This review based on our own experience,at the 19 May'24 My Mom join this program without any research from us (this is our mistake that's why I need to write this review ,so you gaes can learn from us,please research more and coordinated with your doctor first before join),and I accompany her.
There will be no detail information will be announced about this program at the beginning (when we list our name at their member) or at counter staff (check in time) from their staff, or founder (teacher) or their sales (I can say that, now this is such a retail business already) ,and all responsible are on your own.
For information my mom has diabetic and diagnosis Benign Lymphoma stage 3 (at that moment Diabetic already under control and Lymphoma is not at emergency condition,all condition already informed to the sales member,staff as well) but decided join this detox program because of her friend's persuasion.
My mom list for 8days program but at the 3rd day my mom drop,another member suggest me to consulting with one of their volunteer (who knows a little bit about medical and can communicate directly with Teacher,for info Teacher is not so easy to meet,they talking about karma in this situation) ,she taking picture of my mom and then taking it to the teacher,when she came back she informed that Teacher said its okay,your mom condition still can continue the program,just take less oil than normal person dose,okay,we follow and still hoping that tomorrow will be better
But not,the next day become worse and then at the 5th day (the showing poo day) ,my mom condition is really terrible,she felt pain all of his lower body,and asking me to consulting with the teacher and volunteer again,is it better to go to hospital now
Still remember its not so easy to meet up with teacher right,so ,at that condition I still quee up from early morning with other members ,to waiting for my mom reading poo session,they provided some medicine list that we need to buy from their store (I would not talking about the price,since my concern is awareness)
At my session,the teacher yelling at me ,why I take a new medicine form again,I already gave last time right and you didn't buy and consume it ? (I was really confuse),then volunteer explain once more about my mom condition,turns out Teacher things about another member (wrong person) ,but teacher still insist my mom need to go to hospital now, she had no idea what happen also but the buddha say like that (perhaps about my mom diabetic)
More drama coming,they didn't permit any ambulance to enter the resort,so their staff help us ,until hospital The Volunteer still assuming me to not informed that we just from detox program,just from vacation,I didn't understand how can I lie about that,doctor needs to know everything to help my mom,at the end of the day I just know that the program is illegal (that's why just plenty of Thai join this program)
Its not finish yet,Thai Hospital doctor cannot find out what happened with my mom beside drop immune ,after increasing it we decided to move my mom to Penang Hospital with Rescue Ambulance since my mom condition didn't allowed to take flight
At Gleneagles Hospital we just found out that the lower body pain (cannot move her body side by side,even with helper mom still felt so much pain) because of Bacteria infection that causes a large amount of pus in the pelvic bones and closes the nerves ,from their lab,this bacteria still unknown identified but from herbal medicine
We spend almost 1month at Penang Hospital,after my mom condition allowed to taking a flight we back to Medan,our hometown,but now my mom still need time to recovery. Hope can walk again soon.

Completely ignored, we were made to feel like they did not want to serve us or help us. Never would I recommend to an English speaking nationality. We looked for their services, we looked at the products, we stood in the shop while ignored and people behind us were served. Purchased 2 bottles of suppliments, the cashier could not tell us anything about. We asked if the oils were cold pressed, would have re sieved better information and service from the Gardiner. Ridiculous. Will never return.
We’ve been to many detoxes around Thailand. Indonesia & Australia x 9 different ones and my best results deep detox was this one at Tanya Samui recently.
It’s not all perfect but very close, many people come back up to 10 times to keep improving and rid rubbish and bad cells & toxins from the body. We accumulate so much.
This is not for the faint hearted, but it works, the special oil drink and the Teacher makes all the difference and sets this apart to the other detox resorts we’ve been to.
Eg Cancer tumors can be picked up well before up to 10-12 years before medical Dr’s, as usually it’s already stage 3 by the time they pick it up. Much toxins from autoimmune, liver gallbladder stones, blockages, vaxes. just get released and we poo out this stuff and she reviews and knows exactly what has come out. Our niggles, pains just went away we felt amazing after 14 days.
Teacher definitely has a gift with her reviews, and helps so many via the oils which is like operating inside our body releasing all the bad stuff. You just feel better and better the longer you do this. We are so impressed and are sharing with those who align with us and natural alternatives. You have to have the right open mindset and believe this is helping you. Hundreds of people everyday come and go and bring back family and friends. All word of mouth recommendations.
Beautiful grounds, nature, peaceful surroundings and I loved the regime
Most people do the 8 or 11 day detox. We met people up to 30 days of their detox were improving from serious challenges. We did 14 days detox and so glad we did and got through it. We will be going again later this year & yearly for prevention, keep younger healthier pain free and clean energy for longer.

