Yoga in Thailand - Description
Start the day with a morning yoga class in our yoga room with stunning views of the beach. A sunset gentle stretching right on the beach will round off your day.
In between relax, hang out on the beach or snorkel and dive some of Asia's best coral reefs. Rent a kayak and circle the island from the sea. Hike in the interior and experience the flora and fauna it has to offer. Take a trip to the mainland and wander round the Thai markets in the town of Trang.
Hire a small boat to explore the surrounding islands and find your own private beaches. A trip to the world famous Emerald cave is not to be missed. Visit the little known
Koh Kradan and Koh Rok, beautiful islands populated with fishermen and their families and snorkel the pristine reefs of Koh Ma and Koh Cheuk.
There's also the world famous food, the relaxing massages and Thailand's finest fire performers, you will never want to leave.
Yoga in Thailand - The Accommodation
As a guest of Yogatraveller you will be staying in Thanya Resort. Located on a private stretch of beach, it is just a short walk to the other resorts, restaurants and bars. The sunsets and sunrises are explosive and at night the stars are perfectly clear with no light pollution. It's the perfect place to kick back, relax and unwind.
The accommodation is in simple and clean Thai-style beach huts and all rooms come with A/C and hot and cold water. Each bungalow has a veranda where you can sit back with a book. The rooms are clean and simple and as they are made with wood, fit in perfectly well with their environment in nature.
The resort has an excellent restaurant serving a selection of Thai and Western cuisine. It is the perfect place to relax with a drink after sunset yoga. There is plenty of room to relax and hang out and the resort has a lovely atmosphere and kind and friendly staff who will help to make your stay very special. The picture opposite is the beach in front of the resort.
There is snorkelling in the waters off shore and during your stay, Regina, your host and teacher, will help to organise snorkelling trips, and will give you information regarding scuba diving, the local spa and other excursions.
Yoga in Thailand - The Schedule
The week starts with evening yoga class on the Saturday you arrive. It concludes with the morning yoga class the following Saturday. Start the day with early morning meditation, a dynamic yoga class and then follow this with a healthy breakfast. Then spend the day hanging out on the beach, by the pool or get involved with some of the activities.
We offer diving courses or if you are already certified, day trips to the local divesites. We also offer snorkelling trips, Thailand cookery courses and hiking. Either that or lounge with a book in your hammock, a gentle breeze blowing off the sea. Round the day off with a sunset yoga class on the beach and catch the tropical sunset with a healthy juice or even a coconut cocktail.
Yoga in Thailand - The Activities
Yogatraveller has chosen Koh Ngai Island Thailand not only for its stunning scenery but for the abundance of activities available. Below are details about the diving/snorkelling, Thai cookery courses, kayaking and hiking.
-
There is amazing snorkelling just off the island but you can catch a boat to any of the surrounding islands and get to see a variety of coral reef systems and marine life. -
diving
Yoga and diving are a true complement. Regular yoga practice will both help to extend how long you get from a tank of air, but will also help you to remain calm and focused underwater. Click for more -
Take a bit of Thailand home with you. Thai food is quick and easy to make, once you know how, and all the ingredients are readily available in shops around the world. Click for more -
There are great walks on the island for you to explore either with a guide or on your own.
On the mainland, the high-peaked and heavily forested granite mountains to the north and east are serious hiking, camping and mountain biking territory.
