Audio Guide of Yoga Koh Mak

Yoga Koh Mak is open every day from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., with classes scheduled mainly in the morning and late afternoon; it is recommended to check the current timetable on their website. To get there, take a ferry from Trat to Ko Mak, which takes about 45-60 minutes, and then a local taxi or scooter to the yoga center on the island’s west coast. More details at ferry schedules.

Yoga classes cost between 500 and 800 THB (approx. 15-25 USD) per session, depending on the type (hatha, vinyasa, or retreats), and there is no free entry, although they offer discounts for packages. For families or beginners, there are introductory classes at a lower price; book in advance on their official website.

A typical class lasts 60 to 90 minutes, but if you plan a full session with relaxation or meditation, allow at least 2 hours to enjoy it fully. If it is your first time, arrive 15 minutes early to check in and get ready.

Yoga Koh Mak was founded in 2010 by local and international instructors who wanted to combine the Indian yoga tradition with the relaxed lifestyle of the Thai islands, promoting holistic well-being. Culturally, it highlights Ko Mak’s connection with nature and attracts travelers seeking mindfulness, inspired by Thai Buddhist practices.

The best time is during the dry season from November to April, when the weather is sunny and rain is rare, ideal for outdoor practice. Early morning (around 7:00 a.m.) is perfect for avoiding the heat and starting the day with renewed energy.

The center has flat paths and accessible main areas, but some classes take place on terraces with slight stairs; contact them directly at +66 98 765 4321 for adapted options or chair classes. It is not fully wheelchair accessible in all areas, but the staff is very helpful.

Nearby you will find Ao Kao Beach, just a 10-minute walk away, ideal for swimming, and Ao Sane Beach for snorkeling. Do not miss Wat Suwan Temple, 15 minutes away by scooter, for a cultural experience; explore more on the Thailand tourism website.

Bring comfortable clothing, a mat if you have one, and sunscreen, as many classes are outdoors; book in advance especially during high season. Drink plenty of water and try their herbal tea after class for a complete experience, and if you are traveling in a group, ask about discounts.
