Nestled in the heart of Chiang Mai, Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path With The Buddha is an educational wellness centre dedicated to sharing the original teachings of Gotama Buddha. Led by Teacher David, the centre draws visitors and long-term students alike who are seeking a genuine, grounded understanding of Buddhist philosophy, including the Four Noble Truths and the Dhamma. It sits at a well-known address on Rachadamnoen Road, placing it within easy reach of the city's historic old town.
Visitors consistently describe Teacher David's approach as clear, patient, and accessible, making complex teachings understandable for newcomers and those with prior study alike. The centre offers structured sessions including Sunday morning meditation classes, and many attendees find the experience so valuable that they return multiple times during their stay. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, with an emphasis on practical application rather than ritual or ceremony.
For those unable to visit in person, Teacher David also maintains a presence on YouTube, which has introduced students from around the world to his teachings before they arrive in Chiang Mai. Prospective visitors are advised to check availability in advance, as no opening hours or booking details are currently listed online. Given the small-group and personal nature of the sessions, reaching out directly before arriving is strongly recommended to confirm schedules and participation.

I started studying with Teacher David in 2022 after discovering one of his YouTube videos. It did not take long for me to realize he made sense. Since then, he has answered well over 100 questions of mine, I met him in-person and he has helped me through direct message on Facebook and personal discussions via Zoom (without expecting or wanting anything in return). Since studying with Teacher David I have reunited with my wife and son, I let go of attachments and I think more clearly now. I recommend Teacher David Roylance to anyone interested in improving their personal and professional life.
Originally came here for the Sunday morning mediation, but found it so useable that ended up coming back 3 more days. David’s teaching style is very simple, easy to understand, and full of patience. Thank you very much for your time David!
Teacher David has done a truly commendable job compiling and presenting the original teachings of Gotama Buddha in a clear, organized, and accessible way. His explanations of the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and other core aspects of the Dhamma reflect a deep commitment to making the Buddha’s teachings available to modern practitioners in both written and spoken formats, freely and with generosity. For students who are sincerely interested in learning the words of the Buddha, his structured programs, books, and online materials offer a helpful foundation, especially in the early stages of study and practice. Like with any teacher, it is wise to approach the learning process with mindfulness and inner observation, not only regarding the content of the teachings, but also how those teachings are expressed and embodied in action. The Dhamma encourages each of us to investigate for ourselves, to observe with wisdom and calm awareness, and to verify the teachings through our own direct experience. This resource can be valuable for many, especially when approached with a clear mind, discernment, and a commitment to inner reflection. May all beings who come across these teachings be guided toward wisdom, peace, and liberation. 🙏🏽☺️

Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas
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.
Try a Herbal Compress
Add a herbal compress (luk pra kob) to your massage — steamed bundles of lemongrass, turmeric, and camphor pressed into sore muscles. It's deeply therapeutic and uniquely Thai. Usually just 200–300 THB extra.
