Early Life and Ordination


Phra Archan Yutthachai Silathecho, also known as Ajahn Pun, was born on 25 May 1968 in Ubon Ratchathani Province. He began his spiritual journey in Buddhism at a young age and was deeply inspired by monastic life.


At age 14, he entered monkhood at Wat Ban Suan Kaew, Khueang Nai District, Ubon Ratchathani, and studied under the guidance of Phra Kru Sutthikavi (Luang Pu Phuang).

Spiritual Development and Lineage


Ajahn Pun later moved to Wat Mai Krathumlom, located in Nong Chok District, Bangkok. He continued his higher Dhamma studies and meditation practice, eventually becoming a respected monk under the guidance of several revered masters in Thailand.


One of his most influential teachers was Luang Pu Phromma Onluea-lor, a renowned meditation master. Phra Archan Pun became widely recognized as a true spiritual successor of this lineage.


He further received mentorship and inspiration from several highly respected monks, including:

  • Luang Phor Koon of Wat Ban Rai

  • Luang Phor Pae of Wat Pikulthong

  • Luang Phor Boonmee of Wat Khao Daeng

  • Luang Phor Thong of Wat Santitham

  • Luang Phor Kasem of Lampang

Responsibilities and Monastic Leadership


In 1994 (BE 2537), he was appointed to a leading position in his monastery. His focus was on continuing the teachings and meditation practices of the forest tradition. Through his efforts, Wat Mai Krathumlom has become a place for serious practitioners, drawing faithful followers from across the country.


His teachings emphasize mindfulness, strict adherence to monastic discipline, and compassionate service to the community.

Ceremonial Participation and Blessings


Phra Archan Pun is also known for participating in many sacred consecration ceremonies (phutthaphisek) across Thailand. His spiritual strength and meditative attainment make him a sought-after figure in major religious events, especially those involving sacred amulets and statues.

Ongoing Contributions


To this day, Phra Archan Pun continues to guide his disciples in both Dhamma and meditation. He also blesses amulets and sacred items for laypeople, aiming to bring protection, prosperity, and spiritual guidance to all who seek refuge in the Dhamma.
