Andaman holidays & community tours, Thailand

Planet

We are committed to minimizing the environmental impact of all our trips by actively not included flights and, where possible, prioritizing rail and shared transport options that lower carbon emissions per traveler.
Accommodations are selected based on their use of local material and their commitment to reducing their carbon footprint through sustainable practices.
Our program itineraries integrate human-powered activities such as walking, cycling, and kayaking to further reduce reliance on motorized transport.
Guests receive guidance on how to minimize the carbon impact of their holidays, and we ensure that meals provided are locally sourced, seasonal, and inclusive of vegetarian and vegan options. In addition, we work with partners who demonstrate responsible food and waste management policies.

People

Our programs are designed to protect and restore nature while supporting local communities. We ensure that accommodations reduce their environmental impacts through measures such as waste reduction, renewable energy use, water conservation, and sustainable building practices.
We select partners who are actively restoring the forest habitats, from small initiatives like pollinator-friendly gardens
Trips contribute directly to conservation through entry fees to national parks and protected areas, donations, or partnerships with local foundation.
Guests are encouraged to reduce their environmental footprint through tailored guidance, while expert local guides provide knowledge, context, and deeper connections to the local community and ecosystems. We also consider optional conservation contributions to further support rewinding and biodiversity initiatives.
We ensure that the majority of staff engaged in our operations are recruited locally, with preference given to individuals from the immediate community. We work with our partners to provide income-generating opportunities for groups often underrepresented in the tourism sector, including women, indigenous people, and persons with disabilities, while guaranteeing that all staff are paid more than the legal minimum wage.
Our workplace policies promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, fostering equal opportunities regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or nationality. We ensure that our trips are LGBTQ+ friendly.
