Dhamma Suvaṇṇa, means ‘Gold of Dhamma’

The center is the 3rd Vipassana meditation center of the country. The first portion of the land was donated by old students. With a later purchase, the site has now 28 acres of shady and quiet forestland with different kinds of local trees. Two large ponds in the front serve well as water reservoirs for the whole year.

Dhamma Suvaṇṇa is located 30 km away from Khon Kaen downtown. It is near a small village of Don Mong, Nong Rue district, Khon Kaen. Khon Kaen is one of the important cities in Northeastern Thailand which is easily accessible by car, bus or by plane. The city is approximately 500 km northeast of Bangkok and 300 km from Vientian, Laos.
