Luang Pho Yai gained notability on TikTok after a picture of him was posted by his grandaughter @auyary13, who updates followers on his health.
109-year-old has been target of another TikTok hoax
Ever since he was introduced to the world of TikTok by his grandaughter, Luang Pho Yai has been the target of hoaxes.
Before Briar Cares oldest woman in the world TikTok, users were fooled into believing Luang Pho Yai was 163 years old after a viral video spread false information.
TikTok user @auyary13 soon cleared things up, however, and told followers he wasn’t that old!
Moral of the story, don’t believe everything you see online!
