Detox FAQ´s.
For optimal results from the program, we suggest reducing your caffeine intake, particularly coffee and black tea, to lighter options such as green tea or herbal tea at least 3-5 days prior to your arrival. Additionally, we recommend incorporating fiber-rich foods like vegetables and fruits as your main dish. And limiting your protein intake to a small portion on the side. Furthermore, it is advisable to avoid consuming simple carbohydrates like white flour, white rice, alcohol, and dried fruits.
In our daily lives, numerous factors can disrupt our detoxification, metabolic, and digestive systems. These factors may include stress, poor dietary and nutritional habits, lack of physical activity, environmental pollution, and personal crises. Living in a stimulating society can also have an impact. The consequences of these disturbances can be observed in your health and well-being. You may find that you cannot handle stress as effectively as before and experience anxiety and depression.
Your sleep patterns may be interrupted, and your elimination may not be as thorough, resulting in more gas, bloating, and indigestion than usual. These are early signs of reduced performance in your digestion, metabolic, and detoxification processes, leading to an accumulation of toxins and an imbalance in your gut flora.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, it may be time to detoxify your body. At The Sanctuary Thailand, a reputable detox retreat center with over 30 years of experience in fasting detox programs. We have helped thousands of guests from all over the world reset, rejuvenate, and achieve their wellness goals. We offer a full fast detox with herbal supplements, elixirs, and daily colonics. You can experience complete elimination and a feeling of wellness with our 3.5-day, 5.5-day, 7.5-day, or 10.5-day programs.
Colonic, also known as colonic irrigation, involves the infusion of water or other liquids into the rectum to flush out the colon. Advocates of the practice believe that it can improve digestive health and overall well-being. Prior to the procedure, a wellness consultant will typically conduct a consultation. Which will ask about your medical history and help complete wellness summary forms.
At our facility, we firmly believe that the colonic process is a personal one, which is why we require our clients to self-administer their colonics. However, rest assured that we provide detailed instructions on how to do it correctly, ensuring that you feel confident and comfortable throughout the process.
The terms “detox” and “cleanse” refer to dietary and lifestyle practices that help remove toxins or impurities from the body actively.
A detox program involves a short-term dietary plan that aims to eliminate toxins from the body, usually through fasting, juicing and supplements. The primary goal of a detox program is to rid the body of accumulated toxins and reestablish balance in the body’s systems actively.
On the other hand, a cleanse is similar to a detox but usually refers to a more long-term and sustainable approach to a healthy lifestyle. Cleanses typically involve making dietary and lifestyle changes that support the body’s natural detoxification processes. Such as eating a balanced, nutrient-dense diet, staying hydrated, and engaging in regular exercise.
Detox Retreat Holiday, available in various lengths ranging from 3.5 to 10.5 days. For an even more personalized experience, you can add special overlays to your program for only 700 baht per day.
If you’re looking for a more gentle approach, try our Gentle Cleanse program. It includes one meal per day and doesn’t involve colonics. As with our Detox program, you can also add overlays to tailor your experience.
Introducing our latest offer, Balance provides delicious and healthy meals from our cleanse menu that are tailored to your body’s specific nutrient needs. We offer keto, vegan, and pescetarian options, and all our meals are gluten-free, dairy-free, and free of refined sugar.
We offer accommodation in all-inclusive detox packages. See accommodation options and prices
Our signature Detox program does not involve eating but instead provides fiber-rich drinks, juice, herbal elixirs, and supplements. However, you can enjoy a delicious vegetable broth in the evenings as a supplement to your cleanse.
If you’re looking for a more lenient approach, our Gentle Cleanse program allows for one meal per day.
Alternatively, our “Balance” program involves eating a standard amount of food to support your body’s natural detoxification processes.

What people say about us
Thank you Nolan, Sam, Tuna, William and the whole staff for making me feel so welcomed and at home. Will be back again soon :)
Ps: the first time I stumbled upon the sanctuary was in 2008! I promised myself I'd be back one day! Only took me 16 years!
Staff are amazing (big shout out to Sami,Hong, Tuna, Abel, Wah Wah, May and Soe)
food is great the menu is extensive and interesting... A little pricey
There is a disco in the jungle on Friday night which is well publicised - either go dance or wear earplugs.... Don't complain about it. The Thais have to make a living as well!
The people are what make it special.. So don't tell anyone about Sanctuary when you leave.... Keep it the best kept secret
❤️❤️❤️
A special thanks to Sue, Abel, William, Sam, Tuna, Mey, Abale, and the entire crew for making everything perfect, and to the amazing teachers Randel and Nina for sharing their wisdom and guidance.
But the prices are "criminal"high.
Money welcome!
The bourgoise of alternative Mainstream and Esoterik. I feel uncomfortable if alternative people pay such high prices..
2 simple plain eggs 100 baht without anything around is a really arrogant.
The others not better...
This has nothing to do with Thailand anymore! This is a bubble and the new coloniaslism of Western tourism on higher Level at the most beautyfull places in the world...
But the people pay these, and Thai people are excluded .
The owners sureley are positive 😂 friendly with such a private goldmine.
