“Buddhists, Muslims, Christians, Jews: We all climb the same mountain.
The further up we climb with genuine intent, the closer we all get to the peak.
On the trail, one might claim to see a rabbit, the other might see a snake, the next one a pigeon.
Some might end up arguing with each other over who is really seeing the truth.
But this is not important. The essence lies in the mountain being the same one for all sincere seekers.”
How to get here
For the seasoned traveler, public transportation options are available. However, for first-time visitors it is easier to take a taxi from Bangkok. Another option is to download the Grab app, which is similar to Uber. Please check visiting options with us in advance, check the address with the taxi driver in advance and take our front desk number with you.
Directions can be found on Google Map.
