The Thai Fruit Retreat

A 7-Day Fruit Immersion On A Tropical Island
with 20 Like-Minded Adventurers!

A 7-Day Fruit Immersion On A Tropical Island with 20 Like-Minded Adventurers!

I took part in Tina and Simon's retreat in 2019, to this day I keep going back to the memories, information and inspiration that that week gave me. When I consider the life I want to create, the joy tropical fruits give me, or the excitement I still feel when I consider the experiences their retreat provided me...it's invaluable. I feel grateful and honoured this is an adventure I committed to. I hope to join them again. I recommend this retreat to anyone looking to enjoy time spent in great energy, eating and learning about amazing fruits, enjoying beautiful nature spots you would be hard by finding on your own and truly experiencing a very unique and magical experience. This is not your average retreat, it is so much more and if you're reading my words I'm sure there is a part of your soul calling you to go, very much aligned with what Tina and Simon have lovingly created. Enjoy!

The first retreat was one of the most amazing life-changing experiences of my life. There is nothing like feasting on the highest quality fruits in a beautiful environment surrounded by like-minded people. I've been on three of Simon & Tina's retreats now and at every single one of them, I had the best time of my life. I've also been on other retreats and none come close to fitshortie's retreats.

What's included?

The Thai Fruit Retreat is an all-inclusive retreat from start to finish. Everything from accommodation to food to activities and transportation is included. No need to take out your wallet at any point during the seven-day retreat!

(Not included: flights to and from Thailand, transport to and from Koh Phangan, visa fees, insurance)

I was plant-based for a few years, but eating the tropical and rare fruits was a whole different level. I felt so light and had so much energy! I feel that even in that one week I healed some ailments. At home, I was close to being homebound but on this retreat, I was hiking and able to do so much more!!!! The conversation as a group and individually was amazing as well. At home I’m not around many plant-based friends and having everyone around me on the same page was sooo neat. Everyone pitched in to help when needed. The smells, sights, and sounds of nature were perfect. The adventures all worked seamlessly and everyone had a great time. The retreat with Simon and Tina was life-changing for me. I personally would recommend this adventure to everyone! (As long as I have my spot first 😉)

Still have questions?
We've got you covered!

👉 Are we going to eat only fruits during the retreat?

You will be able to enjoy unlimited, seasonal, tropical fruits (including unlimited fresh durian), coconuts and juices. We will have up to 25 different kinds of fruit available at The Thai Fruit Retreat. In the evenings we will also enjoy a delicious salad buffet and decadent, savory, raw vegan meals. Like always, we believe in serving you premium-quality fruit and raw foods in absolute abundance! We’ve had so many people join us, most of them were eating an omnivore diet back home and everyone agreed that eating the fruit-based diet during the retreat was so easy. Everyone felt satisfied and happy!

👉 What are the requirements to enter Thailand right now and what about visas?

There are NO special entry requirements regarding covid or vaccination to enter Thailand right now. Everyone is welcome!

Passport holders of the 64 countries below will receive a 30-day free visa exemption stamp in their passports. This means you just fly into Thailand and at the first customs at the airport you give your passport, they stamp it for free, and that’s it, you can stay for up to 30 days in Thailand for tourism purposes.

Nationalities that are not on this list have to apply for a visa-on-arrival before traveling. This can be easily done online or at the Thai embassy in your country.

👉 What is the accomodation like?

Set in a dream location amongst coconut palm trees and pristine beaches you will be enjoying the luxury ofthe designer retreat villa, where you will soak in 2 saltwater pools, relax in the private yoga shala, and take your time to connect with like-minded souls during long, star-lit community evenings.

👉 Where and when does the retreat start & end?

The retreat starts and ends in Thongsala, Koh Phangan. The ultimate Thai island. After securing your spot at the retreat you will receive an email with the exact location of our meeting point (in Thongsala). The retreat will start in the morning on the first day of the retreat and it will end in the evening of the last day of the retreat.

👉 How to get to the island of Koh Phangan in Thailand?

There are 2 good options to get to the island of Koh Phangan.

Fly into Koh Samui, which is the neighboring island. Then on Koh Samui take the 45-minute Seatran ferry from the Bangrak pier which is a 5-minute drive from the airport. There’s 2 Seatran ferries each day. Alternatively you can take any of the other ferries that go between Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, they all take about 45 minutes. You can find all ferries here: www.phanganferries.com. This is by far the easiest and fastest way to get to the island.
Fly to Bangkok and take a short domestic flight to Surat Thani which is the town on the mainland closest to the island. From the airport you can take either the bus or a private taxi to the Donsak pier. Most ferry tickets bought online come with this bus trip included. We suggest you take the Lomprayah ferry but you could also take the Seatran or Raja ferry. The Lomprayah ferry is fastest and most modern. Book your tickets in advance on 12go.asia . Search for routes between Surat Thani Airport and Koh Phangan.

8 am: Sunrise yoga in the private yoga shala.

6 pm: Time for dinner. Of course, we have fresh durian and a buffet of up to 25 different kinds of fruits. Today we also have our favorite Raw Vegan Mexican Tacos. Everyone on our previous retreats is raving about these, they are really that good!

8 pm: We end the day with ‘Story of Your Life’ evening discussions which bond the group on another level.

9 pm: Bedtime to the sounds of the jungle

Every day is completely different and packed full of exciting and relaxing activities. Think massage, boat rides, snorkeling, a raw food cooking class, sound healing, hiking, and much more!

👉 Do you have payment plans available?

Yes! And for this retreat we have really special payment plans available. When you are ready to book your spot at the retreat, send us a DM on Instagram or an email at [email protected] and we can discuss the option of a payment plan.

👉 Do I need to bring extra cash to the retreat?

No. The Thai Raw Food Retreat is all-inclusive. Everything – lodging, transport, food, drinks & activities – is included in the price of the retreat from start to finish. Your flights to/from Thailand, as well as transportation and accommodation before and after the retreat, are not included.

👉 Are children allowed on the retreat?

This is an adults-only retreat due to the nature of the activities. We only accept 18+ years old.

👉 Do I have to be very fit to take part in the activities of the retreat?

No matter your fitness level you will enjoy the retreat tremendously. There will be some activities like nature hikes of around 2 hours at a leisurely pace, but if that’s not your cup of tea, you can always choose the option not to hike and take the boat to where the hikers will catch up or stay behind and enjoy the luxury of the retreat villa.

👉 Changes to your booking and refunds

We allow name changes in case you can not make it to the retreat. If you have booked your spot and decide you can not attend the retreat, we will allow you to transfer your spot to another person which you will need to find on your own. We allow name changes up to 1 month before the retreat start date. Once you have booked your spot for a certain week of the retreat, you can not change the dates of your retreat week even if we are hosting several weeks of retreats close to each other. The retreat is non-refundable. This is because we have already booked the transportation and prepaid many activities and hotel rooms. If you have opted for a payment plan but cannot attend the retreat, the pending payments will still be charged. No credit will be given towards future retreats except in the unlikely scenario that the Thai government changes entry requirements due to covid and there is no way you can enter Thailand anymore. Then you will be able to use your payment as a credit towards any of our future retreats. You can find the full terms and conditions here.
