The modern forest monastery is founded by Ajahn Buddhadasa
Bhikkhu, one of Thailand’s most famous monks of Thailand. The
150-acre forest temple is located beside Highway No.41,
approximately 50 kilometers north from Surat Thani. With a
serene ambience, it is perfect for meditation with the temple
itself a combination of natural sandy grounds and rocks with
trees. Buddhadasa Bhikkhu’s teachings combine Zen, Taoism and
Christian elements with Theravada Buddism, attracting many Thais
and foreigners. The main attraction here is the Spiritual
Theatre which features drawings, art works, objects and poems
related to the teachings in the temple. A diverse collection of
Thai, Egyptian, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Tibetan and European
murals and sculptures can also be found here. The temple also
offers meditation course from January to October from 8:30 A.M.
