Wat Ram Poeng (Tapotaram)

My favourite temple to visit and meditate in Chiang Mai. I love the fact that I can just park my scooter, walk in and practice my meditation. Just like with physical workout, I like to go somewhere to practice my meditation. The group atmosphere really helps. People there are silently practicing and you feel carried by them all. So when I am in Chiang Mai I visit daily for a few hours.

I participated in vipassana mediation program for 7 days. It definitely left a significant mark in my life and made me a better person. The teachers, environment, architecture, food, accommodation, peers are all amazing. It feels like home. I’ve found much more clarity and peace.

Wat Ram Poeng is famous for its mediation practise and retreats.You can enquire about the live in meditation program and any cost at the foreigner office or email with the address l posted.Very peaceful place with beautiful treed area. The buildings are very well maintained and the architecture is stunning. There is also a resident Pikanee who is also available to take meditation.

Beautiful place for 25 day vipassana retreat. The full moon evening ceremony is wonderful to attend too. Wear white clothes.

I stayed at Wat Ram Poeng Meditation Center for 10 days and it was an incredible experience. The whole temple area has a calming positive energy and as a meditation student the monks teach you well. There are lessons and daily check ups with the master. If you are looking for an extraordinary experience or want to turn your life around I definitely recommend going there for a few days.

I found my peace here, extremely grateful for everyone I’ve met here. I’m so touched and appreciate every minute of my time in Wat Ram Poeng. 🙏🙏🙏

A peaceful place. Hope it continues to be free of tourists (like myself)

Came across this temple on Google maps. A meditation centre. Very spiritual and quiet. A large area. Beautiful temple interior. Slightly difficult to find. Parking available in the temple.
