Kruba Wang was born on 20^th September B.E 2434 (1891), into a family of farmers and market traders. In those days, the only way to get any schooling in the countryside was to stay in a temple and learn with the Monks, thus at the age of 9 his father took him to live at the nearby temple, to learn to read and write. After about 3 years. Kruba Wang could read and write fluently enough, and so he was able to ordain into the Sangha as a Samanera Novice Monk in the year B.E 2445 (1902).

Kruba Wang reached the age to be ordained as a fully-fledged Bhikkhu in the Buddha Sasana in the year B.E 2455 (1912) and was ordained at 13:15 hours on the 5^th of May that year as a Bhikkhu at Wat Ban Baen. Kruba Wang then began to practice Khom Sanskrit Agkhara and Wicha, and within a very short period he could chant every single line of Agkhara from memory with great aptitude. Copyright ZapMonster Amulet Tale zapmonster.blogspot.com. Kruba Wang then stayed on at Wat Ban Baen in Lampoon for another two more years. After this, Kruba Wang then moved to stay at Wat Ban Hmueang Jee, which was near his birthplace.

Kruba Wang then continued to study and practice Wicha Akom and Khom Agkhara, for a further three years, until he became inspired to take up the practice of Tudong Solitary Forest practice to gain experience in Kammathana.

Kruba Wang then travelled towards Chiang Saen through the thick forest area of Pha Teub and stopped in the forest to practice for 6 months. Once he reached Chiang Saen, he stayed around the area practicing for some years, until he decided to travel towards Prae Province, where he finally arrived and stayed at the temple of Wat Den Chai. He stayed at this temple to further master the various local traditional wicha.

Once he had mastered the wicha, he then set forth once more by Tudong until he came to rest at a very peaceful place in the forest called Pha Den Gradtay, which was found to be very auspicious in energy.Copyright ZapMonster Amulet Tale zapmonster.blogspot.com. There was a small village nearby which was impoverished, and Kruba Wang then decided to build a temple there with the help of the locals. But Kruba Wang was requested by the locals at Wat Dton Tong to assist in building their local temple instead and he spent a year helping them.

He was able to return to Pha Den Gradtay after that and built three Kuti Huts. Kruba Wang then invited some other monks to come and stay and assist in developing the temple. In the year B.E 2508 (1965) Kruba Wang began to build the Uposadha Hall and the locals of the surrounding areas began to learn about his merits, and flock to the temple to make donations and assist.

The Uposadha was then finished in the year B.E 2510 (1967). Kruba Wang became quite popular due to this as he was able to finish building Wat Ban Den in miraculously short time span. Kruba Wang was also becoming very famous for his many Wicha, including Horasart (Astrology), making trakuts and amulet for Maha Sanaeh, Metta Maha Niyom and Mahalap.
