About Kruba Srivichai:
Kruba Srivichai (1878–1939) was a major figure in Northern Thai Buddhism. Renowned for his devotion, humility, and extensive temple and road construction, he is considered a holy architect of the Dharma in the Lanna region. His life was marked by hardships, including accusations of heresy, but he always remained faithful to the Dharma and was venerated by thousands of followers. Wat Ban Pang was one of his founding temples.
