Fuang was a student of Ajahn Lee^[11][12] at Wat Asokaram, a monastery near Bangkok. After Ajahn Lee's death in 1961, Fuang continued at Wat Asokaram where he was expected to become abbot.^{[13][better source needed]} However, in 1965 Fuang left to pursue greater solitude which he felt would improve his meditation practice. About 1971,^{[13][better source needed]} Fuang moved to Wat Thamma Sathit in Rayong Province, where he lived as abbot until his death in 1986.^[14] Fuang's students included American monk Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu,^[15][11][12] who studied with him for ten years.^[16]