Tanyasamui is a detox resort where you are to carry out their detox program. I am surprised no one has registered this resort on Tripadvisor. And on Google Maps reviews, no one is giving a proper detailed view of what goes on at the detox program online besides giving vague details and glossing over many things. I shall aim to give as many details as I can so that people know what they are getting into because I was in this situation--I was introduced to this detox resort and program through my mom who was told about it by her friends, and who had also conveniently glossed over numerous details.
Buckle up, this is going to be a long post. To be clear, I will not be discussing if the things that are being preached and what people believe in are factually accurate or not. Although I had a horrible time there from end Aug-early Sept 2023, I will try my best to be as objective as possible and list it out as it is without being influenced by my personal feelings except my last point in this long essay as it is about my personal opinions and feelings.
The aim of the detox program: To flush out one's toxins through pooping. The teacher and founder Khun Kob can detect your illnesses through your poop. According to her, it can cure serious diseases like cancer and autoimmune diseases etc in SOME cases by going through her detox program because she herself cured her own cancer through it and hence started this program. She showed photos of people who were cured of their cancer and all through her program in her talk. Do note that she is Buddhist (there are also multiple Buddhist statues around the resort) and she believes it is one's good karma to be able to know and participate in this program. She also claims she can communicate with the Medicine Buddha and he tells her how to help people.
Amenities and services: Will first talk about the less significant stuff like amenities and services before delving deep into the detox program.
1) The location of the resort is very very very remote. A lot of taxis and tuktuks are reluctant to go here so it gets pricey when you want to travel out or back. It is a 1km walk along the road under the sun to the nearest small town. But then again, if you're going for this detox resort, I don't think exploring ko samui is on your list of things to do hahaha.
2) You can choose between old wing or new wing. please choose the NEW wing because the program requires you to do daily enemas at 5am and you have to queue up to use their public toilet facilities if you stay in the old wing. it is also a bit of a walk to the main courtyard and you have to go there a few times a day.
The room (in the new wing I stayed in): -Is really spacious and nice. -Wifi works well. -There is no refrigerator or hand soap--you will have to carry the body soap provided to and fro. -It is quite hard to adjust the water temperature for the shower. -You cannot hang clothes on the balcony because of the Buddha statues downstairs according to the sign in the room. However, I was told you can't hang your clothes in the room as well because that will still be disrespectful to the Buddha statues. -The doors are thick glass sliding doors that make up the entire wall that faces the corridor. you can pull curtains to close them for privacy but just mentioning it in case you're concerned about the safety and durability of the doors but nobody there will have the energy to break them and rob you, trust me. -They will give you a big 1.5 litre water bottle when you check in, but when it is finished you have to get your own from the water dispenser on every floor.
The outside: -There are also no lifts, only stairs, but the highest floor is the third. I’m not sure if there are any wheelchair-friendly buildings. -There are swimming pools but they haven't been cleaned in a while, but no one will have the energy to swim anyways. -There is a huge spacious gym, but it’s empty because no one has the energy to gym either. -The breakfast provided is very bad and only runs from 6am-9am. -Overall, the place does look quite lovely if you ignore the unclean pools.
3) Staff: They are mostly friendly but the counter staff can be quite haughty. There is no one at the desk at night until the next morning. They will sweep and mop your room every day. A lot of them can't speak or understand English well except for the counter staff.
Detox program: Finally, on to the detox program! I did the 8-day program from end Aug-early Sept 2023 and stopped on the fifth day. You can review the schedule in the pics attached.
1) There is the 6, 8 or 11-day program you can choose from. People there discourage you from going for the 6 days because it does not do much in detoxing your body and functions more like an "easy tutorial". 2) You are not allowed to eat solid food at all. they do provide soup every day at 4pm. 3) 5 am daily self-administered enemas. 4) 6 am daily foot spa after you are done with enemas. 5) Daily laxatives. It was so bad that my mom and I had to keep going to the toilet every few minutes, having our sleep interrupted to poop, pooping our pants thinking it was a fart. And the oil you are supposed to drink makes your poop extremely smelly. I guess we should have known when our beds have plastic sheets underneath like in the hospital. 6) Speaking about the oil, you have to drink Tanyasamui special oil blend twice a day from the 3rd day of the program onwards. It made a lot of people vomit. You have to move about and exercise for 30 minutes after drinking it because if you sit still you will definitely vomit. There is a staff member who brings everyone through aerobic exercises after drinking the oil. 7) After starting to drink the oil, you have to collect your poop in a bucket. The teacher will review your poop every morning at 6.30 am. It will be a long queue. People usually film her feedback of your poop but she said not to upload any of these videos online and I shall respect her privacy. 8) Lack of sleep, lack of food, dehydration from constant diarrhoea = low energy. Never felt so bad as I did during this. 9) I will attach pictures of the schedule and links at the end of this long review.
