Wat Pa Ban Tat (alternative spelling: Wat Pa Baan Taad; Thai ) is theravada buddhist monastery (Wat) in Udon Thani Province of Thailand. Wat Pa Ban Tat was set up by a famous Thai meditation bhikkhu called Venerable Ajahn Maha Bua.In 1950 Ajahn Maha Boowa looked for a quiet, secluded place, and so he went to stay at Huey Sai village, in what is now Mukdahan Province. During his stay here he was very strict and serious in teaching the monks and novices, both in the subject of the austere dhutanga practices as well as in meditation. He pursued this method of teaching until these same principles of practice became increasingly established within his followers.
