Devoted disciples mourn the passing of "Luang Pho Uern" Abbot of Wat Wang Daeng Tai, a famous master in the Pa Sak river basin, at age 85.
On 21 March 2026, reporters reported that residents of Wang Daeng Subdistrict, Tha Ruea District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, received the sad news of the death of Phra Kru Adun Wiriyakit, Luang Pho Uern Attamano, abbot of Wat Wang Daeng Tai in Tha Ruea District, Ayutthaya. He had been hospitalized since December 2025 at Sena Hospital, Sena District, due to kidney disease and old age. His condition did not improve, and he passed away at 06:35 on 21 March 2026.
The committee of Wat Wang Daeng Tai has scheduled the royal water pouring funeral ceremony for 16:00 on 23 March 2026 and will open the temple for the public to pay respects to Luang Pho Uern. It is expected that many devotees will attend the event.
Luang Pho Uern Attamano was born as Uern Panthumrit on 1 September 1940 in Tha Ruea District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. His parents were rice farmers, and his father was an expert in traditional medicine, skilled in healing and warding off illnesses, and knowledgeable in sacred mantras. Luang Pho Uern was ordained at age 22 at Phatthasima Wat Bueng, Wang Daeng Subdistrict, Tha Ruea District, Ayutthaya. He was 85 years, 6 months, and 21 days old at his passing, having completed 64 years as a monk.
Luang Pho Uern Attamano, abbot of Wat Wang Daeng Tai, was a renowned master in the Pa Sak river basin, inheriting a strong Buddhist occult lineage emphasizing both loving-kindness and invulnerability. He was especially noted for making the Solos Maha Mongkol takrut amulets and had many devoted disciples. Known as the "Sticky Line" master of Ayothaya, he inherited teachings from famous past masters such as Luang Pho Nor of Wat Klang Tha Ruea, Luang Pho Jam of Wat Wang Daeng Nuea, Luang Pho Tang of Wat Pho En, and Luang Pho Tab of Wat Makham Riang in Saraburi Province.
Luang Pho Uern was particularly skilled in inscribing sacred yantra characters and crafting the Tiger Forehead takrut amulets, especially the Solos Maha Mongkol takrut, a technique he learned from Luang Pho Tab of Wat Makham Riang. For over 20 years, he personally inscribed and rolled these takrut before distributing them himself.
