LP Hong is perhaps the most famous and powerful guru monk in Surin. His fame spreads to as far as Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong, with thousands of devotees. A master of Khmer magical arts, his life is full of legendary stories, as written before in various amulet magazines. However at the very old age of 93, his health has been getting weaker and weaker. Above we see the Phra Prom Gate of the Promakun Sala.

Hi wayne,
How long is the journey from bangkok to Wat petburi? Can take a cab?
Does Lp Hong temple have any Phra narai statue that we can bring back?
Thanks.
From BKK to Wat Petburi in Surin takes 8 hrs. No cab would go there. U got to hire a driver for 2 days. 1 day to go there and 1 day to come back. I remember seeing Phra Prom statue, but not Phra Narai.
