Biography

Life as a Buddhist monk

Praiwan was born into a poor family in Tha Mai, Chanthaburi.[1] Upon completing primary school, he entered monastic life so that he could further his study despite his family's financial situation.[1] He was first ordained as a novice in Sukhothai province. By the age of 18, he had attained Level 7 in the study of Pali, the language of the Theravada canon.[2] He moved to Wat Soi Thong in Bangkok for advanced studies and became the first novice monk from Sukhothai to complete Level 9 in Pali – equivalent to a bachelor's degree. By the time he was 20, he was ordained as a monk under the auspices of King Bhumibol Adulyadej.[3] He graduated with two-second degrees from Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University and Ramkhamhaeng University.[4] In September of 2021, he was made popular by his appearance on a Facebook Live in a joint appearance with Sompong Nakhonthaisong [th] (Luang Phi Sompong Talbuddhadho). More than 200,000 people watched the livestream. The Facebook Live was unpopular among Thai conservatives, however, as they believed the duo was making a mockery of Buddhism. Fans defended them, auguring the duo wanted to teach about dharma to Thai teenagers in a contemporary fashion.[5][6]
