Embark on a deeply spiritual journey with the Hand-Poke Sak Yant Tattoo Experience at Wat Bang Phra, where ancient tradition meets personal transformation. This unique tour begins with an optional return transfer from your Bangkok hotel to the revered Wat Bang Phra, the spiritual home of Thailand’s famous Sak Yant tattoos.
Once you choose the design that you like, a highly skilled monk or master will perform the sacred hand-poke tattoo—a meditative, precise technique that has been practised for centuries. The hand-poke method is a significant part of this spiritual process, allowing for a deeper connection between the tattoo and the person receiving it. Each poke of the needle brings with it the sacred energy and blessings of the monk or master, transforming the tattoo into a spiritual talisman.
The experience includes a visit to another monk in a separate building at the temple for the Na Naa Thong (Golden Face blessing). This ritual involves the monk applying sacred gold leaf to your face, symbolising the attraction of wealth, prosperity, and success into your life. The Na Naa Thong is a revered tradition that complements the protective power of your Sak Yant, amplifying the positive energy surrounding you.
For added relaxation, you'll have the option to visit a nearby café (if time permits) to unwind and reflect on your spiritual experience. This full-day immersion offers a rare glimpse into Thailand’s spiritual heritage, blending physical transformation with sacred blessings.
Please note that the tattoo fee starts from 6,000+ Baht and is not included in the price of the experience. The fee varies depending on the design and size and will be paid directly to the temple.
Whether you are on a personal spiritual quest or simply curious about the art of Sak Yant, this tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to engage with Thailand’s deep-rooted spiritual traditions.
