Quite a rare sight to see Wat bang Pra Sak yant Master LP Phaew on You Tube. So i thought i would post it here, for all to see this long standing Wat Bang Pra master from the Isan country who is strangely less photographed than many of the newer masters. This is most definitely influenced by the fact that LP Phaew hides himself on a balcony behind the LP Phern mausoleum, and his humble attitude is also an influencing factor that he is less covered in the media than some masters. This was not the case ten years ago and more, because there werent as many masters in that time, and most of the looksit were Thai, and were attracted to LP Phaew and LP Pant in great numbers. Older magazines and news articles always featured these two monks whenever sak yant was the subject.

A gallery slideshow (scroll down the page to view), of Sak yant by Sak yant dot com’s favourite Master, and my personal Kroo ba Ajarn who was the first Master to be kind enough to initiate me into the mysteries of Sak Yant. It has been a while since i gave Hlwong Pi Pant some exposure, and i feel that he deserves reviewing since so many people have come to enjoy sak yant, i believe that perhaps some people have never had the chance to see what he is made of. LP Pant my good friend and Master is for me the most compassionate of all Masters i have met to this day. And is unequalled still in his expertise in whacking out sak yant with such fluency. His great kindness, friendliness, compassion and jolly disposition is always a refreshing and inspiring experience which leaves you with magical memories of a day in your life well spent with a pure hearted Monk whose simplicity despite of great mastery and power is so difficult to encounter in this day and age.
Long may he be here for us to recieve his blessings. LP Pant is the Wat bang Pra monk whose tattooing is most similar in style and mood to those of the Great Master of all time himself Hlwong Por Phern, who i beieve Hlwong Pi pant to be his most loving disciple and apprentice. LP pant is a piece of living sak yant history and a Legend in his own right!

You should get a taxi from the Hmor Chid station at best.. try to haggle for 2000 baht there and back with no meter.It will cost about 2400 with the meter.

Wai Kroo Master day at Wat bang Pra was in the free publication “Daily Express”. It got a 2 page article which you can see by clicking on the thumbnails. A short and relatively uninformative article (doesnt even use the word sak yant once!), calling sak yant “Tattoo Shields”, and “Holy tattoo”
I personally was pleased to see coverage but found it a bit pointless to document something in such a short and non-detailed manner – because there are meany more interesting articles on the www in various forums and blogs which leave this article standing
