The lift story of him is filled with mysteries and miracles. Luang Phor Kob stayed in Wat Khao Salika, Lopburi which is about 180 km from Bangkok.
On one occasion, the weather was bad stormy and heavy downpour flooded the village. Being an old temple, the people were worried if it could withstand the bad weather. Noticing that his disciples were worried, Luang Phor Kob told them not to worry as the rain was was going to stop and indeed, the rain did stop. Soon after his disciples became hungry. At that time, they heard frogs croaking outside, which made them hungry. No one dared to ask permission from Luang Phro Kob to catah frogs. Luang Phor Kob, as if reading their minds,told them to catch some frogs to eat. They were happy and went to catch the frogs, but after an hour they still didn't manage to catch the frogs. They had no choice but to the temple disappointed and hungry. On seeing that, Luang Phr Kob took a basket and returned with it fifteen minutes later, with the basket full of frogs! He instructed them to eat the frogs only within the temple and not to bring them home. But one disciple took a few home secretly. When he reached home, to his surprise, the frogs are no longer there and in their place were leaves with magical yants written on them! He immediately went back to find Luang Phor Kob to seek forgiveness. This incident earned Luang Phor Kob the name " Kob" which means frog in Thai language.
