Wat Suan Mokkh’s International Dhamma Hermitage Meditation Retreats

Here is a video overview of the International Dhamma Hermitage (IDH) Meditation Retreat site in Chaiya, Thailand as part of Buddhadasa Bhikku’s Wat Suan Mokkh Theravada Buddhist temple.

Each month scores (and sometimes over 100) meditation retreat participants make their way to the IDH for a 10-day silent retreat of walking and sitting meditation. The location is ideal, being over a mile from the main highway linking Thailand’s central and southern provinces.

This site is separate from (across the highway) the main Suan Mokkh Buddhist temple, but the same parent organization.

Enjoy the video – if you do go to do a ten-day retreat here, can you let us know about it in the comments section? Thank you…

  1. Hi , I attended the retreat early January this year. I met a couple who I would love to stay in contact with. The woman has curly red hair and is speech impaired. Her husband is from Germany but they are both living in Switzerland. Sorry I don’t have more details, however I would much appreciate for you to pass on my e-mail to them.
    Thanks to all involved for making last month a fantastic experience for me.
    Kind regards, Kurt

  2. Hi, sorry, I don’t have any day to day contact with them at the retreat. Maybe one of them will see this?
