Luang Phor Ngern, born in 1810 (BE 2355) during King Rama I's reign in Bang Khlan Village, Pichit Province, commenced his education at Wat Chana Songkram in Bangkok. At the age of 20, he was ordained as a novice monk there and spent several years practicing meditation.
Subsequently, he ventured to Pichit province, where he immersed himself in Tudong (forest) life for an extended period. During the era when Somdej Toh was still alive, Luang Phor Ngern frequently visited Wat Rakang to pay homage and learn sacred teachings from him.
One day, while journeying northward, Luang Phor Ngern arrived at a village where he decided to plant a Bodhi tree sapling. He took cuttings from a large Bodhi tree at the temple's main entrance, prayed to Lord Buddha, and sought guidance on whether the location was suitable for building a temple. He vowed that successful growth from the cutting would signify a positive sign. The cutting thrived, growing into a magnificent Bodhi tree, marking the spot where Luang Phor Ngern established Wat Wang Tako. As the temple's abbot, he welcomed numerous visitors daily. He passed away in 1919 (BE 2462) at the remarkable age of 109, having dedicated 90 years to serving the Buddhist faith.
Luang Phor Ngern, hailing from Pichit province, stands as its most renowned monk, revered for his sacred amulets.
