My time at the temple taught me so many lessons that I'll cherish forever. This was an amazing opportunity to briefly live the lifestyle of a monk/nun, seeing the benefits and challenges, all while learning about buddhism. I would observe prayer twice a day (in Thai) and work for a few hours (sweeping, dishes, etc.). There was no pressure to work and I could relax, go on a walk or do whatever I would like. Very nice private room & bathroom too. If you have any interest in learning more about buddhism, definitely apply. I hope it has the same impact on you that it had on me :)

I left the temple with a heart full of gratitude for having been able to share those days with such wonderful and warm-hearted people. I found so much wisdom in the Zen Buddhism practised in this temple, that it would be wonderful to return :) I think that the dimension of the experience cannot be expressed in words, it is subtle and powerful at the same time. Thanks again for everything 🙏🏽🌞 ขอบคุณทุกท่านมากๆครับ

It's honestly hard to summarize everything I want to say in such a short space. This experience truly changed me, and I am beyond grateful for it. The people are so kind, open, generous and supportive. I was able to really feel what it's like to live in a local Thai community and learn about Buddhism—and most of all, about myself. A big, special thank you to Phutthamat for the wise words, deep conversations, smiles, and love. She made a real impact on my stay and on my life. The only “bad thing” is that i didn't stay longer. But one thing is certain: I will return.

I hope this review can help anyone who's unsure about whether to try this experience or not. DO IT. Everyone who lives in this temple will make you feel at home. You'll learn so much, be guided, inspired, and truly listened to. It doesn't matter if you don't speak Thai they will always find a way to make you feel included and help you understand everything. I feel incredibly grateful to have lived such an experience, where the days are not a race against time, but a space to be present and truly live in the moment. The temple is beautiful, but what makes it truly special are the people❤️❤️

It's hard to put in words how meaningful this experience was. It wasn't only the Temple/activities —collecting food, cleaning spaces, gardening and community work (I did everything except social media, assembling furniture and cooking)— but also about the incredible Thai people, volunteers, children, and the community. I wholeheartedly recommend the experience to anyone willing to immerse themselves in Buddhism, learn from monks/nuns and approach daily meditation in body/mind. This is an authentic experience, so come prepared for mosquito, heat, early mornings, and simple but lovely facilities
