Biography

Mokfa was born on Wednesday, the 9th lunar month (Northern Thailand) in 1880 (B.E. 2423) at Ban Hua Khuang, Nai Wiang Subdistrict, Mueang Nan district, Nan province. He was the eighth son of Maha Phrom Suratthada, the 64th ruler of Nan, and the second son of Chao Sri Sopha, the first consort. He had seven siblings from the same mother. At the age of 15, his father ordained him as a novice monk and disciple of Phra Bhikkhu Inthason, the abbot of Wat Hua Wiang Tai, to study Buddhist practices. He remained ordained as a novice monk at Wat Hua Wiang Tai until 1897 (B.E. 2440), after which he disrobed to assist in royal duties for his father. At the age of 25, he married Princess Bunsom Muangchai, the daughter of Chao Bunthawong and Mother Boonnam Muangchai.[1]

Mokfa died on 1 March 1958 at the age of 77.
