Meditation Retreat @ Ariyasomvilla

Since opening in the middle of last year we have held regular meditation retreats and workshops at Ariyasomvilla. We have also held numerous ceremonies and blessings presided over by a number of senior and well respected Monks.

The consequence is that Ariyasomvilla has a benign aura which is very conducive for doing meditation.

The meditation retreat slatted for the 3rd August - 6th August promises to be a meaningful and insightful event.

July@Ariyasomvilla

Just wanted to write and let you all know what’s new at “Na Aroon” Restaurant this July.

You can see all the details on the photo – I think we’ve got something rather interesting and very ethnic – we are using three “Ma” - Ma-now ( lime), Ma-kok (Thai Olive) and Ma-dan (Garcinia). As we all know Thai food not only tastes great but is also medicinal. Ma-dan – Garcinia Schomburgkiana Pierre – is rich in calcium and vitamin A – it is very sour to the taste but as part of the soup or the Nam Prik is a magical ingredient. Apparently good for coughs ( expectorant), monthly cycle, diabetes and is a natural laxative!

The Kanom Jeen from last month stays on the menu as it has been very popular

We’ve still got Rhubarb – so the Rhubarb Crumble has gone down well – hopefully it will stay in season for the rest of the month – if not we’ll have to return to Apple Crumble

Do call in and see us and enjoy a tasty and healthy meal.

With best regards


David

PS – If you have visitors coming to Bangkok do think of us as a venue for accommodation.
