“Khao Lak is very close to my heart: my family have been coming here to rest, connect (with ourselves, each other and our extended Thai family), immerse ourselves in Thai Buddhist culture, Thai cuisine and beach life for the last two decades. This is the fourth time I’ve hosted a yoga holiday in Khao Lak and the first in collaboration with my ‘Not Just Asana’ co-host, Sandy. I’m very much looking forward to sharing this adventure with like-minded people.”

Reserve your place!
NB:

As this is a yoga holiday rather than a retreat or a pilgrimage, you will have time to enjoy the beach and water activities, bars and restaurants in Khao Lak Centre (including a growing number of vegan and vegan-friendly eateries). This will be the tail end of the rainy season so there will be some rainy moments. Massages and other treatments at the Orchid can also be arranged.

INVESTMENT:

$2195 pp twin share

$2595 pp single room occupancy

NB: Your holiday price includes a donation to the local temple project and Hands Across the Water Orphanage

Your spot is secured with a $900 deposit (please contact us for bank details).

The remaining amount will need to be paid in full at the latest 21st Aug for us to cover the costs of all the bookings and activities in advance.

Includes:

  • 7 nights accommodation at Khao Lak Orchid Beach Resort (Keith only ever stays here), with daily breakfast, welcome dinner and farewell dinner.
  • Return shuttle bus from Phuket Airport
  • Twice-daily yoga classes from 22-27 October (morning Jivamukti, evening yin or restorative) taught by Keith and Sandy
  • Phuket Vegetarian Festival  (vegan street fairs and temple visits in Khao Lak and Old Phuket). Phuket Veg Fest is one of the most incredible experiences you will ever have…
  • Temple visits. As Madame – the owner of Khao Lak Orchid – is a devout Buddhist, we have the opportunity to visit various temples and also Ajan Chid, Keith’s mother’s teacher, in his Forest Monastery. A donation to the Forest Monastery is INCLUDED in the price of the holiday.
  • Visit to Hands Across the Water/Baan Than Naam Chai children’s home. Keith’s family have been connected with this orphanage since its creation directly after the Boxing Day Tsunami. It’s actually one of the happiest places he’s ever been… and he’s proud to say he’s seen many of these children grow up; some have returned to work here. A donation to the orphanage is INCLUDED in the price of the holiday.
  • Tour guide, Tony Sittiporn, Keith’s mother’s Thai son. Tony actually co-designed the Orchid but now currently lives in North Thailand. He is returning to Khao Lak just for us.

“I enjoyed absolutely everything about this holiday but the VERY best part was Tony’”- Amy (two-time participant of Thai Yoga Holiday with Keith)

  • Kirtan chant evening with Keith and Sandy
  • Many other (included) surprises

FAQ’s:

  • Yes you can add days before/after the dates to stay at the Orchid (for a very reasonable price). You’ll just need to let us know well beforehand.
  • As of this post (April 18th), economy flights with the major airlines are around AU$1200 from Sydney but these prices will increase closer to the date.
  • A visa is not required for Australian travellers for this length of travel time
