Description

*Please make sure you have read what is included and excluded in the price.* Guests of all genders are welcome to join this experience. Delve into the rich spiritual heritage of Thailand at Wat Bang Phra, a revered temple renowned for its Sak Yant tattoos. Your journey begins with a convenient pickup from your Bangkok hotel, accompanied by an English-speaking guide who will ensure a smooth and insightful experience. Upon arrival at the temple, you'll have the opportunity to choose your own tattoo design from a variety of sacred symbols that align with your personal intentions. Please note that the tattoo fee starts from 6,000+ Baht and is not included in the price of the experience. The fee varies depending on the design and size and will be paid directly to the temple. Once your design is chosen, a skilled monk or tattoo master will apply a tattoo using the traditional hand-poke method. This ancient technique connects you to Thailand’s deep spiritual roots, making the experience both physically and spiritually powerful. After your tattoo session, your journey continues to another significant building in the temple complex, where you will receive the Golden Face Blessing. This sacred ritual involves applying gold leaf to your face and praying for protection, success, and prosperity, further enhancing the spiritual significance of your visit. After completing both the tattoo and the blessing, you will be comfortably transported back to your hotel in Bangkok, leaving you with a lasting impression of Thailand’s spiritual traditions. This unique experience offers a blend of personal choice, ancient rituals, and deep spiritual connection.
