About this selection

Chiang Mai's Buddhist monastery culture and cooler mountain air create ideal conditions for deep meditation practice — an entirely different Thailand from the island south. Vipassana meditation in Chiang Mai — often conducted in silence for 7–10 days — takes on additional depth in this setting. The retreat context removes the obstacles that urban life creates for sustained insight practice. November is one of Chiang Mai's best months for retreat — Northern Thailand's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in November tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
