Thai Detox Fasting Resorts (Koh Samui)

Koh Samui's fasting resorts charge $1,500-4,000 per week for water fasting, colonics, and liver flushes in tropical settings. The "gallstones" displayed in glass jars after liver flushes are saponified olive oil, and prolonged fasting without medical supervision has resulted in documented cases of dangerous electrolyte imbalances, cardiac arrhythmias, and emergency hospital transfers on the island.
