Additional info:
LP Koon, the abbot of Wat Ban Rai, was born in 1923. He had just very recently left us at the age of 91. He was famous for his ritual of inserting gold takruts into the bodies of his numerous devotees. In 1993, LP Koon and his amulets achieved greater popularity after a woman clutching LP Koon’s amulet was pulled out alive from the rubble of a collapsed hotel. In Thai language, LP Koon’s name means “to multiply” - therefore his amulets and blessings are often associated with the multiplying of money and wealth. There are numerous stories of devotees who have attributed their lottery winnings to LP Koon’s amulets/blessings. LP Koon was often famously depicted in his signature squatting poses counting money or holding a cigar.
