A Hidden Gem on Grand Island: Niagara’s Thai Buddhist Temple

A Hidden Gem on Grand Island

Just minutes from Niagara Falls, a former horse farm has found new life as a place of peace.

Thai Buddhist monks have transformed it into Wat Prodketchettharam of America, a meditation retreat surrounded by woods and quiet paths on Bedell Road. It’s a legitimate Thai Theravāda Buddhist temple, part of a centuries-old mainstream branch of Buddhism that originated in Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar.

The same fields that once echoed with hoofbeats now hum with gentle chanting and the rustle of trees. It’s a space for stillness, reflection, and calm — where the spirit of Thai Buddhism meets the beauty of Western New York.

If you’re curious about meditation, mindfulness, or simply want to experience something truly unique and welcoming, we can take you there.

Our tours can include a peaceful stop at the temple, where visitors are encouraged to explore, meditate, and meet the kind monks who’ve made Grand Island their spiritual home.

🙏✨ Come breathe, reflect, and discover a side of Niagara few people ever see.
