Thailand Wellness Journey: Phuket & Beyond with Brooke Brimm

Welcome to Phuket! The magic of this island is totally undeniable, and you'll feel it as soon as you step off the plane. At the airport, catch a transfer to your resort, check in, and start unpacking your bags. Don't be afraid to get comfortable – this is your home away from home for the next 6 days! After some time to relax and settle in, we'll come together as a group for a delicious welcome dinner at Blue Elephant, a Michelin Guide rated restaurant famous for their Thai classics and Peranakan menu. (Vegan options will be available for each meal.) From here, we’ll head to Phuket’s Sunday Night Market to shop and connect with the local culture. Enjoy!

Good morning! It's the first full day of our Thailand retreat, and we're going to make our time count. As the sun rises and lights up the island, we'll attend a morning yoga and meditation session to get our minds and bodies ready for the day. Then, in the afternoon, we'll head out into town for a bit of exploration! We'll get a taste of authentic culture in Phuket Old Town and visit the impressive Phuket Big Buddha statue. As afternoon begins to melt into evening, we'll wrap up this wonderful day by grabbing dinner at Tu Kab Khao, a sophisticated restaurant that serves up some true Thai delicacies.

Today is centered around deep relaxation and delicious food. Does it get any better than that? We'll start our day once again with yoga and meditation before enjoying a morning with tons of free time. In the afternoon, we'll begin a Thai cooking class where we'll learn the basics of creating some Thai staples. Then, once we've become experts (or at least confident amateurs!), we'll eat our creations as our dinner.

Ready for a change in scenery? We're headed to the gorgeous Phi Phi Islands today! After breakfast, we'll zip away in a speedboat to Maya Bay, a location regularly considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the entire world. From here, we'll head to a spot where we can snorkel and luxuriate in some truly amazing views. It's then off to a nearby island where we can take a break and eat a lunch of incredible Thai food with vegan options. After relaxing and laying out in the sun for 2 hours on the beach, we'll sail back to Phuket and wrap up the day with dinner at the hotel.

After our morning wellness session and breakfast, we’ll take a boat ride to the secluded Freedom Beach. The ride is USD 20 and can be paid right at the dock. Relax in the sun, and enjoy this little slice of heaven. From here, we’re off to indulge in a Thai lunch at a local restaurant before an afternoon of down time to enjoy the resort and its luxe spa. Finally, we'll wrap up the day with a special farewell dinner on a Sea Angel cruise where we can chat about the wonderful memories we've made as the sun sets over the island.

How time flies! Today is the end of our amazing trip here in Thailand. After a quick morning session and some breakfast, we'll speed off to the airport with plenty of time for you to hop on your flight. Thanks so much for joining us, and we hope you have a safe, comfortable journey home!
