What is the typical schedule like during a meditation retreat in Chiang Mai?

During a meditation retreat, you can expect a structured daily schedule that usually starts early in the morning with meditation sessions.

• There are typically periods of guided meditation, personal reflection, and sometimes teachings on meditation techniques or Buddhist philosophy throughout the day.

• Mealtimes are generally communal and vegetarian, aimed at nourishing participants while keeping energy levels balanced for meditation.

Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Choose by location, dietary needs, hygiene, atmosphere and the time you plan to visit rather than relying on a single "best" list. Menus, opening days and stall locations change, especially at markets and seasonal venues.
