Dhamma Dhani

Dhamma Dhānī ('city of Dhamma') was Thailand's fourth centre in S. N. Goenka's tradition, holding its first 10-day course in March 2005. It also houses the headquarters of the Foundation for the Promotion of Vipassana Meditation, which is under the patronage of the Supreme Patriarch of Thailand. The centre occupies 0.7 acres in the K. C. Garden Home estate on Nimitmai Road in Khlong Sam Wa, a suburb of Bangkok, set apart from the main village. It has a two-storey building in the middle of the plot with a pond behind it, shaded by trees within the compound and with the estate's rice fields around it. It can accommodate 98 participants (19 men and 79 women). The centre's site lists 1-day, 3-day, 10-day, executive and children's courses; dhamma.org's schedule (as of October 2026) shows 10-day courses, 3-day courses for old students and a Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta course, all for Thai speakers only. At present the centre does not have facilities for students who do not speak Thai, and Thai speakers contact it through thai.dhamma.org. Courses are run on donations, with no charge for teaching, food or lodging.

How to apply

Apply online through the centre's page on dhamma.org (in Nepal, start from np.dhamma.org). New students must first complete a 10-day course, and there is no charge.
