Most people I know travels to Bangkok for the delicious food, the wide variety and cheap shopping, the interesting sights and also the relaxing massages that are easily available. But many do not know that the city also offers a lot of great places for one to learn about meditation - finding inner peace, happiness and self-reflection. One doesn’t need to be a Buddhist to learn meditation in Bangkok, just initiative. And it does not costs much - sometimes free but I do recommend contributing donations.
I was born a Buddhist but have never practiced meditation until I moved to Bangkok 10 years ago. A friend of mine introduced to me, Young Buddhists Association of Thailand under the Royal Patronage (YBAT) where I started learning meditation and am forever grateful to my friend and YBAT ever since.
Because of the great benefits I received from practicing meditation, I would love to share my experiences with the rest of the world and Google Maps allows me to do just that. There are so many meditation classes such as those conducted in temples, resorts, special centres and Buddhist associations in Bangkok and around Thailand that visitors can learn and practice. Meditation classes can be in hourly, daily and some are in days.
With Google Maps, I will be able to share the locations of the various centres, users will benefit from finding the right centres for their inner peace and happiness whilst, organizers will be able to fulfill their mission to society.
