Wat Ram Poeng

The Northern Insight Meditation Centre contains wooden buildings decorated with hand-painted gold details and pairs of white dragons at temple entrances.

The temple began teaching insight meditation in 1973 under Phra Ajarn Tong Sirimangalo before transitioning leadership to Phra Suphan Ajinnasilo.

Practitioners at Wat Ram Poeng follow strict meditation schedules, wear white clothing, maintain silence, and participate in morning chanting rituals before meals.

The center provides individual rooms for meditation students who participate in alternating walking and sitting sessions focusing on mindfulness techniques.

The temple functions as an office for Pra Abhidhamma studies and contributes to preserving Northern Tripitaka scriptures through printing initiatives.
