Featuring
the Southen Sacred monk, TOK-CA-POK LOH KERAMAT from Wat Khao Kong, Narathiwat. Wat
Khao Kong is famous with the Buddhist
landmark, Khao Kong Buddhist Park. The park occupies an area of 142 rais (56.8 acres) in
Tambon Lamphu, about 9 kilometers from town on the Narathiwat-Rangae route
(Highway No. 4055).
TOKCA POK LOH’S
5’ Bucha Statue
The main attraction in Wat Khao Kong
is a graceful southern Buddha image, the golden Phra Phuttha Thaksin Ming
Mongkhon, which is seated in the lotus position. The construction of the
steel-reinforced concrete image that was decorated with gold mosaics started in
1966 and was completed in 1969. This mountaintop Buddha image, which is
considered to be the most beautiful and largest (17 meters wide and 24 meters
high) outdoor Buddha image in southern Thailand, is decorated in the South
Indian style.
TOK CA POK LOH or CA
POK LOH or SAMI POK LOH, the very first abbot of Wat Khao Kong, believed to be a Muslim who converted to Buddhism.
TOK CA POK LOH ( TOK CA – monk whereas POK
LOH is the nick name given to the monk ). According to Phor Mor Keaw, CA POK
LOH lived during / earlier eras with our belated Phor Than Kong. He passed away
few years before Phor Than Kong Parinibbana ( Dunno the exact year, perhaps bros
out there wanna help me to shed the light ! ).
Phor Mor Keaw added that, those
young time CA POK LOH and Phor Than Kong used to exchanged ideas and wichah sciences and knowledge. Phor Than Kong even mentioned TOK CA
POK LOH as CA KERAMAT – Sacred Monk !
There are many
versions / stories of this keramat CA POK LOH. The 1st version ( as
retold to me by late Phor Mor Keaw ), CA POK LOH was an ordinary Thai’s Muslim
guy. CA POK LOH worked in small Narathiwat town and this required him to travel
daily through the deep jungle before reaching his workplace. During his routine
route to his workplace he met with a big fierce Benggala Tiger. The big cat
chased and seem wanna to eat / kill him. CA POK LOH begged, prayed and made a
wish ( BON ) and begged ……… to anybody ( god or angel or monk ) to come and help
him to chase away the big cat and save him. He
even beg to Buddha that he would ordained as a Buddhist monk if the big cat
spare his life, he closed his eyes and prayed continuously, when he opened his
eyes the big fierce tiger was no longer there. CA POK LOH immediately ran back
home ………………
After the incident, CA
POK LOH never used the same route and never ordained as monk as he promised /
vowed before. After several months, CA POK LOH got a weird same dream. He dreamt of the big cat chased him and asked
for his vowed to be paid back. The fierce big cat images kept on appearing and
haunting him. CA POK LOH then went to consult a guru monk and in order to
overcome his problem, the guru advised him to ordain and because he is a Muslim
then he were told to ordain only as a novice monk for 3 days and then disrobed.
CA POK LOH listened
to the advise and he finally ordained as a novice monk, after 3 days of
ordaination, CA POK LOH did not showing any sign
to disrobe. After 3 months CA POK LOH still did not disrobe and remain as novice monk status until and keep on believing in
Buddhist path and died in his yellow robes …… as a BUDDHIST.
Based on the stories
and legend which associated with the incident, that is why there is a tiger
image printed at the reversed side of the CA POK LOH’s amulets. The tiger image was as a remembrance
of the incident that took place before he was ordained as a monk. There’s no
proper documentation on when of these 2 Phim Run Raek ( 1st batch ).
According to local folks, they believed that these two phims were made
somewhere in BE 2497 – BE 2500.

2nd
version ( as retold to me by a local Kelantanese old folk from Kampung
Kasa, Pasir Mas who is CA POK LOH die
hard believer ), CA POK LOH worked in small Narathiwat town with a small income
to support his family. The stories began when CA POK LOH was suffered /
diagnosed with a deadly disease ( unknown ) and cannot be cured by the KHUN MOR
( doctor ) and PHOR MOR ( white shirt guru ). He cannot go to work. He went to
consult several local and Pattani’s Malay Phor Mors and the last resort was to consult the
TOK CA ( monk ), the old monk he had consulted advised CA POK LOH to make a BON
/ PASANG NIAT ( vow ) while the curing processes was on.

