Luang Pho Cham 在紀律上非常嚴格。因此，村民的信仰普遍受到尊重。 Luang Por
Cham 被任命為住持。算得上是一位非常年輕的方丈，年僅23歲。

Wat Chalong is a Buddhist temple that has a rich history in the area
of Phuket. Wat Chalong is also the biggest and most
ornate of Phuket’s 29 Buddhist monasteries. The
architecture is typical of wats found throughout
Thailand. Wat Chalong is associated with two guru
monks, Luang Phor Chaem and Luang Phor Chuang, both
of whom were famous for their work in herbal
medicine and tending to the injured. During the tin
miners’ rebellion of 1876 they mobilized aid for the
injured on both sides. They also mediated in the
rebellion, bringing the warring parties together to
resolve their dispute. Statues honoring them stand
in the sermon hall (viharn). Many Thais would come
to Wat Chalong to get blessings from the monks and
receive a good luck charm in the form of a string
tied around the wrist, which they believe protects
them from injury and illness. Luang Phor Chaem is
very well-respected by the people living in Phuket
and they believe that Luang Phor Chaem will protect
them from danger.
Luang Phor Chaem was born in BE 2370. During the
19th century, Phuket was an island that was the
important centre of the industry due to the influx
of wealth brought in through tin-mining and many
chinese labourers flocked to the island as a result.
In BE 2419 which was during the reign of King Rama
V, Chalong came under threat from the Ang-Yee
Rebellion - A large mob of rioting immigrant chinese
tin-mine workers that had been rampaging across the
island. When tin-mine owners refused them the opium,
they had grown accustomed to become incensed. A
small group of Ang-Yee seized the provincial hall
and started killing innocent people. The locals were
terrified as they were all unsure where to go.
Should they stay and fight or should they run away?
They then decided to escape to Wat Chalong to look
for Luang Phor Chaem to tell him the imminent
danger.
Luang Phor Chaem told the locals : "I have been here
for a long time and I am staying". Hearing this, the
people decided to stay and fight off the Ang-Yee. As
a Buddhist monk, he could not physically fight the
Angyee but he rallied the people to fight back
whenever the chinese attacked. The fighting was
fierce and the Chinese even breached the temple wall
at one point, and this breach can be seen at the
temple till today. They succeeded in doing and later
with the help of soldiers the rebellion was put
down.
To show appreciation, King Rama V bestowed upon
Luang Phor Chaem the title of “Phra Kru Wisit
Wongsacharn”. He invited Luang Phor Chaem to Bangkok
in order to promote him as the regional Abbot of
Phuket and its surrounding provinces.
These days, almost everyone knows who is Luang Phor
Chaem Wat Chalong. A statue of Luang Phor Chaem
alongside Luang Phor Chuang can be seen in the
temple main hall. Many devotees up till these days
still go there to stick gold leaf to these statues
as a part of paying respect to the two famed abbots.
Luang Phor Chaem’s walking stick is the miracle of
many stories. Apparently it had many healing
qualities. It is currently in the possession of the
current abbot of Wat Chalong. One of the stories
happened to be related to one of King Rama V’s wife.
One of King Rama V's wives was cured of acute
stomach ache by its touch. The most amusing story
about Luang Phor Chaem walking stick concerns a
local girl who was so desperate to get healed that
she solemnly vowed to gild his privates if he would
get rid of her stomach pains. He healed her but she
forgot about her promise. Thai people believe that
breaking a promise can bring evil upon people and
sure enough, she fell ill again. When her parents
found out about her foolish oath. They approached
Luang Phor Chaem and out came the walking stick and
Luang Phor Chaem sat on it in such a way that it
protruded from his robes. The girl gilded it with
gold leaves and was subsequently cured. This
occurrence was the talk of the area for a while and
resulted in many people from as far away as Penang
to visit Wat Chalong.
While travelling back from his audience with King
Rama V, Luang Phor Chaem and his entourage stopped
for the night at a temple in Chumpon. He insisted on
staying in the unprotected main hall instead of a
safer inner room, saying that even though they may
be robbed, the thieves would not get far with their
loot. It was exactly as he said: the thieves came in
the night and took all the monk’s valuables. Later
that morning, the shamefaced thieves returned,
bearing their loot and saying that the further away
they went the heavier the stolen articles had
become.
Luang Phor Chaem passed away in BE 2451 at the age
of 81. However, his devotees find out that his total
wealth amounted to 50 Satang. Hence many devotees
from other provinces of Thailand and even from
Malaysia heard about this news and travelled to
Phuket to pay their respect to Luang Phor Chaem. His
funeral was also the biggest ever held funeral in
Southern Thailand.
