TikTok user ‘auyary13’ began posting videos of his elderly father who is an old monk. The account has over 5,00,000 followers. The monk is called Luang Pho Yai and is said to be 163 years old. According to rumours, he has been practicing Sokushinbutsu which means self-mummification.
The viral videos of Luang Pho Yai received nearly more than a million views.
Many users are questioning is he really 163 years old?
Since November 2021, the monk’s granddaughter has been sharing the videos. In January 2022, the rumours were all around that the man was 163 years old. Auyary13 cleared the air by commenting on her post that he is 109 years old.
One of the old monk’s videos went viral in which he can be seen lying on a hospital bed in Thailand. His body is extremely frail. He is getting treated at Dan Khun Thot hospital after breaking a hip bone. Auyary13’s grandfather has been improving. Her recent videos show that he’s been able to eat, exercise, and visit with family.
