Khao Tham Insight Meditation Center – Khao Tham Center is on the island of Koh Phangan, Thailand. We practice Samatha and Vipassana meditation in monthly retreats.

Welcome to Khao Tham Insight Meditation Center

The world continues and it is beautiful.
It has only put us in cages as we have done to its wildlife.
The air, water, earth, and sky without us are fine.
When we return, be reminded that we are just guests
We must consider our impact like no other generation ever has.
We must change.

Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa, 5 april 2020
