Wat BangHoi, B.E.2483, Phim Lek
In B.E.2483, Mr. Chote KimGuanHeng, the temple warden of Wat BangHoi, Nakonnayok, invited LP Jaad of Wat BangKrabao, Prachinburi, to patronize the Bosth building. By the advice of LP Jaad, three size of Phra Krings--Phim Yai, Phim Klang and Phim Lek  were created in that occasion. Acharn Phong  ChuaChartKom, an Ayuthayan layman Guru who posessed impenetrability Visha, contacted Wat Suthat and was granted a holy bronze rod (Chanuan) from Somdej Phra Sangkharaj (Pae), Wat Suthat, after which the bronze rod was melt with raw bronze metal to cast the Krings. The above BangHoi Kring is Phim Lek.

The Wat BangHoi Krings were blessed by 9 great Gurus presided by LP Jaad viz:
1. LP Jaad, Wat BangKrabao, Prachinburi
2. LP Chong, Wat NatangNok, Ayuthaya
3. LP Khong, Wat SamPaNgam, Chachoengsao
4. LP (Y)iee, Wat Sattaheep, Chonburi
5. LP Chaeng, Wat BangPhang, Nonthaburi

7. LP LP Cherd, Wat LadBuaKao, Chachoengsao
8. LP Ding, Wat BangNgua, Chachoengsao
9. LP Chaem, Wat Takong, Nakonpathom

So, Phra Kring Wat Banghoi is highly accepted as a greatest one and second to none.
