Luang Poo Yiam was one of the famous Thailand monks who had departed at age 94 in the year BE 2469 on 29 of April. He was one of the highest respectable monk that had won the hearts of many Thai people during those period of time where he had served as a Thai monk. During the reign of the 3rd King Regime, Luang Poo Yiam was born on 5 of August BE 2375 in Bangkok. He had attended school at the age of 9 and further his studies in Wat Bowan when he reached age 11. He continued to pursue his education in Wat RahtBurRaNa. Reaching the age of 19, Luang Poo Yiam had ordained as a novice monk at Way Nang.

At Wat RahtOhRaSahRahm, Luang Poo Yiam had became a Thai monk at age 22. During that period, is preceptor was Pra SutTuMaTeRa (Gert) and his Dhamma teachers were Pra TamMaJaDee (Jeen) and Pra Ah Jahn Rort, Wat Nang Norng. He had learnt and mastered Dhamma under the education from Pra PahWaNahGohSon(Rort), Pra TamMaJaDee and Pra SangWonWeMon(Men). He was very keen in his studies as he pursued them and soon was promoted as Pra BaikiGah (monk title) and subsequently became Pra PaLatTahNuKrom (monk title).

We like to share the special Kathah that he had left with us and this is called Kathah ItTiPiSoh Rian Dteui:

"It Ti Pi Soh We Se Se It

It Se Se Put Tat Nah Me It

It Me Nah Put Tat Dta Soh It

It Soh Dta Put Tat Pi Dti It"

Luang Poo Yiam was ordained as a monk and was given the name as Jow Koon Dtow. He was popular with making of Thai amulets during his lifetime as a monk. Among those Thai amulets, the most popular ones were the Kreung Rahng (known to have magical powers) and the rian amulets. These rian amulets happened to be one of the collector's amulets and it was a series of BenJaPahKeeRian. This was said to be the Great Five Rians.
