Sister Khun Mae Ead

Raised in a spiritual, well-to-do family in Chang Mai, Mae Ead went on to qualify as a medical doctor. But after suffering a heart attack and subsequent near death experience, she transformed her life by becoming a Buddhist nun.

Astute, firm, humorous and extremely energetic, Mae Ead supervises the financial resources and the daily management of the monastery and teaches the boys life-skills, such as reading, writing, washing and cooking.
