A private retreat shuttle will be making 2 pick-ups/drop-offs at the airport, different times.

We recommend, easy on/off comfortable sandals, light, breezy clothing, it may get breezier at night so a long sleeve light pajama would not be a bad idea.

If you would like to take part in spiritual ceremonies, temple baths, etc, we ask that you either bring a sarong, or one can be bought easily in the markets there.
