It was an interesting experience! First of all, the tasks we had to do were super chill, sometimes they told us there was nothing to do and we could practice our meditation skills. Their main goal was teaching us about buddhism but sometimes it was difficult due to the language barrier and our western mindset. I will really miss the nuns, they were super welcoming and funny!

Staying 5 days at the temple will always be an unforgetable memory for me. We arrived without knowing much about buddhism, wanting to learn more about it and how to involve it in our lifes. We left with that hole filled, meeting so many kind people in the process. The nuns were lovely and made sure that we felt great all the time! There were not many tasks to do, which made us feel not very helpful, and there was a language barrier which ended up in some unexpected situations. Those should probably be the things to improve, but even though, I would absolutely recommend the experience!

This experience was very much needed. I learned a lot about how to be more mindful, and in the present moment. And this is something that I think a lot of travelers need to know more about. I was always stressing and thinking about my next destination, without really enjoying the present moment. But this is the first time I truly enjoyed and was more in the moment. The room is nice and clean, the temple is beautiful and the people amazing. I was mostly with the nuns, and they all felt like family to me. They're super sweet and caring, and always looking out for you. The tasks are chill.

Just spent a week here and it was amazing. Everyone was so welcoming and it was an amazing opportunity to learn about buddhism. Khu Bar Chai the Center is very knowledgeable and what he told us has really stuck with us. It was the most relaxing worldpackers experience with daily prayer at 7am and 7pm, then for the rest of the day we just helped out around the temple and spent time talking with Khu Bar Chai the Center and the other monks and nuns, spending time meditating and learning about the teachings of Buddha.

Learning about Buddhism at the Center Raksarjai was a truly unique and deeply touching experience. I was welcomed and treated with such kindness, respect, and generosity by the nuns and monks.I had the opportunity to help in the kitchen and to participate in a special Vipassana meditation event in the mountains. I will always cherish everything I experienced during this week at the temple and carry the lessons I learned into my daily life. Special thanks to dear nun Somboon, who translated and helped me a lot, and to kruba Win and master Chaiwat, who shared a great deal of Buddhist knowledge.
