Muay Thai
Muay Thai, the respectful way.
Calm, technical coaching for every level, including people who have never trained. Sessions begin with the wai kru, a traditional way of showing respect to your teacher. No fights, no pressure, nothing to prove.
Wrapping up
Hands wrapped with care before every session.
Pad work
Technique and footwork with a coach, at your pace.
Cooling down
A slow stretch and a slower breath to finish.
- Every level, from your first session
- Sparring optional, light and controlled, never required
- Rest days built into every week
Yoga
Yoga, at the island's pace.
Gentle, guided classes for every body and every level, including your very first one. Breathe, stretch and slow down in an open-air space with the sounds of the island around you. No experience or flexibility needed.
Morning flow
Wake up slowly with breath and easy movement while the island warms up.
Open-air classes
Small groups in a shaded pavilion, with a teacher who adapts every pose to you.
Rest and stillness
Every class ends with a few quiet minutes to sit, breathe and be still.
- Beginners welcome, no flexibility needed
- Props and options for every body
- Pairs well with Muay Thai: train in the morning, stretch in the evening
Buddhist temple experience
A quiet, respectful guest experience.
We arrange a guided, respectful temple experience with a partner temple: the logistics, a local guide and an etiquette briefing before you go.
Temples are places of practice, not attractions. The temple sets its own rules, schedule and donation customs, and guests take part as respectful visitors.
What it can include
- Monk chatAn informal conversation with a monk about daily life and practice.
- Morning alms observationQuietly observing the morning alms round, where the temple welcomes it.
- Meditation instructionSitting and walking meditation. Beginners welcome.
- A short temple stayWhere possible, following the temple's daily routine.
- Dhamma talksWhen offered by the temple.
Etiquette and what to bring
- Clothes that cover shoulders and knees
- Shoes off where asked; feet never pointed at people or images
- Quiet voices, phones away; photos only where allowed
- A small donation is customary, never required
Elements depend on what the temple offers.
What a day can look like.
Sample days for each focus. Real schedules depend on your dates, pace and our partners' timetables. Sundays are off.

How does booking work?

To secure your booking, we then email you a secure card payment link for the deposit; the amount is in that email.

Where is Koh Yao Noi and how do I get there?

Do I need a visa?
It depends on your passport and length of stay. We can share general information to help you prepare, but it isn't legal advice and we can't guarantee any outcome. Please confirm with the relevant embassy or immigration office.
How fit do I need to be?
You don't need to be fit to start. Intensity is adjusted to you and every journey includes rest. If you have an injury or a medical condition, please check with your doctor before you travel and let us know.
What is the temple experience like?
A guided, quiet guest experience at a partner temple, with an etiquette briefing beforehand. The temple sets its own rules, schedule and donation customs, and what's possible depends on what it offers.
