Wat Pa Thung Wua

Wat Pa Thung Wua, Buddhist temple in Tha Kradan, Thailand.

Wat Pa Thung Wua, also known as Nirotharam, is a Buddhist temple nestled in forested surroundings with traditional Thai architecture, meditation halls, and residential structures for monks. The grounds provide dedicated spaces designed for spiritual practice and extended visitor retreats.

The temple was established in 1995 when Ms. Wannna Kanchanapinyowong donated land, with Mr. Samart Sutthangkakul later contributing additional acreage to support the community. These donations created the foundation for this Buddhist center to develop and grow.

The temple serves as a center for serious meditation practice, where the daily rhythm of monastic life reflects Buddhist teachings through simple living and plant-based meals. Visitors can observe how the community prioritizes inner practice over material comfort in their daily routines.

The temple offers accommodation for extended meditation retreats and hosts regular teachings from senior monks throughout the year. Visitors should contact ahead to learn about current programs or to arrange their retreat plans.

Under the guidance of Senior Monk Nanthayan, the temple takes a flexible approach to meditation postures, allowing practitioners to find comfort during their practice. This makes the place welcoming to people with varying physical abilities and experience levels.
