Shortly after his Birth, his Mother and father decided to move to live in the small Village of Baan Tung Kork (CowshedVille, translated), in The district of Sorng Pi Norng province of SupannBurii. SupannBurii was a territory that Teemed with "Nak Laeng (Gangsters), and Infamous Highwaymen of that era nearly all were from SupannBurii: Famous names of the time; Suea Dam, Suea Bai, and not to forget Suea Mahaesworn.At this time, Hlwong Por Phern was still a Layman, and found it wise to find some magic Charms to protect himself. Living in a dangerous Region and all.In addition to this, Hlwong Por Phern had always been attracted to themes involving Buddha Magic used by Warriors in the Historic Past. Suffice to say he was seriously interested in all things paranormal.

He sought out the Extremely Respected Monk of the time, Hlwong Por Daeng (Pra Kruu Suwannasaatugith).Hlwong Por Daengwas based in the area at Wad Tung Kork, in Supannburii Province.Hlwong Por Phern became a Lay - Disciple of Hlwong Por Daeng, who was in turn a disciple of Hlwong Por Hnoeng (Wad Klong Madan); an Expert in matters of Sorcery.At a later phase Hlwong Por Phern would "Buad Pra" (become ordained as a Monk), at the age of Twenty Six, to be exact.He would never leave Monkdom again.He was ordained by Pra Aajaarn Huem, who was also his teacher in Buddha Magic and Sorcery for a while. Apart from that, Hlwong Por Phern was a Disciple of "Agkara Khorm" and a student of Yant design and application who came to be highly admired as an expert.His Yant were renowned for their Aesthetic beauty and the power they carried with them.Hlwong Por Phern studied Vipassana Meditation with utmost dedication for many years and through these studies was able to become a disciple of the Great Hlwong Por Oe Paa Sii, one of the Greatest monks of the time, known for his powers of white magic. After this, Hlwong Por Phern went to practise "Dern Tudongk" (walk aimlessly through the Jungle renouncing the comfort of the Wad), through the western border of Central Thailand, in the GaanjanaBurii province.He crossed the border into the realm of Marit (Burma), through the remote areas of Saesawoe and Bang Graenggawia; Known in that time as being thickest darkest Jungle. There were Jungle fevers, Mortal dangers such as Poisonous snakes, and other animals such as tigers and the like were teeming in this part of the wilderness at that time.According to Thai beliefs, there was also the added dangers of "Naang Mai" (wicked fairies and tree spirits), Phii Phoeng and Phii Phaa (Jungle ghosts) and all sorts of evil spirits.

The inhabitants of this jungly and mountanous region are mostly "Gahriang" (Karen Tribe), and many of them became disciples of H.P. Phern, due to the fact that H.P.Phern " Mii Dii Hai Haen" (have good can see).Hlwong Por Phern seemed to be loved and respected wherever he travelled, due to the fact that he posessed such a transparent personality that allowed all to see his great Compassion and his power to help the folk with his Buddha Magic.After this, H.P. Phern continued to "Dern Tudongk" through Thaag Province, RaachBurii, and PaetchBurii and many other Provinces.Until one day H.P.Phern was called upon by the local folk to be "Jao Aawaas (Abbot) of Wad Tung Naang Hlorg (Temple of the field with the lady ghost), in GaanjanaBurii.This was the first time he was to be Abbot of a Wad, but he was able to successfully develop the temple complex during his stay there of five years.After this, Hlwong Por Phern Tithakunoe returned to "Dern Tudongk" for many years. The Raasii of the Ramakiarn, probably the fathers of Yant tattoo, were the first to practise dern tudongk.This practise involve meditating in the darkest night in ancient graveyards and ruined temples, right in the middle of the thickest darkest jungle.This is suppose to strengthen ones mind and help to enlighten one, due to the extremely fearful nature of the meditation location.

The Year 2509 Puttasagaraach (Buddhist calendar we are now in 2548, which is 2005 our time.)Admirers and Disciples of Hlwong Por Phern formed a comittee to erect a statue of Hlwong Por in honour and respect of all the great acts of compassion he had performed for the folk of Nakorn Phatom province.At this time H.P. Phern was Abott (Jao Aawaas) of wad Koeg Khaemaa in Nakorn Phatom, but after the erection of this statue, was very quickly allocated to be Jao Aaawaas of Wad bang Pra temple.He stayed there to the date of his Passing away in 2004.
