I had an amazing time at the Center MC! I learnt alot about staying present which for me as an over thinker has helped my life dramatically. I loved having a great routine everyday with the Center and chanting included. The only thing I will say to anyone is to bring separate work clothes and the Center clothes as your clothes will get dirty when working and it can be tough sometimes but it's all worth it! The place is so peaceful and relaxing I felt very calm and content here. The accommodation and food is amazing and I learnt alot from the monks about Buddhism. I would love to return!

It was my second time at the center, and again it was amazing! There's no better place to go if you wanna learn about Buddhism and the Center, also you learn a lot about yourself as you practice meditations. All the monks are amazing, had such a great time with them, teaching English, learning Thai, gardening, cleaning, it was fantastic. If you thinking about going to this please please keep in mind about the rules and the behavior around the chanting area and the monks. Had an amazing time, already planning my return

I stayed at the Center for 11 days. It was amazing to live the same way as the bhikkhuni and get to know yourself more due to the Center. The volunteer work is kinda satisfying to do, it goes from cleaning up leaves to chopping wood. The people you meet at this place are all so kindhearted and easily to connect with. All in all I think the price of 200 baht is quite a bargain, it would certainly be worth double that.

Loved my time there! All of the work was simple and was more for your own mindfulness than difficult work. Everyone made me feel so welcomed and I loved learning about Buddhism and practicing the Center. I recommend!

It was the first volunteering experience for me and it was really an amazing one! The monks (especially Panya and Anya) taught me a lot about the Center and Bhuddism. The work varied most of the time, so I was never bored. I will miss the volunteers and monks I met there and the engaging conversations with them and of course the dogs too. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that appreciates a structured lifestyle and wants to learn about the Center and Bhuddism. If you visit the Dhuntanga the Center, please pet Popcorn for me :)

Good experience and nice time with the monks. My only complaint is for the stray dogs that live there and can be unpredictable sometimes.

Unforgettable experience! Be ready to work with amazing, like-minded volunteers, great staff, and strong female monks. They are just an inspiration. It was my first volunteer experience and it couldn't have a better start. I worked hard, give 100% of myself to the program, and as a benefit, I learned about Buddhism, lived with female monks (I will never forget), practiced the Center in a consistent way for 10 days, ate delicious food every day and met so many lovely people from all over the world. I recommend this program to anyone who wants to commit 100% of themselves to this experience.

This was my first volunteering and I couldn't had asked for a better one! I had an amazing time here, where I met people all over the world and learned a lot about the Center and buddhism. Punya is an amazing human being and has a lot of knowledge to spread for everybody. I will definitely come back soon.
