Suan Mokkh International Dharma Hermitage
Suan Mokkh International Dharma Hermitage (IDH) holds 10-day silent meditation retreats in the Thai forest tradition founded by Buddhadasa Bhikkhu. Accommodation is spartan — a stone pillow, a wooden bed — and all meals are 100% vegan vegetarian, simple and nourishing. No phones, no reading material, no talking: just the breath, the forest, and the Dhamma. Run on a donation (dana) basis with nominal registration fees, Suan Mokkh IDH is one of the most respected and authentic meditation retreats in Southeast Asia.
