Por Tan Suksabai, also known as Por Narn Tan, is a respected lay occult practitioner from Fang District in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand. Before becoming known for his spiritual work, he served in law enforcement, first as a police officer and later as a village suppression inspector responsible for maintaining order in rural areas. Through decades of personal practice he developed a reputation for mastery in traditional Northern magical disciplines, particularly the Kongkrapan Chatri protection arts, commonly referred to as the Sai Niew lineage, associated with bodily protection and resistance to physical harm.
Background and Reputation
Por Tan became widely known in Northern Thailand as a practitioner whose protective disciplines were not merely theoretical. Local accounts recount incidents where he survived multiple gunshots without injury, with some stories mentioning as many as eighteen rounds fired without penetrating his skin. Such stories circulated widely among villagers and students and formed the foundation of his reputation as a practitioner of formidable Kongkrapan wiccha.
Change in Direction
After reaching the age of sixty, Por Tan gradually shifted away from the Kongkrapan path. The traditional discipline requires strict personal observances and ritual restrictions that are difficult to maintain within modern daily life. Recognizing this reality, he began focusing on teachings that could support his students more practically in contemporary society.
Focus on Metta and Authority
In his later years, Por Tan concentrated his work on Metta Mahaniyom and Maha Amnat disciplines — practices centered on charisma, respect, and commanding presence. These teachings were designed to help students navigate social environments, build relationships, and advance in their careers and businesses. Among the ritual items he became particularly known for are the Suer Yen tiger talismans, which represent calm authority, balanced influence, and controlled strength.
Personal Experience
I was first introduced to Por Tan in 2012. At that time he already had a small group of students in Singapore who were familiar with his work. My own focus during those years was primarily on Por Sala Tan, as I was dealing more actively in items associated with the heavier occult traditions.
However, there are situations where such items are not appropriate to carry or use. In many day-to-day environments, disciplines connected to Maha Niyom — attraction, goodwill, and social harmony — are far more practical. It was during this period that I approached Por Tan more directly and began obtaining some of his items.
One of the pieces that impressed me the most was his single Takrut Salika. To this day it remains one of the most effective takruts for attraction and speech influence that I have personally used. His phayants were also remarkable in their metta properties.
I remember one particular evening in Chiang Mai city when I went out without paying much attention to the contents of my travel bag. Throughout the night I experienced an unusual number of friendly encounters and conversations, particularly with women who approached easily and naturally. Only later, when I returned to the hotel, did I realise that I had several of Por Tan’s items sitting in my travel bag the entire evening.
In terms of wealth and business movement, his items also proved highly effective in my experience. During the periods when I was actively carrying them, I noticed my sales and business activity improving steadily. Over the years I have introduced Por Tan’s items to many collectors and practitioners, and the feedback has consistently been positive. Those who used them often reported similar experiences related to attraction, social ease, and improvements in their business dealings.
Today Por Tan remains regarded as one of the respected Northern lay masters whose teachings emphasize practical influence, goodwill, and authority that can be applied in everyday life.
