Bangkok food tour

SAK YANT BANGKOK - This private deeply spiritual experience is so much more than visiting a tattoo parlour.

Alongside one of experienced Bangkok hosts, you'll have a private ceremony and sak yant tattoo performed by one of our master ajarns.

The private experience begins with a pick up from your hotel and a local meal over which your Bangkok host will discuss the history and culture of sak yant.

The experience continues when you meet your ajarn master and along with your host (who will translate the whole experience) discuss your sak yant, positioning and it's meaning. While you are, of course, allowed to choose, the ajarn will suggest the best sak yant for you.

Along with being inked with your new sak yant, the ajarn will perform a ceremony and bless it providing the protection and good fortune.

This private sak yant tour in Bangkok includes a pick up / drop off. New ink, ink pots and needles are used for every guest. The experience includes up to a medium sized sak yant around the size of your palm and is performed with a steel rod, not a tattoo gun. For larger sak yants, please contact us first. The sak yant can be performed with clear ink if you prefer the spiritual experience without the design if you wish.

Why this tour is awesome

While the sak yant tattoos in Bangkok have a beautiful aesthetic, they are so much more than a normal parlour tattoo. Sak yant's have meaning and power. They are though to offer protection, wealth, luck, fortune and health. This is a deeply spiritual performed by one of our master ajarns offering a truly once-in-a-lifetime cultural look into this ancient art form.
