Ajarn Loy - The Ultimate Master of Hun Payong

Long waiting to blog this. But no time to pen down this great master.

1. Top 10 krung Rang in the whole Thailand
2. Featured in most Krung Rang books including "Art of Siam"
3. Frequently referred to as the top and only real master of HPY maker

Who else? Not Ajarn Pee, Not Ajarn Cheong. Ajarn Loy. I am sure not many people heard about this master name unless you are really into Krung Rang collection. One of the key reason is the HPY made by him is just too rare in the market.

He made 300 HPY from 2500 to 2528. All hand made. And master passed away at the age of 74 in 2528. And this was distributed to only disciples and relatives. Not for public. What left now, probably less than 100. And those who owned it, probably will never let go as soon, it will go into museum.

Biography of Ajarn Loy:
Ajarn Loy was born in 2454 at northern thailand, Ayuthya. He become monk at the age of 20 years old ordained by lp phan of Wat saotong. After that he learned various wicha from different masters. One of the legendary masters LP Bien of Wat pongmi has taught Ajarn Loy the old way of making HPY. And at 2495, he become ajarn and went back to his home town to help villagers in curing black magic, resolving problems etc. Lots of devotees came to see him and he became a legendary master back then. 

Among all amulets made, the most famous is Hun Payong. Master use special straw to make it into human shape, mix with special formulated powder, pollen and under unique weather condition etc before tying it and chant. His hun payong is known as the top HPY in thailand due to the many efficacy. All this was recorded in thai amulet books. All HPY made has individual spirit (not spirit from human that passed on, but spirit form by nature, wind, earth,water, fire. that makes it so special.

And what is the purpose of HPY? Is this evil? It looks like black magic to me initially. But it is not. The purpose of HPY is to act as a replacement. Help wearer to block away danger, evil spirit, accident and black magic. And if you put it at home and pray, it helps you to look after your house, children. It helps to grow your business too. 

There are incident that a rich goldsmith in Thai owning a piece os Ajarn Loy HPY, whenever he goes lunch/dinner, even if he is alone, waiter always bring him double set. and also when he was away on holiday, neighbour said there is always someone at home. They don't even know that he is away.

This is just one of the many incidents recorded.

There are 4 type of Ajarn Loy HPY:

1. Pim lek: 1.5-2cm. Round head or semi-round
2. Pim Khlang: 2-2.5cm. Semi round head shape.
3. Pim Yai: 2.5-4cm. flat head.
