Ajarn Tong is resident in his samnak sak Talad Plu at Wat Pleng in Samut Prakarn
You can also catch him one month off and one month on in Singapore at the Fo Guang Hang Geomancy and Amulet centre. Ajarn Tong is an extremely friendly and likeable Master whose traditional bold line work has the look and feel of the traditional Sak yant tattoo in the tradition of LP Phern.

I shall be returning to post a google map of each of Ajarn Tongs locations in Thailand and Singapore, as well as the adress in Thai of Wat Pleng, and more fotos of his work when i have time.
If you wish for an economical price i advise to visit him in Thailand at wat Pleng, as the prices of Sak yant in Singapore are rather expensive (about the same as a modern tattoo in a European Studio!! and that without the sterilisation or hygiene!!). Singapore is currently experiencing sak yant fever And many entrepreneurs are acting as agents to invite hordes of Ajarn and Monks to come and make sak yant and sell amulets for really high prices. Don’t get me wrong, there are some genuine masters and samnak in Singapore (Ajarn Tong and Ajarn Lao for example), but there are also a lot of places where business is the main influence, and the Ajarn do not have much say in the payment which is in most cases made to the agents and not placed on a tray of offerings when approachiing the Ajarn. Money has always been the cause of the corruption of spiritual matters, and sak yant is no exception when it comes to the art of cashing in and jumping on gravy trains.