My personal thoughts, especially with the people I met during the program: This will be a lot more personal.
1) There are a lot of elderly folks there. Many people there have serious health issues and hope to become healthy or cure themselves through this program. The young people there are usually there to accompany their parents. Many, if not all of the people there are Buddhists and believe fervently in the program. The founder and the people there believe the radiation from electronic devices is bad for the body and so do vaccines, and these cause toxins in the body that must be flushed out through pooping. 2) If only I could get a dollar every time someone venerates the founder, I'd be a billionaire. if only I got a dollar every time someone praises me for being a filial and obedient daughter for doing this with my mom and my good karma, I'd be a billionaire too. Speaking up about anything that questions their unwavering belief in the detox program or Buddhism either gets ignored, shut down or an explanation about how the person is wrong. 3) But everyone is also very friendly and says hello even if you don't know each other. People are very happy to share about how they got into this program and how it has helped them, sometimes to the point of unsolicitedly sharing that carries on for a long time. They are also very happy to provide unsolicited advice about things. A lot of them go to sit downstairs in the courtyard where the laxatives, oil and soups etc are given out to chit chat. 4) I was pooping so much because of the laxatives that my haemorrhoids were bleeding consistently. it was so painful to the point that I could not sleep. Although I got medicine from the staff, it was not helping much if I had to keep pooping and I was also worried about getting an infection from the constant diarrhoea. I preserved until the fifth day and decided to end the program early. 5) This is partly because the founder's comments regarding my and my mom's poop changed quite significantly from the day before and I did not think it was worth jeopardizing my health for this anymore. For example, she says my health is better than my mom's and my mom has to come back to the program every 3 months. The next day she said my mom is very healthy and only needs to come back annually. My mom says it might be because her poop is getting "healthier", but I will leave it up to you guys to interpret. 6) When people found out I ended the program early, they had much bigger reactions than me and constantly tried to persuade me to continue and give me solutions on how I could continue with my bleeding anus. A young man my age (23 years old) followed me for over a 1km outside the resort when I was trying to get my first solid meal after 5 days so he could convince me to watch the video he filmed earlier when the founder was praising my mother in front of everyone about how much my mother worries for me and sacrificed herself for my health in a bid to make me change my mind and continue the program before I start eating solid food again (manipulation much?). 7) The founder said seafood is bad because of the toxins and poisons that marine creatures eat in the sea, but the store also sells prawn paste. The founder participates entirely in all the decisions in the resort (including designing the architecture and building of the resort) and she frequents the shop daily to prescribe supplements to people, so I don't believe she is unaware of what is being sold. My mom says it might be because the Thai detox members wanted to buy them so she sold them but hmm, I will leave it up to you to interpret. 7) The founder will prescribe everyone with supplements from her store according to the situation of your poop and people spend A LOT on it. For example, the founder recommended my mother buy 26,000 baht worth of supplements but my mom secretly put stuff back and only bought 9,000 baht worth (~400 SGD). 8) Many people come back to repeat the program. A lot of them have been back for this program close to 10 times to flush out all their toxins completely. 9) The information regarding the detox details and schedule is insufficient and sometimes disorganized and leaves people confused. You need "intel" from the people who have gone there numerous times to know how things work and make the detox easier on your body so best is to befriend people there who will give you tips and info if not it is likely you will make mistakes in the program.
Is this a cult? It sure does tick many boxes (criteria referenced from @/chillpolyamory on IG&Tiktok): discouraged to question/challenge beliefs, the adulation of one person and social hierarchy organized around her, people outside of the program/don't believe in it are considered "unenlightened", strong distinction between good food & behaviours vs bad ones, sleep and food deprivation, instantly having a community of friends, when I quit the program I get disapproved of and persuaded to continue, and it costs A LOT of money.
Money: Just for the program itself and not including supplements, the price is constantly increasing and it is currently 1,100 SGD (they removed the price from their official site so I can't link it). But this price is from my mother who bought the 8-day program coupon from her detox friends in early Sept 2023 because she is going to go back again next year. However, I am told the price for "outsiders" who cannot buy the coupon from other detox members aka the “inside network” is a lot more expensive. On the PDF I got in July 2023, it costs 48,208 baht (~1,900 SGD). but there were also many instances of people being encouraged (very strongly encouraged) to extend their program because the founder says that they are quite gravely sick and need to do more detox and their program can last more than 11 days.
My reason for writing this: My purpose of this post is strictly for AWARENESS. People should know what they are getting into to make informed decisions. I hope no one goes through the same thing I did.
This is the strongest and best detox place I have ever been to. Much more effective than anywhere else on samui. Don't let the basic website put you off. It's huge and also very comfortable . Many seriously sick people were getting better here
