Retreat location

The retreat is happening at the 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 about 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.

This island is mostly covered in mountains and tropical forests, with the lowlands being home to mountains and coconut fields. Around 70% of the island’s total area is made up of these natural wonders. There are approximately 14,000 people living in Koh Phangan, with a majority of Chinese descent. Many Thais from different parts of Thailand have also moved here to start tourism-related businesses.

Most of the inhabitants live in Thong Sala, which serves as the main entrance to the island from Samui. The main products of Koh Phangan are coconuts, with the island producing over a million coconut exports to Bangkok every month. Fishing is another major industry, along with the booming tourism business.

The island has a population that is predominantly Buddhist, with around 95% of the population practicing this religion. Buddhism holds a very significant role in the daily lives of the people here.

As for distances, Koh Samui is just a short 15 kilometers away, making it easily accessible for a day trip or a quick visit.
