Hi Sally, I am also a western Buddhist taught in the tradition of Ajahn Chah. For English speaking monks & dhamma talks you need to gravitate to Wat Pah Nanachat. This is the training monastery very close by Wat Nong Pah. This message is being sent from Maya Resort Hotel which is a 10 minute taxi ride from both. Not much English spoken but lots of smiles & reasonable value at around 40-45 of your American Dollars per night. Wat Pah Nanachat will also allow short stay visitors on full monastic discipline. You may know this is involves sleeping on a mat, a 3am start & one main meal a day. There is a small women's section but not sure about visitors there. These places are obviously not designed for casual tourism. To enquire about staying they expect application by snail mail. That said I arrived unannounced as a day visitor & was very warmly received by the guest monk & others. Preferably white clothing covering knees & shoulders is obligatory particularly for the evening meeting c6pm I hope that helps. Plenty more information on request.