Fated to be and with
God’s will, CA POK LOH’s health was improving from day to day and miraculously
healed after the vow and several treatments from the local phor mor. CA POK LOH
then gained back his strength and went to work in Narathiwat as usual. It’s all
happened when one day during his routine travel through the deep jungle before
reaching his work place, he met with a big fierce Benggala Tiger. The big cat gave
chased and hopped upon him. CA POK LOH prayed and begged to the big cat to
spare his life, he closed his eyes and prayed continuously, when he opened his
eyes the big fierce tiger was no longer there. CA POK LOH immediately ran back
home.
Month and month
passes, CA POK LOH got a weird same dream continuously. He dreamt of the big cat chased him and asked
for his vow to be paid back and the tiger images kept on appearing and
haunting him. CA POK LOH then went to consult the old guru monk and in order to
overcome his problem, the guru advised him to pay back ( KAE BON lek
KAE KAM ) asked him what was his BON during the 1st meeting with him –
during the curing processes ? CA POK LOH told the monk that he was not serious at
that time and his BON was to shave his head and become TOKCA – ordain as a
monk.
After a deep
Samadhi – meditation, the old monk advised CA POK LOH to ordain as a novice
monk and because of he is a muslim then he were told to ordain for only for few days
and then disrobed. CA POK LOH obeyed to the advised and he finally ordained as a
novice monk, after 3 days of ordained as a novice monk CA POK LOH did not
showing any sign and attempt to disrobe. CA POK LOH never disrobed and put
his believe and faith in Buddhist, Dhamma and Sangha until his last breathe as a BUDDHIST.
The 3rd
version of CA POK LOH’s story ( as
retold by a local Kelantanese old folk from Kampung Chekok, Pasir Mas who is
also a CA POK LOH die hard believer also ).
The stories began when CA POK LOH was suffered / diagnosed with a deadly
disease ( unknown ) and cannot be cured by the KHUN MOR ( doctor ) and PHOR MOR
( white shirt guru ). He went to consult several Pattani’s Malay Phor Mor but
failed. CA POK LOH last resort was to
BON / PASANG NIAT ( vow ). CA POK LOH
went to several sacred places, believed to be sacred by local residents
of Narathiwat ( perhaps been practiced in many part of the world, including Malaysia till now ) – old giant tree, old grave yard, termite built, boulder and even to the abandoned temple or Buddha statue.
Fated to be and with
God’s will, CA POK LOH’s health was improving from day to day and miraculously
healed after the vowed. CA POK LOH then gained back his strength and went through
his normal layman life. Whether fated to be or just a coincidence, CA
POK LOH got a weird dream
continuously. He dreamt of the big cat
chased him and wide opened his mouth and
seem like showing its big fang. The tiger images and its fang kept on
appearing and haunted him. CA POK LOH then went to consult and in order to
overcome his problem, the guru advised him to pay back ( KAE BON
lek KAE KAM ). CA POK LOH looked surprised and the old monk asked him
what was were his BON ? CA POK
LOH could not recall back and told the monk that he was not serious at
that time.
CA POK LOH went back
home and that night he had another weird same dream but this time he saw a huge
golden Buddha statue and the Buddha smiled at him. The next morning, TOK CA POK
LOH went to consult the monk and told the monk about his dream. He said he had
his BON in front of Buddha statue, CA POK LOH said he had promise and BON to
shave his head and become TOKCA – ordain as a monk if his rare disease / sick is
gone – fully recover !
After the deep
Samadhi, the old monk advised CA POK LOH to ordain as a novice
monk. CA POK LOH obeyed and took he advice seriously. He finally ordained
as a novice monk and Parinnibanna - died in his
yellow robes.
The 4th version
of CA POK LOH’s story. …………… hope guys
out there can contribute something to be shared and shed the light on this
great monk !
