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
Thank you so much daniel. We’re glad you had a great experience here 😊
Please can you share how it works? How much we should pay to stay there to visit? Tnx 🙏🙌🏻
How has your life improved over the last 2 months Daniel? I'm interested to learn
Kindly share how we can request to stay there
@@nickkeomahavong01 Venerable good evening actually I am a Christian from the Philippines as I watched your videos I was encouraged to do a meditation but I don't have any ideas on what to start or what to do, I do much interested to join in 3days retreat scheduled in December. But how?
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.🙏
Wonderful Jeffrey 😊
"There is no joy like freedom"- The Buddha.
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
I need this SO badly. Looks amazing to be alone with yourself like that. I may be visiting one day my soul needs it.
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 so much 😊
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
Thank you so much Amy 😊😊
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.
Thank you so much Louise 😊😊
Me too!! I’m getting to a place where I don’t want to be around anyone anymore because people are so unpredictable and pure evil! I’m looking at things with my spiritual eyes now and I tell ya, this world is ( fake world) is filled with so much hate!!
Thank you Nick for sharing its so beautiful 😊❤️
You’re welcome my friend. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thank you so much for all your videos.
ขอให้ปราศจากศัตรู ภยันตราย ทุกข์ทางใจ ทางกาย และทางใจ ขอให้สรรพสัตว์ทั้งที่มองเห็นและมองไม่เห็นในทุกมิติและทุกภพทุกชาติอำนวยพรแก่ท่าน ขอให้สรรพสัตว์ทั้งหลายสัมผัสได้ถึงความสงบและความสุขภายใน สาธุ สาธุ สาธุ
Ven. Nick, cheers for sharing with us this especial place, full or peace and inner light. I send you all my most precious thoughts of peace and love.

@@nickkeomahavong01
I didn't say, Venerable, but the peace makes me cry. I live in Los Angeles. It's stressful here. As soon as I saw the genuine, beautiful, quiet, honest way of life by all, I was drawn right in. This is how we should all be living. It's healing just watching it.
Thank you. Namaste
♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️
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.🙏🏼
Thank you so much Paul 😊😊
Thank you. Much happiness from my family to yours. ❤️
Thank you so much my friend 😊
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... ♥ 🙏
Thank you so much Rita! And happy birthday to you. Sending you my blessings and greetings to you from Thailand. 😊😊
My dreamhouse😂Greetings from the island of Mauritius Nick. Your journey is an inspiration... Thank you❤
Aww thank you so much 😊
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)🕊🕊🙏🙏💕💕
Aww thank you so much and nice to meet another Californian 😊
As always so beautiful and interesting. Thank you my friend for all your lovely videos.
Love from Sweden ❤️🤗🙏🌞
Thank you so much monika 😊😊
Nice place. Summer place of the king of Thailand.
Thank you for inspiring us. Bless you more.
Sadhu sadhu! Thank you so much 😊
Just Beautiful. Thank you
Very beautiful video Venerable Nick. Thank you!!!🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much 😊
The River, Treetop & Nermu Coffee!
Thank you for sharing💖
Peace & Blessings
Beautiful! Thank you so much 😊
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!
Oh wow! That’s so wonderful! Congratulations and please keep up the great work with the chanting and meditation 😊😊😊
What is the app
Watching your video is enuf to make me feel I am there. Such a wonderful retreat. That’s what peace is about. Heaven on earth
Thank you so much my friend 😊
What a wonderful place!💕🙏
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful place with beautiful people. Great edit and journey you took us. Thank you Nick, peace.
Thank you so much Roland 😊😊
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 TH-cam 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!🙏😄
Wow I’m glad you got a chance to visit 😊😊
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).
The modern society has dictated our lives from a very young age to chase approval from the outside and to ignore our natural instincts. It is very good you are searching for the peace now. 🙏
I love how reiterate "slow down." It's clear that it's not without purpose.
So beautiful. So special. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thank you so much Carolyn 😊😊
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video!
You’re welcome. Thank you so much 😊

Sadhu sadhu thank you so much 😊
What a wonderfull place Nick. Thanks for share this experience.
Thank you so much 😊
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. I’m glad it was helpful 😊😊
My goodness just watching this video was a meditation. I can only imagine how lovely it must be to see in person. Thank you for sharing this with us 🙏
You are so welcome 😊 thank you
I hope I can get there someday. I want to live in this kind of environment even for awhile.
Wonderful my friend! Yes feel free to visit 😊
This is a retreat for me. So sweetness amount so much sadness for me, otherwise. Thank you, my friend-
I love you. You are so pure at heart
The musical scores made the video even the invaluable.

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.
Thank you so much 😊
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 🧘♀️

😆😆😆 thank you so much mike
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🙏
Oh wonderful!!!! I’m glad you’ll have the opportunity to visit 😊😊
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 🙏
Beautiful and peaceful. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much 😊
I love the Papae philosophy- a worthy blueprint for one's life.
Thank you so much Jeffrey 😀
@@nickkeomahavong01 and thank you, again 😊
Just Wow! Truly a special place. Thank you for sharing.
🙏💜🕊️☺️
Thank you so much 😊
The stir-fried noodles with the mixed vegetables looked so good, especially because of the variety of colors that made up the medley.
Yes it’s beautiful 😀
The library spot looks like very cozy, clean n artistic. The cafe, yr Kuti n the river hall also look nice. The food looks delicious and the western monk who wear glasses also very handsome n the view has a soothing effect to the heart. Vr Nice video.
Thank you so much my friend 😊

Thank you so much my friend 😊
@@nickkeomahavong01 You are very welcome!
I am just a plain American living in the chaos of the world like most everyone. I've watched your videos for quite some time. I always learn something watching your videos. Your ideals and structure for living well within, are wonderful to bring into anyone's life, no matter what path they are on. Living comes from the inside, not the outside. You teach that well.
Thank you 😊
This is a great video! I watch and listen a few times a week while getting ready for the day. The music and sounds are very calming. And nicks voice is perfect. Thank you Nick, this is a true blessing. Much love peace and abundance to all.
Aww thank you so much John! I’m glad you enjoy it 😊😊😊
