Wat Ram Poeng (Tapotaram)

Wow, what I fabulous place, so peaceful and calm. You would never guess it was just 15 mins from the big city. I hadn't realised this was a meditation centre and the first time I've seen classes in operation. In one area of the site a group involved in chanting, whilst in one of the many halls, a monk was holding a teaching session. There is simple accommodation for people staying here. As for the Temple buildings, some beautiful open sided pavilions and the main Assembly Hall is richly decored. I think for anyone wanting to escape the stresses of everyday life, you could do far worse than coming here.

Silent and Clean Temple. Wondered by the evening prayers on Buddha Days [No Moon Day, Full Moon Day]. Phra Khru Monks can able to communicate in Thai, English, Chinese as well.

The First place of me for practice Vipassana meditation. I love this place. This temple has many trees that good atmosphere and there are small house (single house) has toilet inside for Yoki who practice meditate. There are zone between men and women when we make meditate. Don't worry about expenses here because Wat don't call any donation from you but if we practice meditate anywhere we should support that place, this one we should know. this place beautiful and peace. just one time of your life practice Vipassana meditate.

Beautiful temple that welcomes everyone with an interest in meditation. The lady at the front office is very helpful and friendly. We got to speak to 2 monks and were taught the basics of meditation. Naturally it's up to you and how often you practice but this was a lovely calming experience.

I stayed here for a 26-day Vipassana stay, one of the happiest months of my life! This place is filled with love and compassion which you can feel in the air as soon as you approach the temple. Compared with other Vipassana centres the temple is quite liberal. Not to mention the amount of insight that I received during my stay. I am returning here within a couple of weeks for another month!
