His father's name was Phrom, his mother's name was Krong, last name Duangpool. He had 5 siblings in total, and he was the 8th child.
Luang Por Ngern was a polite and well-behaved child with a sharp intellect. He also had a father who was well-behaved, diligent, and not a gangster as an example. He began studying with his father, who was a scholar, both Thai and Khmer scriptures and various magical spells. Father Phrom trained his children to adhere to morality and pray to the Buddha, both men and women.
Luang Pho Ngern was ordained as a monk on May 18, 2453, at the boundary marker of Wat Don Yai Hom, with Phra Palad Huay, the abbot of Wat Don Yai Hom, as his preceptor. He received the religious name... Chanthasuwanno.

After ordination, he began studying the Dhamma and Vinaya, practicing Vipassana meditation, and within his first rains retreat, he was able to fluently recite the Patimokkha. He also regularly reviewed the incantations he had learned from his father. He spent five years practicing until he was proficient. In his sixth rains retreat, he went on a pilgrimage to practice meditation in peace and solitude, following the example of the old masters who had continued to practice.
When he returned to Ban Don Yai Hom, Chao Khun Phuttarakkhit appointed him as the deputy abbot of Wat Don Yai Hom on May 30, 2459. When Phra Palat Huai, the abbot, passed away, Luang Pho Ngern was appointed as the abbot of Wat Don Yai Hom on May 2, 2466.

History of Wat Don Yai Hom
Wat Don Yai Hom is a temple located between two abandoned temples, Wat Khok Yai Hom and Noen Phra (ancient site). This area is the location of the legendary story of Phraya Kong and Phraya Phan, a local folklore legend. It is the location of the house of Yai Hom, who raised Phraya Phan. Noen Phra is likely to be an abandoned temple that has been abandoned for more than a thousand years.
Around 2398, Luang Pho Sap, the abbot of Wat Ngiew Rai in Nakhon Chai Si District, saw that Wat Khok Yai Hom was in a very dilapidated state and could not be renovated. Furthermore, it was in a bad location. He, together with the local villagers, chose a new location for the temple, located between the abandoned temples "Noen Phra" and "Wat Khok Yai Hom."

It was a rice field belonging to Mr. Kong and Mr. Chim, members of the Inthanchui family, who donated it to build a temple in 2400. When the temple was completed, Luang Pho Sap invited Phra Winaithorn Huabphromsorn, 25 years old, ordained for 5 years from Wat Thong, Bangkok Noi District, Bangkok, who was studying Buddhist scriptures at Wat Suwannaram, Bangkok Noi District, to be the first abbot.
Wat Don Yai Hom is a famous temple in Nakhon Pathom Province. People come here to make merit, pay homage to Luang Pho Ngern and pay respect to the statue of Grandma Hom.

*Neun Phra
It is an ancient historical site located at the former Wat Kok Yai Hom temple. It is currently the Pho Ngern Witthaya Secondary School.
In 2479, Luang Pho Ngern, the abbot of Wat Don Yai Hom, excavated broken bricks from the hillside to build a chapel. Upon digging deeper, he discovered two green, square pillars, approximately four meters high, with carved designs at the tips resembling the pillars of the Sanchi Chedi of King Ashoka the Great. They also included a crouching stone deer, a Dvaravati-era stone Buddha image, and a broken stone Dharmachakra sema. The top of these stone pillars has a fork for placing the Dharmachakra sema, similar to those found at Phra Pathom Chedi, Wat Phra Ngam, Wat Phra Prathon, and Sanam Chandra Palace.
This stone pillar is currently located at Wat Don Yai Hom, while the crouching deer and Buddha image have been sent to the National Museum. These artifacts provide evidence that this area was originally an old temple, and that the mound itself likely served as the base of a large chedi dating back to the Dvaravati period, over 1,000 years ago. It is considered a sacred and important site.
