Wat Lampan In Kedah Malaysia.

The passing of the great Phra Khru Sophonkichathorn (Than Ren), Wat Lampam. Phra Khru Sophonkichathorn (Than Ren) was the abbot of Wat Lampam. Sad to say that 'Than Ren' of Wat Lampam passed away on 3 April 2009. He was 81 years old with 60 years of monkhood. My deepest respect to the great 'Than Ren' of Wat Lampam. Heart-rending farewell. Below, see the full post of photos taken during my last visit to Wat Lampam.Last January (2009) i visited Wat Lampam, Kg. Lampam Kedah with my friends after we left Wat Phothichetiyaram.

Wat Phothicetiyaram In Kedah Malaysia.

After Luang Phor Tuad passed away in Kg. Sawa-Gerik Perak, the body of LP Tuad had been carried back from Kg. Sawa to Wat Changhai, Pattani Thailand. Along the way, where ever the 'yellow fluid' dropped from the body of LP Tuad, they would build a land marking by setting up 'wood column' as sign of good luck for those came for praying.Wat Phothicetiyaram was they stop-over point no.4. This is the temple gate of Wat Phothicetiyaram (Wat Thung Kwai). This temple address is KG. CHINA, MK. PDG. KERBAU, PENDANG, KEDAH.

This is the 'wood column' of Wat Phothicetiyaram, a friendly helper showed me the location.According to history, when Phor Than Phrom (Abbot of Wat Phikuntararam at Pedu town) was young, he was the one that actually brought Archan Tim or 'Phrakru Visaisophon' (whom had raised up the famous name of Wat Changhai of LP Tuad amulets to the whole regions) to visit all the 'wood column' at different places, for the purpose of getting soil from all the locations as the raw material for making amulet of LP Tuad.

This is the closeup view of the sacred 'wood column'.

This is the Grand Stupa (Phra Chaidi Pagoda) that house the 'Arthi' (ash or bone) of Luang Phor Tuad, which was brought back by the local follower from Wat Changhai after the cremation ceremony. Local folks also called this temple Wat Thung Kwai and is located at 'Ban Thung Kwai' or Kampung Cina.
