Brief history of GM Keow
Grand Master Archan Keow (Manee Saitong Dee) is a 55 year old White Robe Arjan (Kalawat), born in Saraburi but later moved to the Bangkok. Archan Keow started his magicals skills as early as the age of 19 yrs with the renowned Archan Chum Chaikiri. Perfection of his skills with Archan Chum for 6 years until the latter passed away on 9th August BE 2525

The fate on how AC Keow met Archan Thoy was really an astonishing feat by Great AC Chum. According to AC Keow, when AC Chum passed away, his body didn’t decomposed but instead transform into copper ! Later part which AC Chum was cremated together with his beloved wife (also a Archan) 5 years after his death in BE 2530. One particular night after AC Chum was cremated, ‘he’ went into the dream of AC Keow, guiding him to look for a person by the name of AC Thoy & he will lead him to be the next great master with the guidance of AC Thoy. After much seeking for AC Thoy, AC Keow managed to met him & suprisingly, they were actually long time collegues since then without knowing that both shared the same interests in Wichai. AC Thoy, an humble person with great knowledge both in academic & Wichai, seeing the former with a kind & straight character, undoubtfully passed his fully learnt skills as taught by Phor Tiang to Archan Keow to pass on the lineage of Great Master Phor Tiang due today. In addition, that made Archan Keow the only disciple of Master Thoy as recognised til date.
