Sundown Ritual
In alignment with the philosophy of our Wellbeing Sanctuary which places emphasis on the interconnectedness of self, others and nature; our Sundown Ritual taps into this connection by sending forth a salient signal of tranquility to signify the change in environment as the radiant hues of the tropical sunset give way to the starry night sky.
As the clock strikes six o’clock, the sun slowly fades behind the mountains of Lamai and darkness gradually takes over; we invite you to join us at the Lobby to observe our daily Sundown Ritual where you can pause for a moment to reflect and to listen intently for the serene sound of the gong to radiate throughout the air.
Following the procession, you are welcome to capture a photo with our associates to serve as a lasting memory of our Sanctuary for the Senses.
Traditional Thai Dance
Delight in an evening at Saffron for authentic Thai cuisine and performances of 'Menora', a traditional dance of southern Thailand.
Alms-Giving Ceremony
‘Tak Bat’, or giving alms to monks, is a venerable tradition in Thailand. During the alms giving, food is offered in the morning hours and it is an opportunity for a lay Buddhist to make merit, remove greed and selfishness from their life, and show respect to the monks.
