Pay my respect to Venerable Luang Phor ChanNai Chanthasaro. His legend of Wicha Headless Tiger Yants is very powerful and has followers all over the country and oversea.
LP ChanNai ~ SerHawTaek "headless tiger yantra" Wat Sangkha Pridi, Khon Kean province - Thailand. LP ChanNai learnt this katha from the originator of the headless tiger incantations. In the old days the police as well as the Mafia would get the headless tiger tattooed with the aim to become dominant and unstoppable. The police told the original master that he must stop preforming this tattoo as they believed he was empowering the Mafia at that time in Chonburi. These amulets and Sakyants to keep those people who have a dangerous life in safe and make them powerful. This talisman is not for the one who starts abusing the power. A group of thieves who well-known for robbery and murder who abused the power until the police can't catch them. The knives, guns, various crossbows does not irritate the skin when the police catch them. Finally until with help from wicha talisman, these thieves been caught and kill. When the police caught this group of thieves and opened his shirt and looked at his chest, all appears have tattoos on their body like “ Headless tiger tattoo “.

Find out that the monk who tattooed this headless tiger pattern is from LP Chao, Abbot of Wat Khao Nang Nom, Chonburi Province. Therefore police asked LP Chao to stop tattooing. When the Father heard Father then went to pay respects to him. After this LP ChanNai went to pay respects to LP Chao in Chonburi to study this powerful incantation. And LP ChanNai was asked to be his student and learnt about this knowledge at his temple. However, to get this headless tiger yant will leads you to do good things, will have a positive effect on that person. But if you get a this yant and to do bad things with  hot-tempered or act tough and no mercy on people. Of course, you'll get bad results as well. Also you will be protected, invulnerable, elusive, prosperous and good luck with people love and respect. LP ChanNai, who is very compassionate to his disciples and is also a monk who practices well in various magic knowledge.

The side building with venerated statues of Mae Thorani, Tao Wessuwan, 2 Tigers brothers (with one headless tiger) and Hermit Sermingpai.
The story for Headless Tiger is around a thousand years ago, there were 2 tigers who were brothers, elder brother "Pai" and younger brother "Ka". However, Ka was interested in learning bad spells, often harm others and does not contribute to good deeds. As a brother, Pai pleaded god for help as he wants to save Ka by stopping him from bringing harm to others and doing the bad deeds. God told Pai, in order to save his brother, he have to cut off Ka's head, so that he will repent and learn from his mistakes. Pai had to do it in order to stop his brother from harming others. Kai did not allowed it but finally realized that God and his brother was helping him. 

He then cut off his head which disabled himself from seeing, hearing, biting and as such he was not able to bring harm to others. After which Kai learnt from his lesson and did not allow his brother to put his head back in order to stop him from bringing harm in the future. So Kai the headless tiger comprehend it, and finally God gave Kai the ability to hear. This gave Kai the opportunity to help others, even for the good or the bad as he does not have the ability to see but he was satisfied as long as he could help. As such lots of devotees tattoo-ed the headless tiger, as they believe that it will help them to bring in wealth and luck in sort of various business.
