Do I have to go without food for a week?

No, at our Chiva-Som resort in Thailand you can choose from either a juice fasting detox OR spa cuisine detox package, or a combination of both. Due to the cuisine being so fresh and healthy, your body will benefit whatever option you go for. To help you decide what’s best for you, we organize for you to meet with one of the Health Advisors on day 1 of your stay.

How do I get to the retreat venue?

Our Thailand retreat venue is located about 3 hours drive south of Bangkok, near the town of Hua Hin. Bangkok airport is very modern and efficient. There are many airlines to choose from, including British Airways, Thai Airlines, Eva Air (who we’ve used and enjoyed very much) and more. Good deals can be found with www.cheapflights.co.uk. Return flights from the UK to Thailand are around £500 (which, we’ve found is not much more than flights within Europe on the ‘low cost airlines’ if you fly at busy times of the year).

Once you arrive into Bangkok, you are met by one of our drivers (who will be standing with a name board as you walk through arrivals). They will drive you direct to the venue, where the smiling faces of the Chiva-Som team await you.

Are flights and transfers included in price?

No, flights and transfers are not included in the price. However, once you book your flight we ask you send your flight details to the venue so they can organize your transfers to the venue for you.

Is it safe to travel alone to Thailand?

Yes, in our experience it is both safe and easy. Once you arrive at the airport you will be met by one of our trusted drivers who will take you direct to the venue in a comfortable car. This is both safe and convenient.

What are the bedrooms like?

Air conditioned with ceiling fans, the rooms are all very comfortable. We’ve had some of the best nights sleep at Chiva-Som due to the comfortable beds. You can choose from Thai Pavilions that look over beautiful gardens or ocean view rooms.

What’s the weather like?

We usually run our retreats at Chiva-Som in March and October. Although these times of the year are known as being the ‘rainy season’ in Thailand – we find the weather at Chiva-Som to be perfect – sunny and warm during the days and refreshingly rainy at night. Even better news is you get to enjoy lightening shows over the ocean when having dinner at the restaurant… simply stunning.
