Luang Pho Pae (Phra Dhammamuni Pae Khemangaro Por Thor 5) was born in the year of the dragon, on the 1.1.1905 (B.E. 2448) in the village Suankluay, Moo 8, part of town of Tornsamor, circle of Bhromburi, province of Singburi. He was the fourth child of Mr and Mrs Nuay (mother) and Tien Chaimankong.
At the age of 11 years he started to learn the Thai language in word and writing in Wat Pikulthong. He finished his studies afterwards with Luang Pho Pom Chantasuwanno.
His uncle, Bun Khamwibul, and his stepfather afterwards brought him to Luang Pho Som, a cambodian (Khmer) monk, in Wat Chanasongkram Bangkok where he learnt the Pali for 1 year. Then he studied the Pali grammar in Wat Mahathatyuwaratrangsarit, Bangkok.
On Thursday 12th of April, 1920 (B.E. 2468), in the year of the monkey, Luang Pho Pae entered as a novice in Wat Pikulthong which became 1940 main temple of the province Singburi. His mentor was the venerable abbot of Wat Pikulthong, Luang Pho Parn. He ordained on the 21.4.1926 (B.E. 2474), it was the year of the tiger, in Wat Pikulthong.
In 1931 the parishioners of Wat Pikulthong asked Luang Pho Pae for the return in his home municipality and the takeover of the office as abbot.
Luang Pho Pae corresponded to the request, nevertheless, at the same time he decided to study in psychology, magic and the herbology to be able to better help the believers and to be able to develop the temple. At that time the herbology or also homoeopathy was a very important component of the abilities of a monk, because these often substituted also for the doctor and were alternative medicine healers.
He reached the perfection of his education in psychology and magic by his study with the at that time very famous and on the highest honoured Luang Pho Si, abbot of Wat Praprang in Singburi. Luang Pho Si was called with full monk name "Phra Kru Sriwiriyasopit" (Si Chaya Gesaro). Under instructions of Luang Pho Si, Luang Pho Pae developed his first amulet and his own blessing formulae (consecrating, singing /praying). In 1939 (B.E.2482) Luang Pho Pae produced his first amulet: the Phra Glee Bua and Waen Chaai Ying (man-woman-ring). It did not last long and Luang Pho Pae was nationally known for his amulets (later also overseas).
Since ever his amulets are known for it and it is seen as proved that they have an especially big protective effect and give to the owner a lot of luck.
Unfortunately, Luang Phor Pae passed away at the age of 94 years on the 11.2.1999 (B.E.2542) He was a monk for more than 70 Phansa. Their Majesties king Bhumibol (Rama 9) from Thailand and queen Sirikit took over personally the patronage for the funereal ceremony and combustion ceremony!
