Buddha statue at top of a hill at Suan Mokkh
Just south of the small town of Chaiya, which lies north of Surat Thani, Thailand is a Buddhist temple known world wide for it’s quality meditation retreats held monthly. Usually well over 100 persons attend each meditation retreat and some attend many of them. Naturally there are more Europeans than Americans there – Americans not taking long vacations like those in Europe and other countries tend to.

If you’re looking to deepen your meditative practice, then attending this 10-day intensive meditation retreat may be just what the doctor didn’t order – but what you need.
When I lived in Surat Thani I traveled by motorbike to Suan Mokkh more than a dozen times. The temple grounds are expansive – covering many acres. I spent many hours practicing walking meditation through the forest at Suan Mokkh and I ventured across the highway and down the country road to the “International Dhamma Hermitage” where the monthly meditation retreats are held on a couple occasions for photos – not to stay.
Recently a friend created an entire site dedicated to the International Dhamma Hermitage experience at Suan Mokkh. There is more information at this one website than any website I’ve ever seen about Suan Mokkh. The information was gathered primarily through his first hand experiences as he’s been there multiple times over the years to attend the retreats.
Best of Life!
