He was taught the Wicha Sak Yant Maha Maekh from Luang Por Dtor and Kun Por Jantr of Wat Khao Wang in Petchburi, and after their passing, for a long time, Luang Por Lae remained the only Monk able to perform this Wicha.

In the year 2489 BE, an event happened that caused Luang Por Lae to receive a shock. He was staying at Wat Maha Tat when he received terrible news about his family home being broken into by marauders, who killed his mother and siblings (his father had already passed away beforehand). The only thing left in the home was a piece of gold weighing 100 grams, which the thieves had dropped as they fled the house. Luang Por Lae used this gold to pay for the funerals of his mother and siblings.

This tragic event led Luang Por Lae to embark on a journey of solitary forest wandering, traveling by foot across the land. His aim was to master potent Wicha, enabling him to help prevent such dreadful events in the future and to perform magical miracles for the protection of others, as his own family had suffered.

During his wanderings through the wild and undeveloped areas between Petchburi and as far as Nakorn Pathom province, Luang Por Lae met and practiced various forms of Wicha with numerous great Masters of that time. Notably, he learned the Wicha Kala ta Diaw Rahu Om Jantr (one-eyed coconut Pra Rahu Maha Ud Gunstopper spell) and the Wicha Serm Duang Karma Improver spell from Luang Por Chaem of Wat Ta Gong.

Luang Por Lae was famed for his Sak Yant tattoos, featuring his unique formula of Nine types of Hanuman/Vanora. However, it’s worth noting that after tattooing a ‘very important person,’ he ceased tattooing the 9th Hanuman and Hanuman number 10. He would only tattoo up to 8 of them on any single individual. His amulets are coveted collector’s items in a niche market and are often challenging to find. Devotees in Petchburi and surrounding provinces are known for their possessiveness and non-commercial nature regarding these amulets. As a result, only a few amulets from this master ever leave the locality and are primarily held within his circle of devotees.

Luang Por Lae holds a special place in the hearts of Sak Yant tattoo enthusiasts and those enamored with the diverse range of amulets he crafted during his lifetime, including Hanuman amulets, Ganesha, Taw Waes Suwan, and Por Gae Lersi amulets, all meticulously hand-carved from ivory. His collection boasts an array of attractive amulet designs, considered fine works of Buddhist art in their own right.

Additionally, his historical prominence is attributed to his tutelage in Sorcery and Dhamma under the guidance of 14 revered Guru Master Ajarns, who imparted their profound Wicha to him.
