Travel Info Thailand

Getting to Koh Ngai Island:

The best way to get to the island is to catch the Nok Air flight to Trang mentioned below and we will help arrange your transfers from the airport

Air:  Fly to Trang Airport.  Flights depart Bangkok with Nok Air, www.nokair.com. We can arrange transfers for you (van and boat) to the resort from the airport.  Flights are inexpensive and can be booked online. The flights take approx 1 hour 20 minutes.

 

There are no public boats going to Koh Ngai.  If making your own way to Pakmeng Pier, please try to arrive at the pier by 11:30am to catch the 12pm speedboats (450 baht) run by the larger resorts on the island--Fantasy Resort, Koh Ngai Resort, etc.  There is usually a 4:30pm slow boat (takes 50-60 min.) that also runs daily, but availability depends on the resort's own guests.  Private long tail boats (1200-1500 baht) can be arranged for various times throughout the day.  The latest time of departure for all boats is about 5:30pm.  Please note that all boats need to be booked in advance.

Your host and teacher can arrange transfers from the airport.. We will help to arrange this on booking.

(Please note that on departure from Thailand, there is a 500 Thai Baht (apx 12 euro) airport tax which will not be included in your international air-ticket. Make sure you keep enough cash for it!

Travel Info malta

www.ryanair.com have now started reasonably priced flights from London and Dublin

www.airmalta.com have now reasonably priced flights from the UK

www.cheapflights.co.uk also has good deals on flights to Malta

 

We arrange transfers from Malta Airport to our retreat centre on Gozo Island and back again as part of our package.

Weather: March, April & May – The weather can get very hot and sunny during these months but the temperatures do tend to drop in the evenings. Likewise a wind can sometimes lower the temperatures of an otherwise sunny day. Bring clothes for the sun but do pack warmer clothes for evenings. Sea temperatures are colder but not unpleasant, most Maltese would avoid swimming in the pools at this time of year but we recommend it! Outside of public holidays the apartments are quiet and we have them mostly to ourselves. Heaters are provided in the apartments if necessary. The temperatures tend to be higher in May than March. Activities such as cycling, hiking, kayaking and rock-climbing are perfect at this time of year.

June, July, August & September – The weather is hot hot hot! During the peak months of summer heat-waves are not uncommon and temperatures can get up to the 40’s. You will understand why the Gozitans take their 4 hour siesta! The accommodation is not air-conditioned, but the walls are stone and there are fans in each room. The subterranean yoga studio is air-conditioned and is a perfect, quiet place to focus on your yoga. Bring summer clothes but do pack light covering shirts and a sun hat if you plan to walk around in the sun. You can always pick things up on Gozo. During the summer the island is popular with local Maltese coming over for weekends. The apartments tend to be busier than other times and there can be families staying. Activities tend to be centered around water: sunbathing by the pool, visiting beaches, swimming holes or seaside villages, taking a trip out to Camino and the Blue Lagoon.

October, November & February – It’s hard to tell what to expect with these months. Temperatures have reached up to 30 degrees and above in November but there are occasional rain and thunderstorms. October is generally hot and sunny, as sometimes November is, but it would be wise to pack for colder weather just in case. The sea is still quite warm after the summer, especially in October and the pools are still refreshing when the sun is out. The temperature definitely drops at night and heaters are provided in the rooms. Activities such as cycling, hiking, kayaking and rock-climbing are perfect at this time of year. The accommodation tends to be quieter too.
