Another option you may wish to explore is the meditation centre at Wat U Mong, in Chiang Mai. It was founded in 2005, and accepted as the 7th provincial vipassana centre by the Thai Sangha Council in 2008. Meditators are welcome to stay as long as they want, or for as few days as they want. There is no charge but donations are gratefully accepted.

I visited the centre last weekend. Facilities are good, the schedule is not too rigorous (bedtime 9pm, wakeup 4am).

Tel 0 5381 0965. I've sent you the email address via PM.

I am building up my itinerary of Wat's to visit and the photos of the Wat look wonderful. Does Wat U Mong have a website by any chance? Google results would suggest not.

I am trying to find out some more info about doing a retreat there eg if it is individual or organised ie start on a particular day. Does anyone teach or entirely up to the individual... How much advanced notice is required, how quiet (eg close to traffic) etc.

Here is some information on Wat Umong.

You'll find reference to many other Wats at this site as well.

Thanks rockyysdt

Do you happen to know how current this listing is. I have used this site previously but suspect it is not particularly up to date.

I don't think it's up to date, but is a good guide allowing you to investigate further.

With respect to Wat U Mong, I don't believe they have an English-language website. You can usually show up one day in advance and began the following day. It's pretty quiet, although you will hear the sounds of monks, visitors, etc, coming and going. You can also practice deeper in the forest, in a larger area behind the main wat compound, where the only sounds are the sounds of nature.
