3. How to book and confirm
- Request: book online (or at reception) and pay a 1,000 THB booking deposit.
- Confirmation: your booking is only confirmed when Blue Chitta reception or a manager confirms it to you by email or message. Until then, the time is not guaranteed.
- If we cannot confirm your time, your booking deposit is refunded in full.
- Once confirmed, the booking deposit is non-refundable and is taken off your rental price.
- Full payment of the rental must be made before you use the shala — in cash at reception, or online by card (card fees apply).
4. Damage deposit — 1,000 THB cash
On arrival you pay a separate 1,000 THB damage deposit in cash. After your rental, our staff check the shala. If everything is fine, the full 1,000 THB is returned to you in cash.
If any rule below is broken, or the shala is damaged or left dirty, Blue Chitta will keep part or all of the deposit. If the cost is more than 1,000 THB, you pay the difference.

6. Responsibility and insurance
The renter is responsible for their group and for any damage they cause. We recommend the renter has insurance. Blue Chitta is not responsible for injuries or loss of personal belongings during the rental.
7. Ending the rental early
If the rules are not respected, Blue Chitta may end the rental immediately. In that case the rental payment is not refunded and the damage deposit may be kept.
8. Agreement
By signing (or ticking "I agree" when booking online), the renter confirms they have read and understood this agreement, will follow the rules, and accept that the deposit will be kept if the rules are broken.
