In this day and age, we are all aware of the benefits of a detox. Whether it be a simple three day detox or a longer, more intense program, there is no doubt that the benefits of a detox are highly beneficial for one’s health and well-being as well as overall mindset. To be quite honest, detox programs are not easy. They come with an avalanche of emotions, and can be physically and mentally difficult. However challenging they prove to be, it is important to note that the after effects of any detox are so very rewarding.

Located high in the hills above Kata Beach in Phuket, Santosa Detox and Wellness Center is the island’s premier detox and wellness destination. Our main goal at Santosa is to encourage others to live a healthy life. All of us at Santosa Detox and Wellness Center feel strongly about health and wellness in all aspects of life, and believe that the foundations to living a healthy life should be laid during childhood.
For this reason, Santosa Detox and Wellness Center is once again proud to announce our annual ‘Santosa Kids Day’ which will allow children from the local Burmese community to come and spend a fun-filled day with us. On the day of the Santosa Kids Day, local Burmese children will be given the opportunity to experience a healthy lifestyle by participating in a variety of activities including Zumba for kids, Yoga for kids, animation group games, presents for the children and so much more. The children will also be treated to healthy vegan food courtesy of our on-site vegan restaurant. The entire day has been designed around promoting health and wellness, and it is sure to be a treat for the Burmese children.
The Santosa Kids Day is a collaboration between Santosa Detox and Wellness Center and the Good Shepherd Phuket. A local organization headed by a group of Sisters and volunteers, the Good Shepherd Phuket works closely with Burmese migrant populations and offers social services to those most in need. They work in direct service with children, women, families and victims of human trafficking to offer support and improve dignity and self-sufficiency.
The Burmese children attending the Santosa Kids Day are members of the Good Shepherd Phuket project known as the BanYa Literacy Centre. The literacy centre provides an education to local Burmese children complimentary to what they would receive in Myanmar with the hope that they will feel empowered and return to their home country as a productive member of society.
Good Shepherd Phuket does so much for the local Burmese community, and we are thankful for this opportunity to provide the children a healthy kids day. More about the Sisters and their work can be found here goodshepherdphuket.com
The Santosa Kids Day would not be possible without the ongoing support of the Phuket Grumpy Old Men’s Society. The Phuket GOM Society is a group of like-minded expats on the island who host a variety of events throughout the year to raise money for charity. Always a pleasure to be paired with such a great group of guys. If you are interested to learn more about Phuket Grumpy Old Men’s Society, visit their website phuketgoms.org
Over the last month at Santosa Detox and Wellness Center, we have hosted Tim Stoneman. Tim has facilitated hypnotherapy sessions on a donation basis. The donation money collected from the hypnotherapy sessions will go towards all of the activities on the day of the Santosa Kids Day.

The yellow flags have been risen all across the island in honour of the upcoming Phuket Vegetarian Festival. Without a doubt the most anticipated annual event, the Phuket Vegetarian Festival takes place from the 1st to the 9th of October 2016. Throughout the nine days of the festival, the island comes alive with many activities and events showcasing the deep rooted Thai-Chinese traditions of the festival.
During the Phuket Vegetarian Festival, we recommend you visit a Chinese shrine, sample some of the local Thai vegetarian food and take in one of the interesting processions that parade through Phuket’s Old Town.
The history of the Phuket Vegetarian Festival
In 1825, a traveling opera company came from China to perform for the many tin miners in the Kathu district of Phuket. Quite suddenly, the entire company grew sick from unknown circumstances. The company then decided to stick to a strict vegetarian diet to honour two of the Chinese emperor gods, Kiew Ong Tai Teh and Yok Ong Sone Teh. The sickness that had been affecting the entire opera company suddenly subsided.
The local people living in Phuket’s Kathu district were very interested in how quickly the vegetarian diet healed the opera company and they were curious to know how it was done. The answer given was that ritual vegetarianism and its ceremonies had been the cause of the members of the opera company healing quickly. The local people embraced this belief enthusiastically, and the first Phuket Vegetarian Festival was held in the ninth lunar month of that year.
Celebrate the Phuket Vegetarian Festival with Santosa Detox and Wellness Center
The Phuket Vegetarian Festival is a wonderful time to be in Phuket and the festival truly is a local favourite. The Phuket Vegetarian Festival is a perfect time to consider a detox or abstain from eating meat as well as indulging in other detrimental behaviours. The rules of the Phuket Vegetarian Festival highlight such things as abstaining from alcohol, refraining from eating meat and behaving both physically and mentally.
Although there is no lack of vegetarian food in Phuket, especially during the Vegetarian Festival, during the first week of October would be a great time to stop by our innovative restaurant and try a number of the delicious items from our vegan menu. We also offer a vegan buffet every Wednesday and Saturday evening that is excellent value, and introduces a wide variety of dishes that are not only good for you, but fresh and tasty by the way of utilizing fresh, local ingredients.
