Songdhammakalyani Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Phra Prathon, Thailand.

The monastery features multiple buildings designed in Thai architectural style with meditation halls, learning spaces, and residential quarters for female monks.

Established in 1960 by Voramai Kabilsingh, this monastery emerged as the first Buddhist institution in Thailand created specifically for women practitioners.

The monastery functions as an educational center where female monastics and laywomen gather to study Buddhist teachings and participate in traditional ceremonies.

The monastery maintains regular schedules for meditation sessions, teachings, and workshops, with information available through their official website.

This institution stands as Thailand's sole monastery for modern Theravada bhikkhuni, where Dhammananda serves as the current abbess.
