If you are open to considering Burmese monasteries in Thailand, then there is Wat Tha Ma O in Lampang Province. The new abbot there, Sayadaw Gandhasāra, is a disciple of Mahasi Sayadaw who is fluent in English and teaches the samatha-vipassanā system outlined in Mahasi’s Brahmavihāra Dhamma, i.e., insight development based upon mettā jhāna.

Thank you all for your answers.
