347 Happy life meditation retreat
Meditation taught properly, by someone who explains the why before the how. Sessions here run around two hours and start with theory, what meditation is actually for, before moving into guided practice across several techniques. Master Kaie leads most of it, and the thing people keep coming back to is her patience. Beginners aren't made to feel like beginners. More than one person has written about coming in carrying anxiety or depression and leaving with a different way of looking at it, which is a bigger claim than I'd normally repeat, but it comes up often enough to mention.
There's more than one format. A three-day retreat runs about two hours a day, and separate teachers handle chanting and sound healing sessions. It sits in a temple area rather than a studio, which changes the feel of the whole thing, and the Silver Temple is right there. Plenty of people pair the two in one morning instead of just photographing the temple and moving on. One reviewer's gripe: the teacher checking her phone mid-session, which does undercut the point a little.

Reviews from Google
Very positive experience with Master Kaie. I did the three day retreat (2 hrs per day) and also had the opportunity to do a chanting and sound healing session with another teacher. I liked the practical personal development focus of the program and it is nice to do this in a temple area rather than a yoga studio. My only suggestion would be to recommend Master Kaie does not use her phone during the session as it distracts a little from the focus and concentration and peace we are trying to find together. I recommend others try this when in Chiang Mai.
Best meditation experience I had in a while, and the best in Thaïlande. I was lucky to learn and practice with Master Kaie. Her approach is really beginner friendly and helps to understand and learn about Meditation. I recommend taking this course if you are in Chiang Mai and want to learn more about yourself. And you will also be able to have a look at the silver temple, the most beautiful temple in Chiang Mai.
Magical experience, I really need! Instead of only visit the Silver temple for taking photos, you can do the meditation class as well. It really give a different experience and a way to connect to yourself ! Thank you for your kindness 🙏🏻

Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas
Learn Wat Pho First
Wat Pho in Bangkok is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage education. Their on-site massage pavilion offers excellent treatments from students and graduates at reasonable prices — and you know the technique is authentic.
Communicate Pressure Preferences
Thai massage can be intense. Say 'bao bao' for lighter pressure or 'nак nак' for harder. A good therapist will check in, but don't hesitate to speak up — suffering in silence defeats the purpose.
Book Longer Sessions
A 60-minute massage is fine, but 90 or 120 minutes allows the therapist to work thoroughly. The price difference is often only 200–400 THB for an extra hour — worth it for a deeper, more relaxing experience.
