Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

This is a meditation center, not a wellness retreat for an afternoon. It's located on the fourth floor of Paradise Park on Thanon Srinagarindra Street. The meditation taught here follows the tradition of Grandmaster Jinbodhi. Teachers lead structured sessions rather than leaving participants to sit alone in silence and hope for the best. Those who write about it report improvements in their health and that they bring their mothers, partners, and children. That says it all: It's a community, and it's worth coming back for.

Anyone seeking a unique wellness experience in Bangkok should look elsewhere. However, for those who already meditate or wish to learn professionally, a trip to the east is worthwhile. Beginners are warmly welcomed, but the courses have a spiritual focus, so an open mind is recommended.
