Waiphot Phetsuphan (พราน สกุลณี). Songwriter: Chiu Pichit.
The song serves as a formal "bidding farewell" (La Buat) to his parents, relatives, and fans. It mentions specific figures like his creditors, local doctors, and neighbors, reflecting the communal nature of Thai village life.
The song (ไวพจน์ลาบวช 21 มิ.ย.) by the legendary Waiphot Phetsuphan , the "King of Lae Music," is more than just a Luk Thung hit—it is a cultural landmark in Thailand. Released as an Official MV and Audio by Siangsiam, the song commemorates a real event: Waiphot’s actual ordination into the monkhood on June 21, 1969 . The Legacy of "June 21st"
The song was written by the renowned songwriter Chiu Pichit , who masterfully captured the life story and spiritual intentions of Waiphot.
There are actually two famous versions. The original "Waiphot La Buat" starts with "Twenty-first of June, I’m surely leaving to be ordained..." while the newer, often-searched version begins with "Twenty-first of June, the time I left before..." reflecting on his past ordination.
