Luangpor Koon is a very highly regarded, and
respected monk who is as famous for smoking
cigarettes in the squatting position, as he is
for being holy. In the recent years, Luangpor
has quit smoking per his doctor's advice.

Let me share with you a charming true story of the
wisdom of Luangpor Koon, as told to me by my dad...

A fellow was driving, and he got into a bad accident.
He survived, and once out of the hospital, he was able
to procure a meeting with Luangpor Koon.

The fellow had the 'image' or symbol of Luangpor Koon in
his car for good luck, as many Thai's do with Luangpor, and
other monks.

The fellow said to Luangpor, "How come I had your figure in the
car, and I still got into an accident?" Luangpor asked the fellow,
"How fast were you going?" The man said, "About 100 miles an hour..."

To which Luangpor replied, "100 Miles an hour? When you hit 80mph, I was
already out of the car!!!" :-)
