What makes From Bangkok Holy Tattoo Experience at Wat Bang Phra a unique experience ?
Wat Bang Phra is a Buddhist monastery, approximately 50 kilometers west of Bangkok. The temple is known for its daily tattoos, or Sak Yant, given by the local monks. This tradition of tattooing dates back hundreds of years.
At the heart of this tradition is the Gao Yord Yant, also known as the 9 Spires Yant, a sacred tattoo believed to safeguard the bearer and bestow good fortune. It bears similar spiritual significance to the Hah Taew Yant. Typically inscribed on the nape of the neck, the Gao Yord Yant features a geometric design representing the 9 Sacred Peaks of Mount Meru. Within this intricate design, you’ll find 9 symbolic representations of Buddha, underscoring the profound importance of the number 9 in Buddhism.
This exclusive experience in Thailand offers a rare opportunity to receive a sacred tattoo and blessings from the resident monks, with only a select number of individuals accommodated each day. Throughout your journey, you’ll be accompanied by an English-speaking guide who will facilitate your hotel pick-up and ensure a smooth and culturally enriching experience.
Allow this spiritual odyssey to immerse you in the mystique and profound traditions of Sak Yant tattoos at Wat Bang Phra.
