Pai International Meditation Center

PAI International Meditation Center is the location I chose to reset, release, and recharge my energies." I'm pausing my life to unwind, recovering physical and mental vitality, and eliminating mental clutter so that I may return to daily life with a new perspective. To prevent burnout, detach from stress and reprioritize work. Clearing my mind and shifting my concentration to give myself a new lease on life. It is a mental reset, turning off all gadgets to solve problems, allowing for a shift of perspective, a new, healthier, and more productive approach, and an effective return to responsibilities. After finishing the seven-day retreat on December 17, 2025, I felt incredibly at ease, serene, and pure. The teaching monks' meditation methods are incredibly profoundly simple. Delicious, healthful meals, fruits, and refreshments are served during the seven-day retreat program, which is well organized and run. The accommodations at Tree House are cozy and have all the necessities. The team demonstrates compassion by offering assistance and acknowledging all participants' emotional needs. Keep up the excellent work! Thank you for everything. I highly recommend this place for those seeking to rejuvenate your mind and body with meditation retreats in a serene, natural and peaceful environment.

I started the year 2026 here at Pai Meditation center and what a GREAT decision this turned out to be. Firstly I was escaping the English winter, I also lead a busy life in London and this experience was exactly what I needed to slow down and reset. Secondly the wisdom of the teaching Monks and the practices they share were exceptional….it was a rigorous yet transformative retreat that leads you through the practice the monks take on a daily basis. In addition to this the center staff, the grounds, the accommodation and the food were next level and I would highly recommend a 7 day retreat here. No matter where you are on your meditation journey this unique opportunity will guide and support you and leave you feeling deep calm, inner peace and a profound connection to yourself.

I highly recommend the Pai Meditation Center for anyone seeking a transformative experience, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned meditator. From the moment I arrived, I felt like family, thanks to the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. I also met so many wonderful people from around the world, some of whom became good friends. The program is well-organized, balancing meditation, philosophical teachings, and personal time. Mornings included meditation and slow-flow yoga, and we ended the days at the hot springs reserved just for our group—perfectly relaxing! The engaging conversations with the monks were enlightening and even fun! The food was mostly organic and absolutely delicious. The modern, comfortable treehouses added to the overall experience. After a week at the PIMC, I left feeling refreshed and inspired, and I can't wait to return one day. If you're looking for a peaceful escape with great learning opportunities, I can't recommend this place enough! P.S. There are also drop-in meditations, which I highly recommend if you’re passing through town! It’s one hour spent in a beautiful place that helps to ground, relax and inspire you.

Finally, the programme itself deserves special mention. It was well paced, and the meditation instructions were clear, simple, and easy to follow, making the practice both accessible and grounding. I would wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking rest, clarity, and time for inner peace.
