Getting there…


By Air from Bangkok: Look online (Bangkokairways) for flights going to Koh Samui. These range in price from 3,000-5,500 one-way. There are flights every hour. The first and last flight each day are the cheapest. The flight takes about an hour. From the airport, take a shuttle to the Big Buddha pier (10 mins drive). There are ferries going to Had Rin on Koh Phangan at 10 am/1 pm/4pm. The fare is 150 Baht and it takes 50 mins to Had Rin. You can also look at 1-2-3-Fly, which fly to Surat Thani from the BKK Don Muang airport, then put you on the shuttle and ferry to Tong Sala for about $50-60 US.


Had Rin Note: This is the last place to go to the ATM/bank. No atm or moneychanger on Had Tien..



Truck: There is now a road from Baan Tai (between Tong Sala and Had Rin) to Had Tien. This is an alternative when the boats don’t go or when the waves are big. If they are driving, you can find them at the Had Rin ferry dock around when the ferries (Had Rin Queen) arrive. Be prepared for an extremely rough ride. The price is 300-400 baht. They will drop you off in front of the Sanctuary in Had Tien.

From Had Tien to the Yoga Terrace:

A few important notes: we are NOT at the Sanctuary, so use these directions or just ask for Why Nam Beach, a 5-10 minute walk from Had Tien. Classes are no longer at the Had Tien house where Kirsten and Rolf first taught .                                                                                                                                                From Had Tien Beach, you will walk along the path going through the coconuts away from the Sanctuary, parallel to the sea and the sea on your right. Walk for a few minutes, go up the hill toward Why Nam Beach (you will see signs). Once you are at the top/there will be steps going down to Why Nam. You will see the Yoga Terrace halfway down the steps to your right, on the cliffs.  If it’s raining/windy, keep going down the steps to the beach and you will see a yellow space just left of the restaurant.
