Prince Chumphon Khet Udomsak

He was King Chulalongkorn’s son. He was born on December 19, 1880. He studied in the Grand Palace and learned English from Mr. Morant, who was British. On December 1, 1892, he went to the United Kingdom to attend a naval instruction course. After he graduated in 1900, he became Lieutenant Junior Grade, the equivalent of Lieutenant-Commander nowadays, by Royal order of King Chulalongkorn. He appointed Prince Chumporn Ket Udomsak as Commander on HTMS Maruthawasitsawat.

On September 16, 1901 he became the Deputy Commander of the Navy Department and he restructured the Navy Department in 1903. In 1905 he improved the curriculum of the Royal Thai Naval Academy. Then, in 1907, one hundred naval cadets joined and showed the flag of the Royal Thai Navy on HTMS Makutrachakumarn in Singapore, Java and the Billiton Islands in Indonesia.

On May 19, 1923, he contracted flu and got a high fever. He died in the quarters of the King in Hat-Say-Ree village, Chumporn Province. In the Royal Thai Navy, we call him the "Father of the Royal Thai Navy", and we should remember him always.

There are many shrines throughout Thailand dedicted to Kromluang Chumphon Khet Udomsak (e.g. at Arunotai). But this shrine near Sairee beach, where he died, is the most important. People come from all over Thailand to pay their respects here.

The shrine of Kromluang Chumphon Khet Udomsak (or the San of Sadej Kromluang Chumphon Khet Udomsak - "San" being a Thai word for a shrine) is one of the many temples and shrines in Chumphon province. It is a revered place for the people of Thailand.

The shrine holds a statue of Kromluang Chumphon Khet Udomak. There is also a small museum containing some personal mementoes and naval items. There is very little written information, and it is only in Thai.

Mo Phon's Herb Garden is close to the shrine. The name Mo Phon came from Kromluang Chumphon who began to use Thai herbs as the medicine.

相传在过去，有发生过这样的事。。。海军将领，也是皇族出身的somdej kromaluang chumphon（LP Suk，wat mak kham dao的弟子）训练新进的海军。训话结束，就为他们洒圣水。
就在圣水落在他们身上的时候，就几位海军出现‘上身’的现象，就像猴子猴子那样到处蹦跳。后来，将军就叫手下讲他们制服，然后问他们，身上有什么好料？
他们说：他们是LP Ding， wat bang wua的弟子，身上戴着用木雕刻成的猴像。
将军听后就说：“这位师父厉害！”

 LP Ding，是过去非常出名的大师！而他的牌，被公认是五大名牌之一。

 至于圣物呢，首推‘神猴’！我们是后来的一群，没机会遇到LP。但是还好，他的最后一位弟子，目前还在世。。。。

LP Foo， wat bang bang samak, chachengsao. LP Foo就是LP Ding最后一位弟子

LP Foo生于2465年12月3日，今年88岁。在LP 20岁的时候，他就出家修行。而LP ding就是他的师父。

 LP的样子看起来严肃，但是心肠却非常的好。他的体型不大，但是他的慈悲心，却非常的伟大。在我们去拜访他的时候，总是很多人来找他。有些人来求出家，有些人来求LP帮助。。。

对于这些人们，LP没有拒绝他们，哪怕是一位。LP只是不断的帮他们解决疑难，帮助他们。
“他来找我帮他，我就必须帮。只要能够帮的，我都去帮。寺院与民众，是应该互相帮忙的，在现今的社会，有的只是激烈的竞争与冷漠的人心，但是在地球上的这个角落，村民都知道，只要有什么困难，他们都会去找这位高龄的长者。。。


 “我们死了之后，就算把钱含在嘴里也带不去。。。只有自己生前所做过的善事，这是最值得最有意义的事。而我们离开后，也留下善名让世人记得。”

LP说：在他刚出家的时候，他对法术经文并不感兴趣。他只是专注的学习经典佛法以及pali文。但是当时的社会，寺院就是人们心灵与生命的寄托，从出生的去世，寺院与他们都分不开。看到人们的痛苦，LP开始转向学习这一方面的学问，“LP Foo是位很厉害的师父，而且他很好心。”那位来求出家的男子跟我们聊起。我进一步问，“那么有没有人带了LP的佛牌而不被子弹打进吗？”
“没有。”他说，“有的只是有人戴了LP的神猴之后，被人砍，却砍不进。”
LP说起他年轻时候的故事。一天，他和朋友去跟LP求法。临走前，LP给了一粒loket给朋友还有教他们一个经文。后来，某一个晚上，天气很热，朋友就来在屋子外面乘凉。而被人开枪！但是，子弹却射不进。
奇怪的是，那时候他并没有把LP Ding的loket戴在身上，也没有念什么经文。他之所以可以脱险，是因为他常常想起LP ding。
“LP Ding很灵验，没有佛牌，只需要忆念起他，就可以脱险！”
生命没有什么是确定的。。。有些事对一些人来很不可思议，有些人却坚信不疑，而有些人却认为事天方奇谭。“尊重这些灵验的事吧，这并不是犯法的事。” LP Ding圆寂很久了我来不及问他LP慈悲为来拜见他的人“bao kamom” （在头顶加持）泰国神话 5世皇之子 当代泰国海军总司令 kumanlongchunpom 后面是他的师父 神通第一 龙婆肃 wat pak kong makantao在chunpom开光。在每一个关于kumanlongchunpom 神话之地开光。
