Prachuap Khiri Khan · Gulf of Thailand
The Sea Retreat: four weeks facing the sea in Prachuap Khiri Khan
Four weeks on an unspoilt coast of the Gulf of Thailand. The sea to breathe, the group to get back on your feet, and support to understand and change.
Prachuap Khiri Khan, the coast Thais keep for themselves
A few hours south of Bangkok, Prachuap Khiri Khan stretches along calm bays, fishing villages and limestone peaks plunging into the sea. Far from mass tourism, life keeps a slow pace.
The retreat is based in the town of Prachuap Khiri Khan, the provincial capital: a quiet town on a bay, with its seafront promenade, night market and the hilltop temple of Khao Chong Krajok overlooking the coast.
A seaside resort
Participants stay in a resort by the sea in the town of Prachuap Khiri Khan, chosen for its calm, its view of the bay and its shared spaces for the talking circle and workshops. Each participant has a private room with bathroom.
What you will do
- Sea walking (longe-côte): walking in waist-deep water along the beaches. A gentle sport you can do without swimming.
- Kayaking on calm seas, along the coast and through the mangroves, always supervised.
- National parks: Khao Sam Roi Yot, with its limestone peaks, marshes and famous Phraya Nakhon cave; Kui Buri, where you can watch wild elephants in their natural habitat.
- Wildlife and plants: the langur monkeys of Ao Manao Bay, the wetland birds of Sam Roi Yot, mangroves and coastal forests, with local guides.
- Educational farms: eco-tourism activities on local farms, from coconut groves and pineapple growing to organic farming and local know-how.
- And every day: the talking circle, meditation and yoga, art therapy and philosophical exercises.

Walking by the water, with nowhere to be
In the morning the beach belongs to shellfish gatherers and walkers. You join them, slow down, and look.

A typical day
Activity and rest, words and silence
At the hottest time of day, everyone rests for two to three hours. Only the talking circle is strongly encouraged; everything else is an invitation.
