Phra Khru Adulyan Prayut
(aka Kruba Chanthip Inthajano / ครูบาจันทร์ทิพย์)
Abbot of Wat Muang Ma Tai | Chiang Mai | Forest Lineage Monk | Yantra & Amulet Master
🕯️ A Spiritual Pillar of Northern Thailand
Kruba Chanthip Inthajano, formally known as Phra Khru Adulyan Prayut, is one of the most quietly revered forest monks in Chiang Mai’s San Kamphaeng region. Born on Sunday, 4 May 1947 (B.E. 2490) in the village of Rong Wua Daeng, he grew up in a humble family — son of Mr. Pan and Mrs. Liew Inthanon. From a young age, he displayed a deep affinity for Dhamma, leading him to ordain as a novice at just 14 years old (B.E. 2504), and fully as a bhikkhu by age 20 in B.E. 2510 at Wat Muang Khieo.
His monastic name “Inthajano” reflects “the one with the wisdom of Indra,” befitting his spiritual maturity.
🪷 Rooted in the Forest Monk Lineage
Kruba Chanthip is a direct spiritual descendant of some of the greatest Lanna forest monks, having studied under:
-
Kruba Chum Phothiko – a close disciple of Kruba Sri Vichai, famed for strict Dhamma practice and deep baramee. Kruba Chum personally handed Kruba Chanthip his full robe — a powerful gesture of spiritual trust.
-
Kruba Kam Saen Khunalongkalo of Wat Pa Don Moon – the famed master of wua thanu, takruts, and sak yants. Kruba Chanthip studied under him from B.E. 2516–2522, learning the intricate arts of consecration and protection.
-
Luang Pu La (Kruba La Chantho) – known as “Ta Thip”, the “Divine-Eyed Monk” of Wat Pa Tung. Kruba Chanthip became a trusted attendant and student, staying with him until his passing in B.E. 2536.
These lineages enriched Kruba Chanthip with a combination of meditative strength, practical wicha, and the sacred art of crafting baramee-infused objects.

His temple continues to hold meditation sessions, sacca talks, and personal retreats, drawing a steady flow of both local devotees and collectors from afar.
🪙 Legacy for the Future
Today, amulets and yants bearing Kruba Chanthip’s blessing are cherished for their spiritual integrity rather than hype.
