Hello all. I spent a few days at the Papae Meditation Retreat in July, and I can truly say that it was an amazing life and spiritual experience. If you take the time to go there, you will not regret it I can promise you that. Enjoy! Daniel

Even the dog is at peace! He’s laying on the wooden floor calm,quiet and relaxed! 😂

Yes, the world is definitely noisy, but my residence is quiet. It is my retreat center, and the longer that I live as a bachelor and grow spiritually, the greater my appreciation for my life as it is.🙏

you are so inspring. Thank you for showing us your life in Thailand. 😍

This has got to be one of my favourite videos you’ve made. The background music, birds singing, stunning views and your calming words and voice was enough for my shoulders to drop and be present in moments. Thank you for giving us such an informative view of your daily life 🙏🏼

Thank you for recommending your retreat center. I was just there after being so curious about meditation. I've been following you since the pandemic started and I have learned so much from your videos. I didn't expect that doing the retreat will completely change me. I have been suffering from depression and was quite tired of it. Never have I been most joyful, at peace, and no longer struggling. You are all doing amazing work. Thank you

This was amazing, genuine & beautiful. It felt like a restful vacation. Thank you for sharing. Being still IS key.

Everything about this video is soothing, relaxing. I can just feel the coolness, freshness of the water by the rocks! As i get older simplicity is what I have gravitated towards and it is so satisfying I can’t imagine living any other way. Thank you Nick for sharing.

even just from watching this video I could feel the amazing calmness and stillness of Papae. what a beautiful place- and as many people in the comments have also remarked- what an incredibly calming soundscape

This is truly a treat. Thank you Nick for sharing such a beautiful place and life style. Also so happy to see Michael.

I need this SO badly. Looks amazing to be alone with yourself like that. I may be visiting one day my soul needs it.

Thank you so much for all your videos. ขอให้ปราศจากศัตรู ภยันตราย ทุกข์ทางใจ ทางกาย และทางใจ ขอให้สรรพสัตว์ทั้งที่มองเห็นและมองไม่เห็นในทุกมิติและทุกภพทุกชาติอำนวยพรแก่ท่าน ขอให้สรรพสัตว์ทั้งหลายสัมผัสได้ถึงความสงบและความสุขภายใน สาธุ สาธุ สาธุ

Thank you for sharing, venerable Nick, how kind of you to let us in in this intimate and spiritual space. It was such a beautiful birthday gift ♥ It touched me deeply I was crying (I still am), I always dreamed of being in a place like this. The fact that I found you in itself had such a positive impact on my life I am always grateful for, and now that you took the effort and shared your loving kindness with us through this video is like a dream came true in a way I never expected... I am just an ordinary city girl, but my feelings are drawn very much to this kind of spiritual life and it made me feel like I was important. It was absolutely amazing 🥺🥺🥺 I am really touched. Thank you... ♥ 🙏

Nick I started chanting for last 25 days! Been life altering (I use the one from your app each morning then meditate for 15 min). I definitely have this place in my sights - as I’ve finally gotten the courage to leave my company in 2023!

Woke up this morning made a coffee and then watched your video Nick and it was like i was in a meditative state all the way through. Beautiful video and now inspired to drive up and join this peaceful community retreat. 🙏🏼 Thank You.🙏🏼

Oh my, my, my ... I feel as if I've just died and gone to heaven! What a retreat! Even though I'll never be able to visit in person, you've provided this old lady with the most delightful alternative, so thank you my young friend. Greetings from The Netherlands (btw, I'm also a native Californian)🕊🕊🙏🙏💕💕

Nice place. Summer place of the king of Thailand. Thank you for inspiring us. Bless you more.

BEAUTIFUL video. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!!!!!!!

Thank you Nick for sharing its so beautiful 😊❤️

Glad to see you back at Pa Pae Lp Nick🙏🏻 A lot of familiar faces and memories. Hopefully I’ll see you all soon🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you for this video. All I want is peace in my life, I don’t truly know what that means. Buddhism is the only thing that has brought me any form of the peace I’ve been chasing over this last year. I turn 25 on June 1 and i’m not where I want to be in life and I don’t feel proud or confident of myself because of superficial achievements, or lack there of rather. I am going to plan a retreat for this time so that I will be focused on what matters and not on material items or expectations that are put on 25 year olds in my country such as being a home owner, making 6 figures, taking a luxury birthday trip, or having a lavish party. I know this retreat will challenge me and my food addiction, work addiction, as well as my addiction to my phone and technology devices. I am going to tell my dad about this retreat as well to see if it’s something he would like to do. Thank you so much for sharing this information. I look forward to being able to visit and meditate with true monks (or nuns since I’m a woman).

