Ruesi is the Thai name for a hermit sage (known as Rishi in India).

In the West he is usually called a Yogi, from the Yogic practices applied by many of the Ruesi. There are various levels and classifications of Ruesi, depending on the intensity of their practice or number of moral precepts kept.

Ruesi are hermit sages who spend their time meditating and developing psychic powers and collecting magical herbs, minerals, rarities and other substances. They use the magical ingredients to make special love charms, spells and protective amulets. They wish to help other beings to be happier in life, and do this by telling fortunes, making rituals and spells to reduce bad karma, chase evil influences and spirits away, protect from one's enemies, or even increase one's luck and wealth with a spell for wealth and good fortune.

Some Rishi wear a reddish brown robe, whereas some even wear white like the Prahm. Some wear white and devote themselves exclusively to healing medical ailments. This kind of Ruesi is known as Chiwok, named after the Rishi Chivaka who was the official doctor of the Lord Buddha.

A Chiwok Ruesi would collect herbs minerals and healing substances for making his healing potions. This kind of Ruesi can perhaps be compared to the druid bards who were also healers, using herbal potions and ointments. A Chiwok Ruesi is also an expert in orthopedic massage, and other matters, such as Horoscope.

The best Chiwok Ruesi to approach for healing or massage is perhaps the extremely well studied and practiced Master; Ruesi Tevijjo. Ruesi Tevijjo (or affectionately known as Ruesi David), is a Westerner who was ordained as a Buddhist novice monk in the West, where he learned under a Thai master from Chiang Mai Province. He later traveled to Thailand and studied natural medicine and spiritual healing methods both academically in University, as well as practically under the tutelage of various master Ruesi of National renown (for example Ruesi Sompit).

Of the types of Ruesi who does Sak Yant, most will be of the Dabos variety, such as Ajarn Thoy Dabos (there are many other subcategories of Ruesi within the main variety who wear reddish robes). The Dabos will sometimes also wear a tiger skin over his red robe, because of the tiger skin worn by Lord Shiva, who was and is the original Maha Ruesi (great Ruesi). A Dabos Ruesi will normally have at least one Ruesi mask of the Thai Deity “Ruesi Por Gae Ta Fai” on his altar.
