Sai Than Thamm Dhamma Practice Hall (Wat / Samnak Patibat Thamm Sai Than Thamm)

Sai Than Thamm (the name means "Stream of Dhamma") is a small Thai Buddhist meditation practice hall and monastic residence set in the countryside of Lat Krathing sub-district, in Sanam Chai Khet district of Chachoengsao province. Rather than a grand historic temple, it is a working retreat place where laypeople come to listen to teachings, make merit and practise meditation in a calm rural setting. The site is registered as a phak thipak song, a simple monastic residence that has grown into a recognised place of dhamma practice, with around five monks in residence during the annual Rains Retreat and a caretaker-abbot guiding the community. Its appeal lies in that unhurried, village-temple atmosphere and the chance to share in everyday monastic life far from the busier tourist temples.
