[1] The monastery was founded in response to increasing international interest, particularly from the United Kingdom, in the Theravadin forest tradition of Thailand.

In the spirit of Ajahn Chah's teachings, vipassanā, or insight, and samatha, or concentration, are regarded as two sides of a coin rather than two distinct categories.

For monks, strict adherence to the Vinaya, the 2,500-year-old code of discipline is not only required but is the distinguishing characteristic of the lineage.

The monastery is in Isaan, the north-eastern region of Thailand, in the district or amphoe of Warin Chamrap, Ubon Ratchathani Province, Tambon Bung Wai.

Any buses in Ubon bound for Si Saket drive past the Wat, simply ask the driver to be let off there.
