Backpacking Meditation Retreat

[jayjay171275]

Hi all, I am travelling to Thailand soon, backpacking to different meditation retreats and staying at monasteries. This is my first time backpacking I have been to Thailand before but only on holiday. I am going to Chiang Mai, Surat Thani and Ubon. I was wondering if there were anyone on here who had done this before? If you could share your experiences that would be great, I would like to know how easy it is to get around, where I could possibly meet other backpackers who are doing the same etc etc.....

Many thanks for any info.

I live alone on the land 15 rai just got one helper, the Wife visits every couple of weeks, it my own personal retreat, I thought retreat meant you wanted to be ALONE not with other backpackers??????? "Puzzled of the boonies"

As you can see by the level of the replies, theres more ignorance than knowledge about meditation and retreats in Thailand. i believe There's a few I'll ask my ex and get back to you.

You have chose n about the worst forum to ask this. They look with disdain at BPers-most are expats living with Thai wives and grasp any chance to flak out.

Go to travelfish.org-more aimed at your group. And there will be the odd BPer having done it, but they are very, very rare and also tend not to respond very much. Best known is Wat Suan Mohk near Surat-but thats a monthly session, starting by the month.

There is an army of miserble, synical old men on this site ready to spread the sarcasm. As you can see above.

Yes I didn't know if this would be the right place to post this, I have a few retreats that I'm already booked into, just didn't know if there was maybe a place where like minded people would meet up, and how easy it was to get around etc etc.... Thanks for your help.

If somebody is still looking for a good meditation centre I can recommend one between Pai and Maehongsong it is called Wat Pa Tam Wua Forest Monastery . You can stay there for free up to 10 days.

Here is some video i found:
