Program
Weight loss & detox
The Weight Loss & Detox Programs aren’t just about food and exercise, instead they’re about detoxifying your life. Exercising, eating a clean diet, living in nature and partaking in mindful exercises, such as yoga and meditation are considered to greatly improve mental health as well as the physical self. At the end of the day, the two go hand in hand.
Now imagine being at a retreat that combines all of these and puts them together such a way that your new lifestyle change becomes second nature.
Welcome to Battle Conquer.
You’ll start with the “Raw Fest” (optional may not be suitable for all guests.) This allows the colon to rest by removing a complex diet and providing natural energy and vitamins from raw foods. After five days your body will be ready to start enjoying some of the finest fresh Thai food packed with heaps of nutrition. %To help you reset, Battle Conquer has included all of the sightseeing tours in this package (go to Included Excursions for more information.) There are hikes that take you to breathtaking views, Thai massage treatments to help you unwind and you train against a backdrop of lush farmland.
Yoga
We offer a variety of different yoga and meditation experiences through out the week so that you’re not short of choice. Our guided
meditations are rather special and conducted during the temple tours, expect to learn a variety of meditation styles.
Hatha Yoga

Yin Yoga
Release and relax: Yin Yoga is a specialist practice focusing on long holds and relaxation techniques to deepen flexibility.
Vinyasa Yoga
Invigorating: Synchronising yoga asanas with the flow and rhythm of breath, vinyasa is a free flowing form of power yoga.

Included excursions
The Buddha Run.
Take the Battle Conquer challenge of climbing three hundred steep steps to a hillside temple set in a cave as many times as you can in one hour or simply relax at the top taking in the magnificent views.
Fish Temple & Monkey Temple.
The first stop is the market to buy bananas, make sure you have a lot as there is going to be plenty of hungry monkeys. Next stop is the pretty Fish Temple set out on a jetty with stone steps leading down to the water. Give a donation for a bag of fish food and be amazed at the sheer size of the fish ready to greet you.
Dragon Temple.
A very elegant and picturesque temple with two giant dragons set across water and wonderful gold decorated statues of Buddha.
Meditation with English speaking Monk at the Monastery.
Meeting the English speaking Monk is a very spiritual experience. You will be able to ask him many questions as well as sit and meditate with him. Afterwards, you will take a hike with him along the rocking maze or stone steps. The drive to the monastery takes you through the beautiful Phetchabun Hills, the scenery around the monastery is extremely pretty and the views at the top of the hike are breathtaking.
Etiquette for visiting Monk and Temples.
Be sure to have your shoulders and knees covered to be allowed to enter the temple, shoes must be taken off before you go in. Also, as part of Thai tradition, it is good manners to take the Monk a small gift, for example, food, water or money is perfect.
Sunday Gym Excursion.
Everyone looks forward to the Sunday rest day! There are many beautiful places to visit in Phetchabun, so on Sunday, Battle Conquer takes you to their favourites. It could be the stunning Nong Pye Lake, one of Phetchabun's largest set deep in the valley with beautiful panoramic views, take a raft out and relax, swim, fish, if you’d like refreshments, it’s not a problem, simply wave a flag and you can order the most delicious food and drinks delivered to your raft. Sapailo Temple is another lovely location for a trip out with its pretty gardens and caves to explore or they may take you to the hot spring baths.
Other Experiences.
Every Thursday and Friday, they have a meditation practice at the temple or lake. On Friday evenings, you can tour the vibrant night markets. They can also arrange fishing in their local ponds. There is a lot to see and do, so please ask if you want to see something specific that's not listed here and they will see what they can do to help.
