We would talk you out of it

Koh Samui. Samui does not follow the mainland or Andaman calendar, and this catches people out constantly. The northeast monsoon pushes across the Gulf from October, so October to December is Samui’s genuine wet season — November is the wettest month of the year. February to April and June to August are the reliable windows.

Asked and answered

Questions we actually get

Is extended fasting safe?
Under supervision, for a screened healthy adult, for a defined period — yes, and that is exactly why you do it here rather than at home. Refeeding syndrome is a real risk afterwards, which is what the last days and the final bloods are for.
Do you sell colonics?
No. The properties we list offer them; we do not include them in anything we sell and we will tell you the evidence is poor and the risks are real. If you want them, that is a conversation with the physician on site, not with us.

Not sure this is the right list?

Tell us what is actually wrong and we will shortlist three houses — or tell you that Thailand is the wrong answer, which happens about one enquiry in six.
