Bangkok Shambhala Meditation Center

My wife and I were in Bangkok and started going to the Sunday 2pm meditations at the Shambhala Center. We were really impressed by the space and the people at the center. The space was conducive to meditation, the practice was welcoming but not watered down; the instructors compassionate and kind. We enjoyed it so much that we did the meditation retreat they offered in late 2024 (I did all 5 days, my wife 3 days). There we had a fantastic experience. It wasn’t easy doing extended hours of meditation but the way they structured it with breaks between the seated meditation for walking meditation and yoga practice made it all much more doable. It was my first meditation retreat and by the end the moments of struggle were well worth it for the additional benefits it’s offered my daily meditation practice and general peace of mind. It also really connected us to a community of like-minded individuals living in and passing through Bangkok - a great community! Thanks to Jamie, Martina, Chin and George for everything! We look forward to coming back when we’re in Bangkok again!

I spent a month in Bangkok and had the priviledge to attend the Sunday and Wednesday meditation sessions that were freely offered (donation based) by the center. The sessions are beginner friendly, welcoming and inspiring. Thanks again all, looking forward to being back!

Great place to connect with one's inner self and to mediate. Various courses are also offered here throughout the year.
