Thailand family tour

Planet

Carbon reduction

Accommodation and restaurants in the itinerary use locally sourced food which has not been transported long distances.
We choose to travel by overnight trains twice (a round trip) and not use domestic flights.
Vegetarian options are available at most accommodation and restaurants.

Environment and wildlife

By travelling in a small group, we ‘tread lightly’ to minimise our impact on local resources and the environment.
We work with our partners on the ground to proactively reduce waste; this includes eliminating all single-use plastic water bottles by providing refills for reusable bottles.
The payment of entrance fees to natural reserves, such as Erawan National Park, Khao Sok National Park and Ang Thong Marine National Park, generates income used to upkeep and develop these important sites.
We rewild 1,075sqft (100sqm) per passenger to compensate for all trip and flight emissions.

People

Local economy

The use of a local guide means our customers are well informed about local traditions and cultural-social sensitivities.
This trip brings income and opportunity to the destination community through the inclusion of locally owned hotels and restaurants, the emphasis on eating locally produced food, and by supporting other local enterprises.
Near Kanchanaburi, we stop by the village of Baan Nong Khao to learn about village life, including participating in making khanom tan, a dessert made with palm sugar. Here, we watch the locals at work and have the chance to support the village industries.
