René Guyon was born at Sedan, Ardennes, and was involved in writing legal codes for Siam (present Thailand) and was the head judge of the supreme court of that country where he was given Thai name Phichan Bunyong ({{langx|th|พิชาญ บุลยง}}). He died in Bangkok.

The René Guyon Society, a now-defunct pro-pedophile organization, was named after him, though he did not found the society nor was he involved with it.{{Cite book |last1=Holmes |first1=Stephen T. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_zqOsZSZxYQC |title=Sex Crimes: Patterns and Behavior |last2=Holmes |first2=Ronald M. |date=2008-06-18 |publisher=SAGE |isbn=978-1-4129-5298-9 |pages=124 |language=en}}
