Wat Silawat | Chiang Dao, Chiang Mai
Lineage Holder of Bo Bo Aung | Master of Lanna Occult Arts

Introduction

In the mist-shrouded mountains of northern Thailand, hidden deep within the forests of Chiang Dao, stands Wat Silawat—a spiritual sanctuary shaped not only by its landscape, but by the unwavering vision of its abbot, Phra Ajarn Phansaen Thammachai Akkhadhammo. A respected monk known for his wisdom, discipline, and compassion, Ajarn Phansaen has dedicated his life to preserving ancient spiritual practices while making them accessible to modern seekers.

Lineage and Spiritual Authority

Phra Ajarn Phansaen is a fully ordained monk in the Thai Sangha, but what sets him apart is his rare spiritual inheritance. He is a lineage holder of the Bo Bo Aung occult tradition of Burma, a deeply respected esoteric system known for:

  • High-level meditation

  • Internal mastery

  • Protective wicha (sacred occult practices)

This cross-border lineage, coupled with his mastery of Lanna wicha, positions him uniquely as a bridge between Thai and Burmese esoteric knowledge—an increasingly rare combination in the modern world.

Establishing Wat Silawat – A Temple in Harmony with Nature

From his early years in robes, Ajarn Phansaen sought a place where spiritual cultivation could happen in harmony with the natural world. He chose the remote forest lands of Chiang Dao, an area both challenging and serene. Despite limited support and difficult terrain, he built Wat Silawat from the ground up.

Here, he teaches that real practice is not just ritual—it is a deep dialogue with the earth, the mind, and all beings. Wat Silawat is more than a monastery; it is a living ecosystem of spiritual energy, intention, and practice.

The layout of the temple follows geomantic principles, using the natural energy of the land to support meditation and ritual. Everything from the position of the halls to the materials used reflects Ajarn Phansaen’s deep understanding of spiritual architecture and energetic flow.

Expertise in Lanna and Occult Craftsmanship

Ajarn Phansaen’s deep knowledge extends into the creation of sacred objects and amulets, which he approaches not as commercial items, but as spiritually functional tools. His consecration methods include:

  • Use of phutakhun: sacred powders, relics, cemetery earth, herbs, and inscribed metals

  • Multi-phase chanting and empowerment rituals, often aligned with astrological timings

  • Embedding of metta (loving-kindness), baramee (merit power), and protective force

His amulets are respected both for their spiritual potency and the authentic wicha lineage they carry.

Rising Demand and the Problem of Mass Production

With growing recognition—both in Thailand and abroad—has come a rise in unauthorized, mass-produced amulets. Some overseas dealers commission large quantities of decorative pieces and request only a surface-level blessing from Ajarn Phansaen before reselling.

It is important to understand:

  • These items are not personally overseen by Ajarn Phansaen

  • They lack authentic phutakhun, ritual structure, or spiritual depth

  • At best, they are symbolic souvenirs—at worst, they misuse his name

True amulets from Ajarn Phansaen are crafted or commissioned directly under his guidance, often in small numbers, and meant for serious use—not mass commerce.

How to Recognize the Real Thing

For those seeking authentic pieces, the following principles are essential:

  • Understand the difference between “Ajarn-blessed” and “Ajarn-commissioned”

  • Look for traditional materials, true ritual form, and temple framing

  • Avoid pieces that appear in excessive supply, lack spiritual clarity, or come from vague sources

Having studied his work and built personal relationships in the region, I am able to help identify and source authentic pieces that carry genuine spiritual power.

Teachings and Philosophy

Ajarn Phansaen teaches that Dhamma is not confined to scripture or ceremony. True practice is how one lives daily life—with clarity, compassion, and courage. He encourages disciples to face their problems with mindfulness and to use Buddhist wisdom not to escape life, but to engage with it more deeply.

He is also a proponent of blending spiritual intuition with rational understanding—believing that religion and science are not opposing forces, but partners in the human search for truth.

Final Reflection

True practice is not about reaching outward—it is about returning inward.”
— Phra Ajarn Phansaen
