Upper Sanctuary
Where Silence Lives in the Heart of the Forest

Tucked away in the lush tropical forest of Koh Phaluai, the Upper Sanctuary offers a haven of quiet living and deep reflection. The small kutis here are simple and humble, built for solitude and rest, surrounded by tall trees, gentle breezes, and the soothing sounds of the jungle.

​

The Dhamma Hall and Yindee Meditation Terrace open toward the ocean, revealing a serene view of the sea beyond the treetops, while the rest of the area remains wrapped in tranquil greenery. This natural setting invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the peaceful rhythm of life.

Here, simplicity becomes the practice — a place where silence and mindfulness meet amidst the living forest of Koh Phaluai.
