Lp Toh wat Pradoochimplee

Lp Toh Intasuwano was born on 27 March 2430 in Ban Klong Nang Noi, Jangwat Samutsongkram (near Bangkok) to Khun Loy and Khun Tub Ruttanakon.

When he was 13, his parents passed away, and a relative named Lp Kaew sent him to Wat Pradoochimplee where he learnt under Lp Suek. He studied dhamma under the then abbot, LP Phrom. He was ordained as a novice when he was 17, but unfortunately LP Suek passed away a day after the ordination. At that time, Khun Klai and Khun Pun (relatives of LP Suek) helped to support LP Toh until he was 20, when he was ordained as a monk on 16 July 2450 by LP Saeng of Wat Paknam.

At the age of 26, he succeeded LP Kum who resigned from abbot position of Wat Pradoochimplee. He got to know LP Sodh of Wat Paknam, and they became close friends. Through the introduction of LP Pan of Wat Bangnonko (Ayudhya), he went to study magical science under Lp Nong.

A close follower of LP Toh revealed that every time he was invited to a ceremony he would touch the sacred thread, and incredibly would know the strength of the magic power, if the power was strong he would enquire as to who created the sacred thread in order to learn further.

Whenever there were ceremonies such amulet chanting, fund raising etc, LP Toh would be invited, because by nature of hearing that he is invited, many people will come and give support.

Besides the general public, the present King of Thailand and the royal family respected Lp Toh very much too. One can see from many photographs of the royal family had taken with Lp Toh.

In BE2463, Lp chanted the first batch of amulets made of Nur Phong. The most popular pim from this batch is the Pra Somdej KaToh , which is very rare and expensive now. Since that time, Lp Toh continue to chant many batches of amulets of many types, such as Phra Pidta, Somdej, Roop Meuan and Rians etc. All Lp Toh’s amulets are very well-proven to be able to protect people from accidents and hardship.

He remained as the Abbot of the temple until his death on 5 March 2524. Lp Toh was succeeded by LP Virojana-kittikun, who is the present abbot.
