Luang Phor Toh, or official name of Chao Khun Prarachsangwara Bhimonda, was a local of Bangkontee district, Samutsongkram province.
He was born on March 27 B.E.2430 to the family of Mr.Loy and Mrs.Tub Ruttanakon, who had another child named Mr.Chuey , the younger brother of LP Toh.

By the time he was 13, both parents had passed away, and Luang Phor Kaew, a relative, moved him away to stay at Wat Pradoochimplee, where he was educated by Luang Poo Suek, the then abbot of the temple.

At the age 17, he was ordained as a novice, but unfortunately a day after, LP Suek passed away.

As a result Mr.Klai and Mrs.Pun, LP Suek's relatives, decided they would do all they could to support LP Toh until he was 20, at which time he was ordained as a monk by LP Saeng (Phra Kru Sammana Tamsamahtahn) of Wat Paknam, at 3.30 PM., on July 16, B.E.2540.
