1) The Decline of the Wat Bang Phra Sak Yant Experience
In the past, there was really only one place to get a Traditional Thai Tattoo in Bangkok and that was at Wat Bang Phra; who sadly has changed in the last few years.
With countless blogposts and articles with mis-information, the Monks at this famous Sak Yant Temple have grown wary and no longer provide Sak Yants for the Tourists anymore (not without great difficulty). This has lead to countless Sak Yant Masters (Ajarns) setting up on their own or with the help of western owned tour companies and onsite touts that hiked up the cost of a Sak Yant. While there is nothing wrong with Authentic Ajarns being able to compete with Tattoo Artists and their replica artistic ‘Bamboo Tattoos‘ – allowing touts to negotiate pricing has diminished the spiritual aspects of the experience for many.
2) Rising cost of the Authentic Sak Yant Experience
The Sak Yant Tattoo has become more popular, and the more famous Sak Yant Masters have become more expensive to visit. Often it is not until you arrive to the location that people will realize that they exposed to double tourist pricing or opt to go with the less expensive trainee Ajarn.
At Sak Yant Bangkok we offer open and transparent Sak Yant costs so there are no surprises when you visit us
3) Sak Yant Bangkok Co-op of Sak Yant Masters with a Focus on understanding the overall Experience
At Sak Yant Bangkok we strive to create the ultimate Sak Yant Experience. We stand out among Sak Yant Providers in important ways when the Spirituality of the experience is important. At Sak Yant Bangkok we ….
1) Automatic Online Booking
From our website you can plan the day and time and pre-book your Sak Yant Experience. This eliminates the common experience of looking up a Sak Yant Master on Google Maps, calling and not being able to communicate and turning up only to find a line of people and having to wait hours in the heat of Thailand.
2) Translation (English/German)
Our Staff speak Thai, English and German. We are able to express your requirements to the Sak Yant Masters and explain to you the whole process before, during and after it happens.
3) Safe Convenient Location
We are located just 1km from Asok BTS – one of the main Stations in Bangkok. Not only allowing you to explore some of Bangkok’s best shopping experiences with the rest of your day. This also means you do not have to risk venturing into unfamiliar slum areas of Bangkok or take long and expensive Taxi rides into remote areas to the Ajarns house.
4) Authentic Sak Yant Experience
With the rise in popularity of the Traditional Thai Tattoo, many Tattoo Artists will make replica’s sometimes explaining they are artistic copies and meaningless (and sometimes not). We offer the real thing and we do it for much less and the gibberish nonsense Tattoo shops copy from stencils.
5) Complete Understanding
Much of the mis-information from travel bloggers about the Sak Yant, comes from them having an experience they didn’t understand and they filled in the gaps with incorrect information. When you get a Sak Yant from us, you will know what your design means, alter the meaning if desired, understand the rituals and processes, aftercare instructions and many more. We focus on ensuring you have an experience and not just a tattoo
6) Transparent Pricing
Double pricing for Tourists is a common practice in Thailand – even among Sak Yant Masters. We provide the total costs of your experience based on the design chosen and time it takes. You will know exactly the price before you come to us, giving you peace of mind and an assurance you are not about to be charged too much. Indeed we KNOW that we provide one of the cheapest Sak Yant services in Bangkok – at least 50-70% less than regular tattoo shops or Wat Bang Phra
At Sak Yant Bangkok, we are providing a guided Sak Yant Experience where you as the customer get to choose your design, learn what it means, customize it, book a time (so no waiting). AND most importantly we are selecting Sak Yant Masters who do beautiful work and reasonable prices. This means when you get a Sak Yant Tattoo in Bangkok with us, your get the ultimate experience.
