How recent are the pictures posted?

1. Accessibility

 Look at what each service does and does not provide with regard to accessibility and dietary needs.

2.)  Compare total costs.

Are the rates all inclusive for meals and beverages? (There may be cases where only “break refreshments” are provided.)

 Are the rates all inclusive for workshops and activities?

 Are the rates all inclusive for equipment? (There may be cases where the equipment is rented.)

 Are the rates all inclusive for transportation? (There may be cases where a shuttle is rented.)

 A yoga retreat that provides only yoga classes may be cheaper than a yoga retreat providing all inclusive rates; however, you may end up spending more with hotel and meal costs.

3.) Location and Accessibility

Petchaburi may be a more viable option for getting out of the city more since it is further from Bangkok.

It is a good option if you want to do yoga retreats and work or other activities in Bangkok.

There may be better options for you if you do more research. What is good for someone else may not be what is good for you.

International Travelers: Expect a brief delay getting to your accommodation to check-in, or make your first class.

Properties in Petchaburi are better suited to guests looking for a more experiential vacation, with nature and the outdoors. If a vacation with more city and night life, a bigger choice of eateries and activities, and general ‘happenings’ is what you’re after, then Bangkok is more suitable.

If guests want to arrange their own transport out of the city, Petchaburi is more convenient than Bangkok.

If guests are looking more for cultural and activity based experiences, then Bangkok is more suitable. Also, depending on the provider, they offer yoga classes and workshops.

If guests want to integrate yoga into a short getaway, then both are suitable.

So, for guests wanting to be able to design and plan their ideal wellness getaway, comparisons can be made.

Planning to arrive a bit early may help to alleviate stress.

You may experience some relief from your daily grind while on retreat, but the positive long term impact this may have on your life may be greater.

Mistakes to Avoid When Selecting a Yoga Retreat

From the thousands of pictures you will find on the internet, there are a few things to look into before deciding on a picture alone. The mistakes people usually make when deciding on a yoga retreat is as follows:

Focus on Pictures: Attractive pictures do not show the true story behind a facility. It can be very disappointing to find out the pictures do not relate to the teaching standard.

Consider the level of yoga: Doing an intense yoga schedule will not allow for the purpose of relaxation.

Many people have the misconception that doing yoga can quickly address your issues. This, however, will not be the case if not accompanied by other activities that focus on your true self. For a long lasting benefit on your true self, it is advisable to incorporate as many activities as you can.
