Costs and Practicalities
(Prices have probably gone up from those quoted - please check if you are thinking
of going.)
Flights from the UK to Bangkok are perhaps £6-700 return (8-9 hours). Then
there is a local flight by Bangkok Airways to Koh Samui. This is around £150-£200 return (1 hour). You can also
travel from Bangkok to Samui by land and boat to reduce the cost.
A taxi from the airport to the resort is a few pounds.
Once at the resort, the seven day colon cleansing costs around 12,000 Baht (2009 - £230, $300, 230 Euros). (Check here for prices.) As you are eating nothing for seven days, there is little to
spend on food. You may spend $8-10 (£6) a day on carrot juice, broth, coconut milk and liver flushes. There
is a good and very reasonably priced restaurant at the resort itself, so you can look forward to making good use
of this after the colon cleansing has ended.
In 2003 there were two centres of the resort; the "Beach" and the "Village". Since then, a third
colon cleansing centre has been added on a separate island on nearby Koh Chang. Both islands are
reachable by plane from Bangkok airport.

The Beach
The Beach is right on the beach and is the original resort. The cheapest
"bungalows" were extremely basic in 2003, and not recommended. Refurbishment has now taken place, so probably
these have now been improved. The next level up can have air conditioning, and I would recommend this. These
bungalows will also be more "creature-proof".
The rooms at the Beach resort are a steal - from 1200 baht (2009 - £25, $30) a night including air
conditioning . There has been considerable refurbishment over the past 5 years and air conditioning and
western-style bathrooms have been added to many of the old rooms as well as most of the new rooms.
The view across the bay from many of these rooms is fantastic.
The Village
The Village resort is about a mile away and was completed in 2003. At the
time, it was much more modern, clean and tidy than the beach resort. However, the beach has been extensively
refurbished since then so there is probably not much difference now.
There are fantastic views over the trees to the bay. Being on hilly ground, there is a certain amount of difficult
walking at the Village. The nicest (most expensive) bungalows have the highest climbs.
At the time of visiting, the ambience of the Village was not as relaxing and pleasant as that of the Beach -
because it was so new. This may well change with time.
Some visitors stay near to the Spa Samui resort, and just come in for the cleansing drinks and colemas. This is
quite possible, and there are numerous "bungalows" for rent very near. If you are on a very low budget, this might
be the option for you.
To Book
To book accommodation for colon cleansing at the Spa, contact them through
their web site (address at the end of the article). When you check out, there might be a supplement for paying
with a credit card - check for this before you go.
Car hire is available locally from around £15 (2009 - $20, 15 Euros) a day. If you have a few days at the end of
the cleanse, you can relax while looking round the island. For the good of your health, I would recommend ending
your cleanse with a few days of relaxation. This would make the minimum recommended stay 12-13 days - 7 days for
the fast, 2-3 days getting your digestive system used to eating again, and 3 days of relaxation before returning
home.
Email facilities are available at the resort and other locations nearby.
If you go to one of these resorts for your colon cleansing please do let me know how you get on.
