Besides all these extensive charity works, Luangpu Kamphan also helped many government sectors to raise funds for the police force, army and various other public facilities. 

Therefore, it’s not difficult to see why the great Luangpu Kamphan is so well-respected by everyone in the Nakhon Phanom province. In fact, many local Thais venerate him as a living Arahant. 

(Wat Kosadaram was home to another important northeastern Buddhist monk, Luang Pu Kumpan Kosapanya. Within the compound, the Phra That Mahachai houses holy Buddha relics, the largest wooden engraved Buddha image, and the region’s most exquisite wall murals. Buddhist devotees visit the Achan Bua Temiyo Museum to view his personal items and pay respect to his corpse, which miraculously doesn’t decompose though it was never chemically treated.)

Unfortunately, Luangpu Kamphan passed away peacefully on the 24th November, B.E. 2546, at 01.59hr, in his kuti. He was 88, having spent a total of 58 rain retreats in his lifetime. 

Prayer for all Luangpu Kumphan Amulet's:

阿王(身穿深蓝色衣服那位)去到柔佛洲拜见龙谱恩。他抱着龙谱像他的亲身父亲一样。隔天他既然拿了马币十千令吉乐捐给龙谱。猪哥哥(名字,龙普恩的助手)问他为什么捐那么大的一笔钱呢?他就开始讲事情的经过。很多个月前他去到龙普恩的庙宇拜见过龙谱。在拜见当中,龙普恩问他晚上要在庙过一晚吗?他既然拒绝了龙谱的一番好意。当他离开之前龙谱再次问他:要在庙过一晚吗?。他很坚强的推了龙谱的好意并且马上要回星洲。临走之前龙谱恩为他念经,祈福。当天他搭着同一天的巴士回到星加坡。当到了星洲已经是隔一天的早上了,他冲冲忙忙赶着上班。他骑着摩托车在上班的路程不幸给巴士撞倒。当他醒来时,已经是睡在急救室的数十天后。医生告诉他:你发生意外,你既然没事是个奇迹。他心里很迷乱。当警察先生向他录取口供时,他看了对方巴士司机的口供。他当场吓呆了!他给巴士撞倒后拖着走了一段路才停下来。可是他只想起给巴士撞倒后龙谱恩抱着他救了他一命,过后人就在急救室里头。全像一场梦!没有骨折,没有流血,没丧命。他没有带任何一位高憎的佛牌或其它东西。什么都没有!空白。如果有一天,你们有机会见到他请访问他吧。
