Group photo taken with the famous Ajarn Pachuab, the successor of the late Ajarn Khun Phan. Now he is the No 1 white-robe master in Pattalung and Southern Thailand. One of our members was there to go through a luck changing ritual. The rest of us just took a flower bath at AJ's house.

Ajarn Prasoot of Wat Naidao
A video of the surroundings at the cave temple Wat Naidao, Trang. This is the temple of the famous Ajarn Prasoot, who has learned Wicha from from great guru monks. He has recently been promoted to the rank of Phra Kru.
