Sacred Powers and Reputation
-
Exceptional Spiritual Protection:
It is widely believed among devotees that even an unconsecrated photo of Master Ngo Kim Koi can repel malevolent spirits. His spiritual energy is so profound that merely showing his image to someone possessed can cause spirits to flee.
-
Heavenly Blessing Yantra:
The yantra inscribed on the locket’s reverse is renowned for its power to bring good luck, wealth, success in business, and improved feng shui. It is often referred to as a “fireproof talisman” due to its reputed protection against fire-related misfortune.
-
Feng Shui Master of Tycoons:
Master Ngo Kim Koi was the feng shui advisor to the CP Group tycoon, who wore only a single Ah Pae coin. His feng shui adjustments were said to be pivotal in transforming the tycoon into a national-level billionaire. He was also known for conducting physiognomy readings of employees before they were hired into CP Group—a practice still carried on by his disciples.
-
Teacher to Thai-Chinese Leaders:
Ngo Kim Koi mentored Dr. Somsuk Kongurai, the founder of Rasami Phromphothiko School, and is respected as a spiritual teacher by its students.
Biography of Master Ngo Kim Koi (Sian Pae Rongsi)
-
Birth: Approx. BE2440 (c. 1897), Teng Hai Subdistrict, China
-
Death: BE2526 (January 16, 1983) at age 85
He migrated to Thailand around the age of 10. As a hardworking young man, he worked in general labor and eventually entered the paddy and rice mill business. By age 22, he married Mrs. Nuan Sri Iamkheng, with whom he had 10 children. He later established Fai Thongsiri Rice Mill in Bang Kadi Subdistrict, opposite Wat Salajao, Pathum Thani. He adopted the Thai name Mr. Natee Thongsiri.
Despite his success, he lived humbly, often chewing betel nut and mingling with villagers. He was generous, morally upright, and well-versed in Chinese spiritual practices and feng shui, earning respect as both a businessman and spiritual guide.
Wat Salajao Shrine and Legacy
Shrine Restoration
At the riverside near Wat Salajao, he began repairing a small deteriorating Chinese wooden shrine known as “Chao Pho Pu” (Pung Tao Kong Ma). Over time, villagers joined him in transforming it into a grand shrine. He also initiated an annual festival held from the 5th to the 8th day of the waxing moon of the 1st lunar month, a tradition that continues today.
On several occasions during the shrine’s festivals, storms appeared imminent, yet his incense rituals seemingly calmed the skies, further deepening public belief in his divine connection.
Feng Shui and Spiritual Contributions
Sian Pae was well known for:
-
Giving free feng shui consultations for homes, businesses, and ancestral tombs.
-
Traveling across Thailand and abroad to assist devotees.
-
Drawing personal talismans using the calligraphy “天官赐福” (Tian Guan Ci Fu), translated as “Heavenly Blessings from the Celestial Officer.”
These talismans were treasured by businesspeople, especially in Yaowarat, who credited them with financial success and protection.
Later Years and Passing
Despite his advanced age, Sian Pae continued his charitable and spiritual work. In BE2518 (1975), he oversaw the renovation of the shrine into an octagonal structure, completed and inaugurated in BE2519 (February 15, 1976) with full community support.
He passed away peacefully at 5:30 a.m. on January 16, BE2526 (1983). In his memory, a multi-purpose pavilion named Sala Natee Thongsiri was constructed behind the shrine at Wat Salajao. A life-sized statue of Sian Pae was enshrined there for continued worship.
Cultural Significance Today
The names “Jiang Wei Chiu Ngow” and “Jiang Wei Chiu Poey” are well-known among Thai-Chinese communities and are frequently invoked during annual festivals. These events feature Chinese opera performances, honoring his tradition and legacy.
Even decades after his passing, devotees continue to pray at the shrine, receive blessings from the sacred water, and seek fortune by keeping his amulets and locket talismans close. His enduring influence reflects both his spiritual power and the depth of his compassion.
