'''Wat Bang Nom Kho''' ({{langx|th|วัดบางนมโค}}) is a [[Wat|Buddhist temple]] in [[Amphoe Sena|Sena district]], [[Ayutthaya Province]], Thailand.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tourismthailand.org/Attraction/wat-bang-nom-kho |title=Wat Bang Nom Kho |author=<!--Not stated--> |publisher=[[Tourism Authority of Thailand]] |access-date=19 January 2022}}</ref>  The temple was made famous by {{ill|Luang Por Pan|th|พระครูวิหารกิจจานุการ (ปาน โสนนฺโท)|v=ib}} who was renowned for blowing the Diamond Armour [[Yantra|Yant]] onto the foreheads of his disciples.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thairath.co.th/horoscope/belief/2127496 |title=รู้จักยันต์เกราะเพชร หลวงพ่อปาน มีพุทธคุณอย่างไร |trans-title=Benefits of Diamond Armour of Luang Por Pan |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=29 June 2021 |publisher=[[Thai Rath]] |access-date=19 January 2022}}</ref>  According to legend, many of these disciples, after death, were found to have an impression of the Yant mysteriously embedded into their skulls.  The Yant was allegedly revealed to Luang Por Phan in a dream, which led him to its discovery on a metal template hidden within a [[Stupa|Chedi]].

Luang Por Phan was also reputed to have received the ability to make powder based amulets of [[Gautama Buddha|Buddha]] images sitting on animals from a spirit that appeared as a [[mayfly]] ({{lang|th|ชีปะขาว}}).  These amulets are extremely sought after and expensive due to their reputed powers.
