Xin chào and hello!
We are Dieter Buchner and Truong Tan Hoan, nature enthusiasts and co-founders of Vietnam Detox. United by our love for hiking and healthy living, we launched Vietnam Detox in 2016, bringing the renowned Buchinger Fasting Method from Germany to Vietnam, and blending it with traditional Vietnamese rituals of wellbeing. Our retreats embody a holistic approach, combining the best of two cultures to help you reconnect with nature, embrace movement, and achieve lasting vitality. Join us on a transformative journey where international expertise meets cherished local traditions, all inspired by our own pursuit of health in the great outdoors.
We personally guide you through your fasting journey with care, understanding, and professional expertise. As the only certified Buchinger Fasting Coach in Vietnam, Dieter draws on 17 years of experience leading international guests through successful, safe fasts.
We build each program according to globally recognised standards, prioritising your safety, comfort, and personal transformation. We make sure you can focus on your wellbeing, not logistics; providing pre-arrival wellness guidance, attentive support during your stay, and ongoing coaching throughout your fast.
Whether you are new to fasting or returning for deeper healing, you benefit from one-on-one coaching, a nurturing retreat environment, and a team that cares about your experience.
