Phra Luang
Posted in asian antiques on 03/09/2010 10:35 pm by adminquestion about idols / gods in Thailand?
I just saw a couple of pendants in a shop in Thai and thought they were interesting. Can anyone tell me the English translation of these names so I can look at these figures and learn history? these were the names thai the seller gave me: Phra Laut (a Buddha), Luang Phor Koon (monk), and Ho Phra View (looks like an elephant God). (I'm not sure if spelling is correct though) Thanks in advance!
They are all names ... "Prah" is just a way to label them as gods, a bit like Mr, Mrs, etc. I do not know exactly where Phra Phra see Laut and Ho are (sorry) "Luang Phor Koon is a famous monk (not sure about its history, but people seem to fear), but if you really want the translation of its name is: Yours Lord Father [or] Your father the Lord (which does not mean exactly what it is ... haha translated "Lord" in Thai is not the same as "Lord" in the Western world - unless you think in the days when Ye Olde English people called their kings "Lord" [which is closer])
