Kunchaikiri have many sons and daughters. He studied white magic from Wat Khao Or
and later taught the art to his children. One of Kunchaikiri’s children with the name
"Mueansiripanpirun" learn the art of white magic from him and further his studies into the art from Wat Khao Or. He too have many children and one of them is the father of Archan Chum.
Archan Chum’s father was a soldier and governer in Khao Chai Son district in Phatthalung city. Archan Chum Chaikiri's father is the friend of LP Kong Wat Chaimongkol in Songkhla province. LP Kong who later became the master of Archan Chum Chaikiri gave the name “Chum” to him.
Archan Chum had an immense interest in magic and studied magic from his father and family since he
was very young. When Archan Chum was 5 years old he can cast a spell to hypnotize poisonous snake to stop it from opening its mouth, as well as shutting the dog’s mouth up so the dog can't bite. When he was a little older around 7 years old, he learnt how to cast a spell of 11 words to a hand gun and the gun will be broken upon shooting. This happened in an incident when his father’s friend/colleague came to his house and left his gun on the table. Archan Chum took the chance to perform what he had learnt. So he took the gun on the table and starting casting the spell. However before even trying to shoot, the gun gave way and was broken. Archan Chum’s father’s friend was furious and told him not to use that spell unless in danger. This shows that Archan Chum had mastered the art so well that even before trying to fire the gun, it will give way which was way more than the art he learnt.
Archan Chum had a great talent to learn white magic and he could pick up very fast. He is able to perform a whole lot of magic that usually took double or even triple the time to master.
When Archan Chum was 20 years old, he became a monk under LP Kong at Wat Chaimongkol in Songkhla province and study dhamma from Lp Kong until such a point he became a Khao Or disciple under the advice and supervision of Khunpan Tharak Rachadej . He learn the art of Khao Or from Archan Yied Wat Donsala, who was a direct disciple and one of the most senior disciples of Archan Thong Tao. When Archan Chum was a monk he became good friends with LP Kong Wat Ban Suan
who was at the same time a disciple of Archan Yied too. Which is at 2484, Archan Chum created his first batch of amulets with the support of Archan Yied who also provided him some of the balance “Phong Mahawan” to be mixed in the powder formula. And later joined him for the chanting ceremony. Which many people till today said that wearing Archan Chum’s Phra Puttha Nimit is equivalent to wearing Archan Yied’s Phra Kleep Bua Mahawan.
Initially Archan Chum only intended to become a monk for 1 year but end up serving monkhood for 15 years. So when Archan Chum was 35 years old, he left the Buddhist monkhood and got married. Even after he left monkhood, his interest to study white magic did not end. As long as he heard of any famous Archan(s) or Luang Phor, he will not even have a second thought of going to pay his respects to them in return of learning an art or two.
There was once when Archan Chum came across an old man in the mountains and followed this old man in learning white magic for 3 years. At the end of 3 years, the old man 2 spells of 4 words. “Na Wo Ah Mi” and “ Ba Su Wu Cha”
These 2 spells made Archan Chum realized that a person’s belief is above all.
He helped Wat Khao Or to create lots of amulets which is why the people of Southern Thai gave him a title of "The academician of Khao Or superstition".
Archan Chum later moved to stay in Bangkok with his family when he got older and died on BE2525(1982).
