Suan Moke (Monastery of the late Achan Buddhadasa)
Address: Ampoe Chaiya Surat Thani 84110 Thailand Suan Mokkh is about 600 km south of Bangkok and 50 km north of Surat Thani, just off the main highway running south to Malaysia and Singapore. On the map, we are just south of the narrowest part of Southern Thailand. Suan Mokkh can easily be reached by train, bus, and plane, but please do not arrive after dark! Travel by Train There are a number of trains leaving Bangkok every evening from about 17.30 until 22.30. Sleepers can be booked in advance. The trains arrive in Chaiya, the nearby market town, in the early morning, unless they are late - which is usual. From the Chaiya station, take the light blue song taew to Suan Mokkh for 6 baht. They leave regularly between dawn and dusk. Or you can hire a truck for about 80 baht. There are also trains coming up from Had Yai and Malaysia, but the arrival times are inconvenient. You may want to get off at the Surat Thani station (actually in Pun Pin, twelve km west of Surat Thani town proper) and spend the night. Catch a bus in the morning. (See below.) Travel by Bus
From Bangkok: Over night tour buses are available from the Southern Bus Terminal in Bangkok. Ask for: Acharn Poh Retreats:
