Phra Thammakiti (Jang), a name whispered with reverence at Wat Udom Rangsi, connects us to a fascinating period in Bangkok’s history. Wat Udom Rangsi holds a special place in the hearts of locals. Phra Thammakiti (Jang) wasn’t just any monk. He was the fourth abbot of Wat Udom Rangsi and a contemporary of the renowned Somdet Phra Buddhachan (To Phromrangsi) of Wat Rakang Kositaram. While the exact details of his early life remain a mystery, historical records reveal a glimpse into his influence. Documents from the reign of King Rama V link Wat Udom Rangsi with Wat Bowonniwet Vihara, suggesting Phra Thammakiti (Jang)’s established position as abbot by at least 1896. His literary contributions further solidify his legacy. He penned a remarkable poem on the Ramayana, housed in the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, spanning 84 verses. He also crafted the Story of Lilit Mahachat Kanmahaphon, the Pipit Dub poem on carelessness, and the Maha Kovindra Sutra. His name is forever etched in the annals of Wat Udom Rangsi, a testament to his profound impact on the temple and the literary world.
