Welcome to Khao Tham Insight Meditation Center

Insight meditation retreats are offered at Khao Tham Insight Meditation Center in the beautiful forested hills above Baan Tai, on Koh PhaNgan, Thailand. The retreats are taught and managed by experienced meditation teachers at no charge.

You are welcome to come and meditate at Khao Tham any time.

Khao Tham Retreat Center is closed for renovations, for June and July 2019. Retreats will begin again on 10 August 2019.

Please contact Tookata for information about all retreats and the Retreat Center.

More: Just about everything you want to know about the retreats is on this website, on the Retreat and Practices pages, and their sub-pages — including many of your frequently-asked questions!

To know the current schedule: You can see the schedule below, subscribe to the site newsfeed, check our Updates page, follow @KowThamCenter at Twitter.com[?] — or just check back at this website.

Registration: There is no online or pre-registration. You must register in person at the Khao Tham Center from 8:30am-4.00pm on the first day of the retreat.

Donation: All teachings and guidance are given by our teachers at no charge. However the food and supply shops are not so generous, so we must request a donation of Bt 5,000 to cover the costs of your physical needs for the ten days of retreat.
