you could even get an author account here if you wish to post your story and experiences.. .. comment here if you wish to submnit any pics or story.
the work from ajarn Kob is indeed very well made; i am impressed with his work. i shall see if i can get his page a bit reordered and add more info soon i am not able to come online too much right now as i am stuck working in Malaysia and little time.. but i promise to get a better page together for Ajarn Kob as soon as i get acess to a decent internet connection.
Thanks Ajarn Kob’s page is looking better. Can the photos from the other forum posts be transferred too?
I dropped off an “English Translation of Ajarn Louong Poo Nie’s Book of Sak Yant” for Ajarn Kob.
I what to thank Mr. Littlewood for the extra knowledge and my Thai wife Tanika (Patti) for translating the Thai and making this translation happen for Ajarn Kob.
Now foreigners,(farangs) who read “English” can read about the Sak yants available, what the cost are, and what each Sak yant represents. This will aid “those of us that don’t speak much Thai” and make the experience more comfortable, which is also what Ajarn Kob wanted. Thanks again.

yes i am now working on it.
I have been offline for 3 weeks working in Kuala Lumpur in tattoo studio.. now i have a couple of days back in singapore to edit the page for you.
after one day in singapore i found out we were to have no internet again as we had to move house…
nowe im stuck in Malaysia also no internet at home or at work, so have so little time to work on the web now.. which is very frustrating.. although actually the www had done nothing excvept to cost me hundreds and thousands of hours work and no pay.. so i choose the option of working now as at least i can make some money, and hope to get an internet connection within a month or so at the apartment .. then i will be back publishing a lot again.
Sorry to all for my absence – i shall try to spend more time on this page when i can
I’m planning a trip to Ayutthaya with my friend early next month. Could anybody please translate the address of Ajarn Kob’s samnak into Thai so we can give it to a taxi driver? I hope to receive some yant so will obviously post up pics if I do.
