I know India and Bali are the yoga heartland of the world, but is it possible to take long-term yoga classes on a Thai island (any Thai island for that matter)?

What I'm thinking of is spending a couple of months, maybe up to 8 months, practicing yoga on a regular daily basis, while staying in a relatively cheap room nearby - a simple room with airconditioning and bathroom is all I would need.

I live in another Asian country right now, so I have no idea about how prevalent yoga schools are in Thailand.

Any suggestions?

My apologies if this is the wrong section of the forum to be posting this, but studying yoga is also a kind of tourism.
