Wat Ram Poeng (Tapotaram)

Best vippassana experience in my life and I have been to 3 different ones in the last 2,5 years. First the level of teachings/ Dhamma talk is 10 out of 10 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Sukito really stands out in comparison to other monks, he sees everyone as equal, very trauma aware facilitator and has a personal and gentle approach to every single person in the group. He made everyone feel SEEN AND HEARD 🙏💚😇. Honestly, Sukito made this place special for me. I don't have this level of trust and reliability with any other monk at Ram Poeng. In fact it was a bit triggering to talk to Thai monks for someone who has trouble listening to authority sometimes. And Sukito has deep understanding compassion and never tries to dominate the room or think of himself more important 🙏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Food and accommodation was great, men and women are separated during food hours and we had chanting before meals which was beautiful 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Encouraged silent retreat and the fact that they take away the phones and encourage 10 hours of mediation with no distractions and Internet was really special. Thank you 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 💚🙏😇

The most beautiful and calming temple I’ve ever been too. Highly recommended.

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.

Wat Ram Poeng is a beautiful and peaceful temple in Chiang Mai, perfect for anyone looking to meditate or even get temporarily ordained. Surrounded by nature, it has a really calm vibe that makes it easy to relax and focus. The temple is known for its meditation retreats, and they welcome both locals and foreigners. It’s a great spot to slow down, clear your mind, and connect with yourself.

Had an amazing experience here, the Vipassana retreat course is really helpful, you can definitely learn a lot from it.

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.

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.

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