Overview

The Orion Healing sauna and ice bath pass is one of the cheapest ways to try contrast therapy on Koh Phangan: the centre's official treatments page lists access to its ice bath and sauna facilities for THB 200. Orion Healing Centre is a long-running detox, yoga and healing retreat on the beach at Srithanu, on the island's west coast, and its facilities are open to visitors as well as to guests on its residential programmes. Reservations are not required, so you can simply arrive when the facilities open.

Orion is best known for its detox programmes, Reiki courses and yoga teacher trainings, but the campus also has a vegan café, a new saltwater infinity pool with a pool café, treatment rooms and daily drop-in yoga classes. That makes it an easy place to spend an afternoon: a class, a meal and a round of heat and cold before sunset.

What the Orion Healing Sauna and Ice Bath Pass Includes

The published price is THB 200 for the ice bath and sauna. Orion's wellness area includes:

Herbal steam room: a Thai-style herbal steam room, which Orion recommends as part of its detox approach. It is open every day from 16:00 to 21:30.
Infrared sauna: a modern infrared sauna for a deep, gentle sweat, also open every day from 16:00 to 21:30.
Ice bath: a cold plunge for contrast therapy between heat sessions.

Orion notes that timings for each facility may vary and asks visitors to check its schedule for the exact times. Reservations are not required. The listing does not state whether the THB 200 price covers the steam room as well as the sauna, so ask at reception when you arrive.

Regular visitors can also look at Orion's monthly unlimited yoga pass, which the centre says includes the sauna, Thai herbal steam room and ice bath. Its price is not published on the schedule page.
