Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Valentin. It is wonderful to hear that you and your wife felt welcomed by Ajarn Oh, and that the full process of making offerings, receiving such careful attention to hygiene, and the precision of the tattoo left such a strong impression. We are grateful to Khun Nuch for guiding you through each step, and glad the day felt both smooth and memorable. We would be honored to welcome you both again whenever your path brings you back to Phuket, or beyond.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Linda. We're truly honoured to have been part of this special moment with you and your daughter. It means a lot to hear that you felt your guide and the Ajarn created a respectful space for the experience. We always strive to ensure each guest feels supported and informed, and we’re so glad that came through for you both. Please pass along our warmest wishes to your daughter as she carries this sacred ink into her next chapter. May it offer her strength, guidance, and all the protection she needs on the path ahead. We’re grateful you chose to walk this journey with us — thank you again for entrusting us with such a meaningful day. 🙏

Thank you for your feedback, Giovanni. We’re sorry the experience didn’t feel as meaningful to you as expected. As we shared in earlier communications, we aim to support each guest’s personal journey by offering detailed preparation — including our extensive Instagram discussions we shared, and detailed emails about how to reflect on intentions, engage with the Ajarn, and use your guide to ask the ajarn questions - especially if the ajarn doesn't ask you questions. That said, we understand that connection is subjective and may not resonate equally for everyone. We also want to clarify that we never market Sak Yant as a “spiritual service” — we believe spirituality arises from within, not something that can be sold or pre-packaged. We can only open the door, but it's up to our guests and their mindset to find that spiritual connection. As for pricing, it reflects the full scope of the experience: including a private, licensed guide trained in Sak Yant traditions, and the Ajarn’s independently set rate for their tattoos. Like any tattoo artist, pricing varies by style, reputation, and experience, and we honour those rates out of respect. While there are Ajarns with lower prices, this can sometimes compromise on quality or hygiene — areas we won’t cut corners on for our guests’ safety and satisfaction. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts — we truly appreciate your perspective and hope your sak yant brings you the luck and enchantment you had hoped for. 🙏

Thank you so much for your kind review, Fiona. We’re so glad to hear that your time with Ajarn Ya and your guide Tobb was a memorable one. Tobb has been part of our team since 2018, and we’ve been honoured to work alongside him for so many years. His deep knowledge and calm presence continue to make a difference for guests, and we’re glad you felt supported throughout the experience. It was truly an honour to share this ancestral practice with you, and to help guide you through the process of receiving your Sak Yant. We hope it brings you the strength, protection, and enchantment you wished for as it continues to support your path ahead. Thank you again for allowing us to be part of your journey.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Glenn. We’re really glad we could help make your Borneo Iban Homestay experience come together smoothly, even on such short notice. We always aim to be as transparent and flexible as possible, and we appreciate your easy communication in helping us make it all work. It’s not every day that we get to support a journey into such a remote and culturally rich part of the world, and we’re honoured you chose to explore it with us. We hope the experience gave you deeper insights into Iban traditions and life along the river, and left you with lasting memories. Terima kasih again, and safe travels - until we see you again.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Rory. It was truly an honour to share not just one but three meaningful experiences with you and your son during your time in Chiang Mai. From receiving your Sak Yant, to discovering the richness of everyday life through our local experience, and stepping into the rhythm of a monk’s life for a day, we’re thrilled each experience left a lasting impression. We’re also grateful for your kind words about our guides. They care deeply about offering genuine and informed connections with their culture and are always happy to hear that their efforts made an impact. We hope your travels continue to be full of discovery and inspiration. Kop Khun Krub again and safe travels until we see you again... Somewhere in the world! 😉 Ask ChatGPT
