Sacred Thai talisman by The RosaryTMK

Wat Nangnai Thammikaram, also known as Wat Nangnai, was established around 1850 by a consort of King Rama III as a dedication to royal merit. The temple was granted Wisung Kham Sima (the ecclesiastical boundary for ordination ceremonies) in 1910 and has undergone significant restoration since 1925 during the time of Preceptor Num Thammaramo (Luang Pho Num, the abbot). The ordination hall (U-bo-sod) retains its original style due to careful maintenance, with a major renovation taking place in 1963. The temple also features an important structure called Hor Burapha Jarn, which houses artifacts and photographs of Luang Pho Num and other revered teachers, deeply respected by the local community. 

Around 1910, on the banks of the Noi River in San Chao Rong Thong Sub-district, Wiset Chai Chan District, Ang Thong Province, Mr. Chuen Kid Yee began establishing a small gold shop under the shade of a grand tamarind tree, believed to be imbued with the power of nature. Despite having only a few tools, he crafted invaluable masterpieces, earning him the name “The Goldsmith Beneath the Tamarind Tree”.

Now in the hands of the fourth generation, who have inherited the true spirit of goldsmithing for over 100 years, they have absorbed the power and enchantment from this ancient tamarind tree. With this legacy, they have decided to extend the branches of the giant tamarind tree to new lands in Ayutthaya and Bangkok, while preserving the unique craftsmanship and indomitable spirit of true goldsmithing—paired with a lasting, unforgettable charm that can be found nowhere else.
