It has been more than a week since Thailand lost one its most revered monks, Luang Phor Koon. Many Thais, including taxi drivers, have long looked to him for guidance, especially relating to finances as he was known for his ability to raise millions of baht to build temples and schools in Nakorn Ratchasima Province where he was an abbot at Wat Ban Rai. Born in 1923, he dedicated most of his life to studying Buddhist teachings and to helping the needy. He will be missed by many, but his memory will live on in the hearts of many Thais and in the form of amulets, small statues, and stickers in Bangkok taxis.
