Wat Pa Tam Wua Forest Monastery

Wat Tam Wua is a Theravadan Buddhist Monastery and Vipasanna meditation centre located in Northern Thailand. We welcome people of all levels of meditation experience, all faiths, at all places in their journey. Beginners are as welcome as experts. It is a place for those who seek to progress on the path of mindfulness, compassion and wisdom.

​

At Tam Wua we aim to provide an opportunity for personal and spiritual growth in a beautiful setting with an open and inclusive atmosphere. We ask that you bring an honest intention to learn and to grow, and a willingness to follow the Thai Forest tradition for as long as you stay.

​

Daily teachings are given by Thai Forest monks in both English and in Thai. 

​

While in Tam Wua, you will be expected to behave in a way that is appropriate for a Buddhist monastery.

 

Meditation sessions must be attended, and you will be expected to help in keeping the monastery grounds clean.
