Untouched Beauty and Serenity at Thong Nod Bay

Thong Nod Bay in Khanom is a natural site that sets itself apart from the mass tourism that Thailand always experiences.

Resorts in Thong Nod Bay

Currently, there are only two small resorts on Thong Nod beach and this is also the closest point on the mainland peninsula to Koh Samui. Thus, its geographic positioning is key in terms of receiving offshore wind all year round.

Fun Things To Do

Additionally, kayaking and canoe exploration can be done within a 5km radius of the coastline, offering exceptional sightseeing spots such as cliffs, the jungle and uninhabited ‘hard to reach’ beaches.

Thong Nod is perfect for those wanting to avoid crowds, where visitors can feel energized by the purity of nature and fresh air. This bay is also entirely free of any 5G antennas, but still has Wi-Fi connectivity and access to landlines, so exposure to electromagnetic waves is minimal.

Martial Arts Bootcamp Project

A bootcamp project is underway, and this article explores the offering, while still reminding readers and visitors that the idea is NOT to commercialize the area but rather to educate all that come here on how to better utilize and preserve Thong Nod Bay so that it can remain the haven it is and be passed on to our future generations as a unique heritage place for all to enjoy.

A Multi-sports Gym

The first phase of the project is the creation of a multi-sports gym at the resort, Tycoon’s place. Amenities will include a bar-restaurant, a boxing ring, fitness machines and enough space for Muay Thai, martial arts and yoga, with the practice of Muay Boran being a key activity carried out and promoted by Kru Saifon in a designated ‘boot camp’ program.

There will also be Tai Chi classes, Qui Gong, Kenbo, Krabi Krabong and other martial arts disciplines on offer.

Within this unique setting, yoga will be a key and memorable practice to help people become aware of their emotions and other sensations, with this approach rooted in ancient Indian philosophies that have, over time, been incorporated into Hinduism and Buddhism.

Offering a Life-changing Experience

Says martial arts teacher, Alex: “If you want to bring home more than pretty pictures of your experience on Facebook, you might want to go through a real, lifetime changing experience at Thong Nod Bay. Here you can discover ‘Satori’, a true awakening in terms of Zen Buddhism that refers to a deep, intuitive perception of enlightenment, the realization of one’s true nature and the interconnectedness of all things beyond the surface of the constructed ego, often referred to as the ‘monkey mind’”.

Funding the Project

Moving onto the second phase, says Alex, is to secure the necessary funding for activities using canoes, kayaks, Hobie cats, funboards and kitesurfing gear. These activities will allow people to explore close islands such as Ko Rap, Ko Wang Nok, Ko Wang Nai and other peaceful places that are ideal to foster mindfulness and further enjoy the serene environment.

Tailormade Programs

The third and final phase is the development of tailored programs for wellness, along with special artistic workshops that include sketching, music, cooking and gardening (learning the art of cultivating organic fruits and vegetables for the purposes of sustainability). A team of local stakeholders in the field of wellness will work with medical facilities, schools and universities to promote an entirely holistic and beneficial approach locally.
