Phra KK

Phra KK has been a monk for 16 years. He grew up in the hills of Bangladesh and lost his mother when he was 8, and then was orphaned at 13. He started speaking to a monk about why he was feeling this pain after losing his mother and father. The Monk made him realize that he wasn’t the only one who had lost someone and that many people lost loved ones. Not long after that conversation, KK decided to become a Monk and has been one for 16 years. He has studied in Myanmar, India, Sri Lanka then I had an opportunity to come to Thailand.
