Travel Experience
Discover a different side of Thailand in the beautiful Northern Andaman region of Southern Thailand, friendly communities invite you to experience their traditional way of life and diverse eco-systems in an authentic and non-intrusive way. Guests have the opportunity to learn about the traditional culture of the local people and contribute to the conservation of this outstanding natural environment.
Responsibility
All the activities and itineraries are designed in collaboration with the villagers themselves, based around the principles of community-based tourism to support community-led development by acting as a bridge to respectful visitors and volunteers through sponsorship of education, conservation, and cultural empowerment.
Business Case
They are committed to providing local people with a complementary source of income while still continuing their traditional way of life. Also, support the communities by putting excess revenue back into the village. For example, Andaman Discoveries supports youth scholarships, ecotourism projects, and village guide training.
