Vietnam Detox-Co-founders Truong Tan Hoan and Dieter Buchner

Welcome to Vietnam Detox

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.

They often report enhanced energy levels, improved mood, and the ability to engage in various physical activities, all while abstaining from solid foods.
