Biography of Luang Pu Yeam (Wat Sam Ngam)
Luang Pu Yeam (Phra Kru Payut Navakan) was born on January 5, B.E. 2458 (1915) in Don Tum District, Nakhon Pathom Province. His birth name was Yeam Dejmak.
He entered the Buddhist monkhood on May 2, B.E. 2481 (1938) at Wat Sam Ngam. His ordination ceremonies were officiated by respected preceptors, notably including Luang Phor Tae Kongthong, who was then the abbot of Wat Sam Ngam.
Luang Pu Yeam became the closest and most direct disciple of Luang Phor Tae (the legendary "King of Kuman Thong"). He strictly inherited the authentic, orthodox methods of molding, empowering, and consecrating Kuman Thong and sacred amulets according to Wat Sam Ngam's traditional white magic lineage.
Following Luang Phor Tae's passing, Luang Pu Yeam took over as the abbot of Wat Sam Ngam, carrying on its proud spiritual traditions. He became one of Thailand's most revered senior guru monks, famous for his deep meditative practices, protective amulets, and powerful Kuman Thong.
He passed away peacefully on August 27, B.E. 2560 (2017) at the remarkable age of 102 (79 monastic years), leaving behind a legendary legacy in Thai amulet history.
