Designed by Mantak Chia
All buildings and pathways in Tao Garden are made of red earth bricks specially designed by Grand Master Chia. The red bricks are made from Thailand's natural red earth, which has been pressed into red bricks using an energy-efficient pressing and drying process.
Numerous watercourses and ponds contribute to the unique climate of the Tao Garden on the 20-hectare site. Carefully selected plantings ensure the absence of mosquito infestations.
The natural spirit of Tao permeates the outer and inner forms of this unique place everywhere. In order to be healthy, one must learn to balance the harmonious and disharmonious forces within himself. The same applies to the outside world, in this case the enchanting Tao Garden.
Tao Garden - Inner Beauty, Outer Radiance
Tao Garden is a unique resort. The health spa therapies used at Tao Garden and in the Pakua Holistic Medical Centerare a product of Master Chia’s healing practices accumulated over 40 years of teaching. Tucked away among banana groves, papaya trees, and organic rice fields, Tao Garden is the perfect place to get away from the city and other modern pressure.
It is a place where guests canchoose from a wide selection of disciplines. These include Tai Chi Chi Kung (seated and moving meditation), Acupuncture, Ayurvedic, Thai Massage, Colonic (cleansing of large intestine), Chi Nei Tsang® Abdominal Massage, Tao Yin, and many others.
Guests at the Tao Garden are given individual lessons on request and are taught how to create inner beauty and thus achieve outer radiance in a completely natural way.
