A Canadian Journalist's Witty Account of Life in a Thai Forest Monastery

Canadian journalist Tim Ward chronicles his time living as a lay student at Wat Pah Nanachat, an international forest monastery in northeast Thailand. Ward details the demanding daily routine of Theravada monks, balancing 4:00 AM chanting, barefoot alms rounds, and long silent meditation sessions with the practical realities of jungle living.

Written with candid humor and intellectual curiosity, his journal records conversations with Western monks, the psychological struggles of silent practice, and the eccentricities of monastery life, offering a grounded look at Eastern spiritual discipline.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Tim Ward combines sharp journalistic observation with self-deprecating wit in this behind-the-scenes look at Thai monastery life. A refreshing read for students of Buddhism, meditation seekers, and travelogue readers.
