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]
