GREENWAY / GREENLION THAILAND
💼 What the programme involves
Buddhism began in Northern India around the year 500 BCE. The Buddhist tradition gets its name from a man known by his followers as 'the Buddha', or 'the awakened one'. Our program will show you the teaching of Buddhism in Thailand by means of practicing it instead of seeing or reading about it. Guided by local monks, you will learn techniques for meditation and chanting.
The aim of this program is to give you an authentic insight into Thai Buddhism. You will learn about the history, customs and practices of this philosophy and get the chance to put them into practice yourself!

It takes 30 minutes from the resort to Wang Nam Khiao, where you will find all the amenities you could need.
Due to its rural location, the nearest ATM is in Wang Nam Khiao (30 minutes by car), so please make sure you have enough money with you before arriving for your stay. However, since all food is provided you will probably not need much money here!
There is a small local store within walking distance. All other amenities can be found in Wang Nam Khiao (30 minutes by car).
There are no activities included outside of the program but you are welcome to take advantage of the beautiful surroundings and go for a hike in the hills during your free time. Alternatively, there is a karaoke system in the resort's communal area for those craving some noise!
