Orion Center on Phangan - vegetarian cafe, sauna, yoga and detox
Orion Healing Center (Detox & Yoga) Koh Phangan is a meeting and living place for people interested in yoga, raw food, body detoxification, holistic practices, in general - that's all. Orion Wellness Center is located between two esoteric beaches Ao Hin Kong and Sritanu. I would even say that the location is on the left outskirts of Sritanu, but it is in this bay that there is no Sritana beauty, but there are concrete fortifications of the coast and rocky, incapable shallow water, like in Hin Kong. But given the specifics of the place, and if you add the tide, which hides all the ugliness of the bay, Orion on Phangan is a good place for contemplation.

Orion on Phangan
I used to go here for breakfast or dinner all the time, having tried many different dishes, both when I lived nearby and when I later moved from Sritanu. Plus, it was here that we had meetings with friends, the place is somehow very conducive to this. Well, of course, here you can sit with a laptop and work, Wifi allows and no one drives, as in Dot’s Cafe.
Really great vegetarian cafe, although the prices are above average, but not a typhoid. I recommend it to everyone who is tired of Thai food and also wants to try something unusual. First of all, try the veggie burritos, fruit chia salad, and harmless sneakers with your tea. Actually, this is what I ordered most often. Maybe it won't work for you, then take something else. It seems to me that even those who are far from all this esotericism, but who love delicious food, a sauna, silence and sunsets, will like it here..

Yes, Orion, it's not even a cafe, a wellness center and a sauna. There are several Thai-type buildings (pillars and roof), which gather many strange and bright people under their roof. Although hammocks in cafes and scattered pillows (most of the tables are low without chairs) are not typical for purely Thai establishments, in fact, it is not entirely Thai.
I cannot confirm the performance and quality of the healing techniques declared on the Orion website, I have not tried it. As well as the quality of classes in Reiki, Theta and Crystal Healing, gong meditation, therapy and chakra tuning - I leave it to you, write your impressions in the comments. In addition to restoring the soul and aura, for a more mundane cleansing, Orion on Phangan offers a visit to the sauna. According to the reviews of my friends and acquaintances - a place worthy of repeated visits, with a common (female-male) steam room, but without snow drifts and pouring ice water from a ladle.
In addition to open space for study and meditation, Orion has several types of housing. From the simplest, for unassuming and ascetic people, to luxurious bungalows where guests who prefer to surround themselves with beautiful things can live. This resort is not listed on booking systems and is intended only for «for their», strangers do not go here. The restaurant regularly gathers fans of the chef's skills, and the houses are almost never empty - there are always enough people who want to live near the place of employment..

Food prices are lower. And there is also such a life hack, you can not order tea from them, but buy boiling water in a cup for 10 baht and throw your tea there (I often had tea bags in my room).