Thank you Venerable Nick for inspiring me to visit and participate in the 3 day retreat with my family (of 4) from the UK. Even though it rained a lot and we were bitten by mosquitoes and other insects it was a great experience in amazing nature and brought us to Thailand for the first time….but won’t be the last time!…..a beautiful country with beautiful souls/people 🥰 I’m sorry I couldn’t meet you (even though I understand you are back in Thailand) as I have followed you for some time on KZfaq and will continue to do so, as I enjoy and am very grateful for how you explain spirituality in the context of ‘normal’ life which we all have to live (unless we can live a Monks life). Thank you again for all the great contribution you make to people like me who are trying to live a spiritual life in a complex world…..Satour!🙏😄

Thank you Nick for sharing and taking your precious time to show to the world your home 🏡. I wish I can go next year for a retreat . Blessings 🧡

Thank you for sharing the beauty of this place

Recently returned from a 7 day silent meditation retreat in the Theravada tradition. Great for seeping one’s practice

You are such a kind soul, this video was here for me when i was stressing out and having one of the worst nights of my month. Thank you so much for the calm piece of art you created.

Thank you for sharing with us. So peaceful and calming.

Serene. Peaceful. Lovely. Thank you. ❤

Dear Nick, thank you for taking the time to share this beautiful video. Your content is helping me in ways I cannot put in to words during a time I am experiencing a lot suffering. Thank you for sharing. Love from Arizona

Thank you for sharing this beautiful and peaceful place. Just watching the video gave me a calm peace of mind ❤

To actually select one aspect of the video would do it an extreme injustice. Therefore, I will not make a selection but an observation that I think will encapsulate everything: The openness of it all was simply beautiful and something that we should all strive for, i.e., an open life-free of clutter. As always, very inspiring 🙏

Truth and Beauty manifest in a amazing location with noble people and purpose

very beautiful....peace and harmony to all

You make awesome videos. Very peaceful and rejuvenating.

Thank you for sharing - such a restful place; hope to visit one day 🙏.

I hope I can get there someday. I want to live in this kind of environment even for awhile.

Peaceful and beautiful!

I'll be coming there, I promise myself ❤️

The outside world is definitely noisy and chaotic, and that is why it's so imperative to be at peace within, because if you are looking for it without, you will never ever find. You will go for one disappointment to another.

Such a lovely good people! Nice to see

its a heaven on earth.. so beautiful , my dream is to visit this megical place..

Beautiful, calming. Thank you.

Along the main water source 🙏beautiful spot

Just Wow! Truly a special place. Thank you for sharing. 🙏💜🕊️☺️

I can’t wait to come visit you soon. 💛It’s been on my list for quite some time now and in January I will finally make this dream happen. It’s been truly beautiful to get a little insight of what’s awaiting me there. Khop khun ka🙏

Wandana wandana wandana sadhu sadhu sadhu.

Absolutely beautiful. The big takeaway for me with this video was a reminder to cultivate this type of environment in my own home and in the workplace. Thank you, Nick. Big love...xo

What a beautiful and inspiring place. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I lived in CM for 2 years and never heard of this place. I retreated for 2 weeks at the Doi Suthep Center.

As always so beautiful and interesting. Thank you my friend for all your lovely videos. Love from Sweden ❤️🤗🙏🌞

The musical scores made the video even the invaluable.

Namasakharn kha, Lp. Nick. Thank you for sharing this sanctuary. I hope that I can go there in the near future.

Oh my gosh, Venerable Nick! I am so jealous, you are living in such a beautiful place with such a beautiful purpose!

I did a retreat here this past September and had an absolutely amazing experience. Thanks for sharing 🙏

I love how reiterate "slow down." It's clear that it's not without purpose.

Thank you Venerable Nick! And all who contributed to this video. I love the section about the couple who make that incredible home grown coffee and the family who makes the food . The little animals look so calm and happy. What a wonderful place.

Wow thank you for the tour...loved all of it 💜 The forest is my favourite place to be. Perhaps one day I will travel there. I'd love to meditate in the tree house 🧘‍♀️

Very mesmerizing...thank you for sharing ❤

The stir-fried noodles with the mixed vegetables looked so good, especially because of the variety of colors that made up the medley.

This is what I need to be doing. Instead of drinking! Say a prayer for me guys. Thanks!

Thank you! Looks truly beautiful ❣️

I’m going to Thailand November 2023 - This is on my list to visit hopefully to stay a couple nights to experience way of living 🙏😊
