Phey Sihawong took an instant liking to fresh-faced monk Wirapol Sukphol, who, in 2000, moved into Nom Jan village in the Si Sa Ket district of Thailand's Isaan region. The 70-year-old grandmother often cooked Wirapol's favourite wild-mushroom curry and carried it to his hut, even though her bones ached from working dawn to dusk in the rice paddies. "There was something special about the monk," she says. "He made people feel good to be around him. He was a holy man and people said he had special powers."
