We will open the “guest house (temple lodging) Wat Jeepung” in Chiang Rai, Thailand!!

It has been ten years since we established a Japanese Buddhist temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand. The plan was to have the facility open to the public. Traveling to the northernmost tip of Thailand is a challenge, but so has the hustle and bustle of the capital, Bangkok, and the second-largest city, Chiang Mai.
Chiang Rai has a JET capable airport, but no trains yet. It is a quiet ancient city at the end of National Highway 1, about 1000 kilometers from Bangkok, at the foot of a plateau. In addition, the Mekong River is a famous tourist destination, a large river on the border of Myanmar and Laos, known as the Golden Triangle.

There is a connection there, and it will be exactly ten years in January 2023 since the opening of the Japanese temple (Wat Japan). Rustic nature and mountain lovers will love it. The landlord, Lenna (this is from my Japanese name given by me, SUCHITOO, and her real name is a little long, so the locals call it Tim), was originally (and still is) a student at a Japanese school. She has been operating a cafeteria in the village for over 30 years, and it is a delicious and hearty Thai restaurant with a good reputation.

“Guest house” is 500 baht (about 2000 yen) per person per night, and the rates cover all meals at the guest house. The more people you have, the cheaper it will be. In principle, up to 3 people can stay in one group per day. It is a one-building charter method.
It operates by the landlord, Mongkol Lenna the restaurant owner.
The opening is on February 1, 2023.
