After he took over the post, Phrakhru made his first trip to Singapore with his master LP Walaput for 1 week. From then onwards, he visits Singapore once or twice a year and was invited to Malaysia by some devotees.
Due to his great contribution to the temples and Thai Buddhism, his effort was recognised by the royal temple.
