Luang Pu Chue Phanthamutto was a disciple of Luang Pu Phang Chittakutto, a venerable monk of the Isan region, at Wat Udom Khongkha Khiri Khet (Wat Doon), Manchakhiri District, Khon Kaen Province. Luang Pu was a meditation monk who practiced Vipassana and often went on pilgrimage to peaceful and serene places, especially near natural water sources. This helped him gain a deep understanding of the geographical landscapes, livelihoods, and issues faced by the people, particularly those related to the water sources of Northeastern Thailand, such as the Chi River, which originates from the mountains in Nong Bua Daeng District and flows through Ban Khwao, Nong Bua Rawe, Chaturat, and Mueang Chaiyaphum Districts.

In 1980 (B.E. 2523), while Luang Pu was meditating at Wat Khao Ta Ngoh Udomphon, the people of Nong Bua Rawe faced severe water shortages. He decided to develop the water source “Lam Chiang Ta,” which flows into the Chi River, to serve as a water reservoir for the benefit of the communities in Nong Bua Rawe and nearby areas. With limited funds from the faithful and government support, Luang Pu led monks, his disciples, and villagers to construct an earthen dam, providing water for agriculture to the people of Ban Khwao, Nong Bua Rawe, and Mueang Chaiyaphum Districts.
