Living the Practice Beyond 30 Days

For Those Who Wish to Stay and Deepen

Some participants feel called to remain after completing the 30-day program. Monk Life Day by Day allows you to continue living and training as a monk within the monastery, month by month, without long-term obligation. The daily rhythm of monastic life continues as during the 30-day program, with the ongoing guidance from mentor monks.

Participation donation

12,000 THB per month, available for the first 3 months of extension.

This option is ideal for those who:

• Need more time to stabilize meditation practice
• Wish to integrate monk life more deeply
• Are discerning whether long-term training is right for them

There is no pressure to continue.
The decision to stay arises naturally from inner clarity.
This period allows participants to deepen their practice and discern their readiness for longer-term monastic life.

Visa Responsibility (first 12 months)

If a participant is accepted to continue for up to the first 12 months, they are required to take full responsibility for all personal visa-related expenses.

• Visa costs typically range from THB 2,000–8,000, depending on visa type and duration
• These costs are not covered during the first year

After this period, participants who meet the required criteria may apply for the Monk Life Scholarship Program, which may assist with living costs depending on discipline, commitment, and suitability for monastic life.

All continuation and scholarship support is granted at the discretion of the monastic community.
