Phor Than Klai is a famous monk from the South. Legend has it that whatever Phor Than Klai said or predicted always came true. Thus, he was given the title “Golden Mouth” (Wajasit).
When he was 14 years old, he was chopping trees for firewood with his uncle. A tree he was chopping fell towards him and his left leg was squashed. Phor Than Klai thought it was nothing more than just a small injury and did not seek medical attention. But the injury didn’t heal and eventually it became worse. His left ankle swelled greatly, the pain was unbearable and he got gangrene. It couldn’t be cured.
Because he couldn’t bear the pain anymore, Phor Than Klai took a sharp knife and cut off his bad ankle. Someone found out and immediately looked for herbs to help him to stop the bleeding. A medicinal healer was found and his amputation was treated.
But Phor Than Klai had trouble walking and usually used a water buffalo to get around. Due to this, he become less mobile and decided to become a monk. At the age of 15 he was ordained and by the age of 26 he became the temple abbot at Wat Chan Di (or Wat Tatt Noi)
Around 60 years ago, Phor Than Klai had made a batch of Jatukam amulets. He had two students and one of them was Khun Phantharak Rajjadej. The size of his Jatukam amulets were bigger than they are today. Amulets made by Phor Than Klai are very collectable and expensive as Phor Than Klai was one of the highest ranked monks and is still very famous in Thailand.
During that time, Phor Than Klai become one of the King’s most respected monks. He passed away in 1970 (B.E.2513) at the age of 94. Mysteriously, after he died they tried to burn his body a few times but nobody could burn it. The King himself tried it but he could only burn one of his toes. Phor Than Klai’s body is still intact and present or viewing at Wat That Doi in Nakhon Si Thammarat.
