1. What is a Phra Ngang?
Phra Ngang is a seated spirit figure from the ancient Khmer esoteric tradition of the Thai-Cambodian border. Historically carried by military commanders rather than commoners, it is instantly recognizable by its spiral topknot and inset ruby-red eyes — the red eyes traditionally signal that the empowerment is complete. Devotees wear Phra Ngang for personal magnetism, romantic attraction, fortune in trade, and protection from harm.

2. Who is Luang Pho Koy?
Born in Ban Kruat District, Buriram, to a Cambodian father and a Thai mother, Luang Pho Koy crossed into Cambodia after ordaining and trained under Luang Pu Suean in mantra, charm and spirit-empowerment arts. He later studied under Luang Pho Choo of Wat Hin Lek Fai in Surin and Luang Pu Chia of Wat Prasat in Buriram, mastering meditation and the four-element method of amulet making. Collectors regard him as one of the truest living heirs of the old Khmer lineage, best known for his Phra Ngang, Khun Paen and charm pieces.
