Frequently asked questions about your detox holiday retreat

What is the difference between a fast, a cleanse and a detox?2023-03-26T02:06:30+07:00

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.

What is a colonic?2023-03-26T01:33:45+07:00

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.

Is Detox right for me?2023-07-24T18:54:35+07:00

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.

Is accommodation included in my detox?2024-12-28T01:33:01+07:00

We offer accommodation in all-inclusive detox packages. See accommodation options and prices

I am confused about the different kinds of detoxes you offer2023-03-26T02:06:11+07:00

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.

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.

How should I prepare for my fast?2023-03-26T01:34:27+07:00

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.

Do I get to eat during my detox program?2023-03-26T02:04:20+07:00

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.

Are my colonics administered by someone else?2023-03-26T01:59:35+07:00

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.

What people say about us

I have recently returned from a study seminar held at the Sanctuary and it completely exceeded my expectations, so much so that I stayed an additional week! My jungle hillside bungalow was heavenly- spacious, clean and inviting. I cannot thank the wonderful staff enough for making our stay so special- Tuna and staff at front of house were beyond helpful and accomodating, and the restaurant staff were just incredible- they remembered us all by name (11 of us!), and always greeted us with a smile and impeccable service. The food was fantastic, a huge flavourful menu that did not disappoint- incredible fresh seafood dishes, and tasty vegetarian options, including a detox menu that was equally as delicious. I had several treatments at the Tea Temple, each was wonderful, the therapists are very skilled and intuitive, special thanks to Kitty for an amazing Thai massage. Sunday afternoon beachside was also made special with the chilled groove and lounge vibes with resident DJ Slacky- perfect accompaniment to a signature Thai Garden cocktail! The Sanctuary is a special place, made more so by the wonderful people working there. Many thanks especially to William, Sam, Soe and Aung, I hope to see you all again soon! With love and gratitude, Alex
What can I say another amazing stay at the SanctuaryStaff 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 priceyThere 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❤️❤️❤️
This is such a wonderful place if you search peace, no jet skis at the beach, wonderful calm and chilling atmosphere. You can only reach by boat. I had the garden house and it looked exactly like the pictures on the Web page. But consider the stairs, nothing if you have knee issues but a cost free workout if you want to loose weight. I did the 14days program which starts with detox. Ann & Nam ( sorry if I spelled it wrong) so great and took care of everyone adjusted to the respective needs. Chris the Trainer gave me such good advice during the training sessions. Thanks for that and for letting me sweat. Tuna at the reception also great and supportive! And the restaurant and team is great: yes it is more expensive than other Thai food but high quality and healthy and outstanding atmosphere. I am usually a meat eater but I did not miss meat, coffee or cigarettes..not even craving for it. I saw it in one of the reviews - no trash at the beach (everything is cleaned up every morning) Thank you all for the wonderful time ! Kind regards Antje
I have stayed many times at The Sanctuary, and each time is bliss..The food is faultless and location breathtaking. And to top it off, is the amazing staff...they are always welcoming, joyful and incredibly helpful, and this makes your stay seamless...special thanks to Tuna, William, Sam and Soe....Warmest wishes, Deidre
My favorite beach... Clearest water... nice waves..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.
This place is truly special, not just for its breathtaking nature and peaceful atmosphere, but for the incredible team that makes it feel like home. The staff is warm, welcoming, and genuinely committed to creating an unforgettable experience for every guest. It's a wonderful spot to meet amazing people, practice yoga, take part in other lessons, or simply lay back and relax. The yoga sessions and other classes are led by exceptional teachers who bring both passion and expertise, adding immense value to the entire stay. Surrounded by stunning nature and a positive energy that lifts your spirit, this place offers a rare blend of tranquility and inspiration.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.
The detox and wellness program and activities at the Sanctuary are very professional and great value for money when compared to other wellness retreats. I left feeling fantastic, and wishing I could stay longer. Although not luxury accommodations, they are fairly described on the website and priced accordingly. The location is a bit hard to get to but beautiful. I learnt a lot, and was so well supported and cared for by the lovely staff there. I will definitely be back!
A quiet haven, away from agendas, pollution, noise and distractions. The perfect getaway for friends, couples or solo travellers to unplug, focus on their well being take yoga classes, eat clean, attend meditation classes, holistic therapies, workshops, swim in the ocean... get spoilt by the wonderful staff. Get excellent massages and treatments, meet like minded people on a journey of self discovery, finding their purpose and slowing down. Eat, breathe and be grateful. Thank you all.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!
A big thanks to Nan, Bone, Ann and the wellness team. I have just returned home after a 10 day fast at the Sanctuary and feel great. A great choice for anyone looking for a kick start for a healthy reset.
This was my fifth time at The Sanctuary in 2.5 years. From the first time, I fell in love with the place, the people, the staff, the food, the atmosphere- everything was just what I wanted and I knew I would be back very soon. Every time is just perfect in every way.Thank you Nolan, Sam, Tuna, William and the whole staff for making me feel so welcomed and at home. Will be back again soon :)
