Wat Buddhanusorn — Local services in Fremont

A monk at the temple said to us to "treat the Temple like a public library, we are here for the community".

In the Thai traditions, Temples are a place for the community and a peaceful sanctuary, not simply just a place of worship. You do not need to be religious, Buddhist, or Thai to enjoy the serenity and beauty of this place. The Temple grounds are very well kept, verdant, and peaceful.

The Fremont Thai Temple is a peaceful place to enjoy an authentic Thai brunch, while supporting a great cause. There are many food stalls to choose from as well as picnic tables in the surrounding gardens. First, trade in your dollars for tokens to buy food at the stalls.

My favorites are:

Shrimp Pad Thai: Best pad thai ever! Fresh and made to order so put your name on the list as soon as you arrive Thai Noodle Soup: Fresh, spicy and comforting Sticky Rice Dumpling Stuffed with Spinach: Very tasty Mango Sticky Rice: Very authentic Black Sticky Rice with Egg Custard: Sweet and delicious

If you are looking for mediation and spirituality in the presence of monks, look no further than Watbuddhanusorn. I highly recommend trying a Saturday Meditation Session here. It’s a truly enriching experience. The session, held from 5:00-6:30 PM, provides a peaceful and welcoming environment for both beginners and experienced meditators. The atmosphere is serene, and the guidance from the monks is insightful and supportive.
