Retreat location

The retreat will happen at Ananda Yoga & Detox Center in Koh Phangan, Thailand. Koh Phangan is a beautiful island paradise in the Gulf of Thailand, located about 100 kilometers from the coast of Southern Thailand in Surat Thani Province. It’s only 15 kilometers away from the famous resort island of Koh Samui. Koh Phangan is actually the largest of Samui’s neighboring islands, covering an area of 168 square kilometers.

The island is home to stunning mountains and tropical forests, with over 70% of its total area dedicated to them. The lowland areas consist of mountains and coconut fields. Around 14,000 people live in Koh Phangan, with the majority having Chinese heritage. Additionally, there are many Thais from different parts of Thailand who have moved here to establish tourism-related businesses.

Most of the island’s inhabitants reside in Thong Sala, which serves as the main entry point from Samui. Coconuts are the main agricultural product of Koh Phangan, with more than a million exports to Bangkok each month. Fishing is also a significant industry on the island, along with the growing tourism sector.

Buddhism is the predominant religion on Koh Phangan, with approximately 95% of the population practicing it. It holds a significant role in the daily lives of the islanders.

In terms of distance, Koh Samui is just 15 kilometers away from Koh Phangan.
