Luang Phor Foo是一位非常慈愛的大師，對信眾相當親切及關愛，受人敬仰，除了知名更是受到信眾信賴，所以經常都有非常多信眾，特地到佛寺拜見大師，請Luang Phor Foo 指點迷津，而大師對於參與法會加持開光，及製作佛牌方面，都可說是相當有經驗的，每次大師督造的佛寶聖物都很受到佛牌收藏家、及當地百姓的喜愛，許多外府佛寺，也都會邀請大師參與佛牌聖物的督造法會，一同加持，因為很多人都知道，凡受到大師加持祝福的佛寶，將會更加有力量. 

在當地，大師佛牌聖物護佑信眾的實蹟非常多，多數都是在護身避險、增加運勢及得到財富的方面，常有許多信眾因得到大師佛寶的相助，都會回到佛寺感謝大師，其中不乏達官貴人及富商，然而，德高望重的大師儘管已經威名遠播，對於信眾供養的金錢或是冠上的封號都毫不在意，沉默寡言的大師，仍專心致力在弘法及普渡眾生，對於自身修行非常嚴謹，儘管大師已經高齡，仍不會拒絕接見信眾及遠赴外地為弘法或為信眾加持，讓許多信眾都非常敬佩. 早年更經常去Luang Phor Sakorn，Luang Phor Sin 兩師兄弟的法會加持. 現在聲名大噪的Luang Phor Anam，就是他徒弟之一.
