Located in the mountains approximately one hundred and twenty kilometres from the city of Bangkok, the Monastery of Thamkrabok has been offering detoxification and rehabilitation to those addicted to harmful substances since 1959. Over this period the Abbot and his monks have saved thousands of their countrymen from the long-term effects of drug addiction. The treatment is provided to Thai addicts for minimal payment or reward as part of the goodwill of the Monastery in supporting it’s people. The occasional European, familiar with local custom was also offered the treatment and it was found that the same levels of success were achieved with non-Asian addicts. The Abbot and Monks operating the program have proven that no addict is beyond redemption. Every addict leaving Thamkrabok after completing this radical course has been detoxified with none of the normal side effects. They stress that this course is a chance at a drug free future but the long-term result lies in the will of the addict. They are provided with the opportunity of a second start at life. Nobody is claiming to have a miracle cure for the problem of drug and alcohol addiction. If the addict has no desire to beat his or her addiction they are not welcome at Thamkrabok. Addicts travelling to Thamkrabok are required to comply with the rules of the Monastery. Should they fail to do so they are liable to be transported directly to the airport under escort and returned to their point of departure. It has been said that the “Thamkrabok Monastery in Thailand runs the toughest drug rehabilitation regime in the world”. The Thamkrabok program is based on taking SAJJA (a sacred vow) not to use intoxicating substances. Sajja is a sacred act that, if you believe in it, will connect you with your will power and with something "beyond". Sajja is there for everybody; it is not limited to any specific religion or belief system. The Sajja is supported by Thamkrabok’s unique herbal medicine that generates a very real and very rapid detoxification.
