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

This center is located in a wellness area, but you won't find herbal compresses here. It's a meditation center in the Buddhist sense, following the teachings of W. Wachiramethi. The focus is on Vipassana, mindfulness, and insight – a tradition that shapes much of Thai religious life. Those expecting pampering will be disappointed. However, those seeking an hour or a day of true peace will find it here.

It's located in Huai Sak, on the Mueang Chiang Rai side, and the atmosphere is more disciplined than gentle. That's precisely the point. It attracts both Thai practitioners and travelers, which is a good sign. Those who benefit most are travelers who arrive without a schedule and without any intention other than to dwell in silence. If you're new to Vipassana practice, it can be very helpful to learn a little about it beforehand.