According to my
foster-grandpa, most muslim in Narathiwat province accepted this incident as a God’s
will, fate and destiny but some of the muslim cursed TOK CA POK LOH as a MURTAD
and will be punished cursed by God !
Dear frens, the
infos gathered and shared above might not be accurate and mislead. The info
and the data collected and gathered as it is and merely from my past
experienced / as retold to me. I heard that there’s an official booklet /
document from Wat Khao Khong regarding CA POK LOH’s stories. But I can’t obtain
any ! Guys out there, ur comment – sharing – add on to the CA POK LOH info are
most appreciate. Appreciate it to the fullest !
Another
tiny sharing of my personal bucha collection of late great Tok Cha
PokLoh @ Cha PokLoh Ca Kramat of Wat Khao Khong, Narathiwat. These 5-inch lap and 7-inch height buchas are made of Neur Phong and Wanj
materials.
It's
hard to come across these phims nowadays, if you ever found one, GRAB it
! The renting price of these 2 phims are cutting your throat. It's not
about the rareness of these buchas but it's because of GORENG a.k.a TOSSING-UP for the purpose of gaining profit …….........
Another double power-up sharing is a tiny Roob Meurn Nang Theng of Cha PokLoh. This tiny Roob Meurn Phim Nang
Theng is made of Neur 108 Wanj. The posture of this phim was copied the
sitting style the posture of Nang Theng ( seated on the wooden chair /
bench ) human size bucha statue in Wat Khao Khong, Narathiwat which was
crafted from the sacred wood / log which is GUARDED by his loyal Taryai Seur - Tiger's Companion !
Writer used to "MEET" and "BUMP INTO" this companion. 'HE' is huge and fierce ! 'HE' will "GREET'
all the devotees right in front of Tok Cha PokLoh Nang Theng's
shrine. If you were endowed with the 3rd eye, I'm pretty sure that you
are able to "SEE" it ! My advise to you is, if you ever "OWNED" an INVISIBLE COMPANION too, kindly "LEAVE"
what ever your companion is at the Wat @ temple main entrance ya !
Don't mess-up with Tok Cha PokLoh's okay ! Hahahahahahaha !

According to Phor Mor Keaw, CA POK LOH was a great monk
possessed with great wichah power ( Wai Kru Wichah – Learnt and not from the
inherited ). Phor Mor Keaw added that CA POK LOH possessed a great Malay and
Thai wichah ( Magic ) sciences. The combination of these two wichahs, made CA
POK LOH a great and well respected monk both from Southern Thai and Malay
communities. CA POK LOH even shared his expertise with our belated Phor Than
Kong. My foster grandpa said that CA POK LOH was good at AMNAJ, KHONG KHRA PAN and METTA wichahs.
Phor Mor Keaw added that, CA POK LOH expertises in ILMU KELADI TIKUS (
Typhonium Flagelliforme - type of Yam ). CA POK LOH
also superb in using Keladi Candik / Colek to cure various types of skin diseases. He even used
the stem of this yam ( Keladi Tikus ) to TIE the lust –
especially for those husbands who keep the mistress.
The stem will be
chanted with the incantation and will be tied into a knot and be grilled before
keeping under bed or mattress. The effect of this wichah is, the husband won’t
be able to have any intercourse with other woman - become impotent. But whenever he is with his wife, the
penis will fully function and erect. But will become impotent or unable to erect when ever he goes for the
mistress. The man’s private part will MENIKUS LIKES TIKUS ! Hahahahahaha, unfortunately late Phor Mor Keaw didn’t
have the opportunity to pass down this wichah to me. Adoi, rugi !
Keladi Tikus
Although CA POK LOH, not as popular as Than Kong, Than Lek, and Than Chan Keramat etc and not
many people know who is CA POK LOH but his amulets nowadays extremely rare and are sought after by the devotees ( Southern Thai and Kelantanese ).
Many people said that, his amulets are superb for KHLEW KHAD n KHONGKA PAN. They
even said that his amulets are superb for smiting enemies especially those
having problem with differs races ( Malay particularly ), they believed that because of
Southern Thai Malays used to curse CA POK LOH and that is why his amulets are
endowed with such a power – smite and curse BAD - M****.
