Phang Nga is Thailand at its most surreal—a seascape where limestone towers erupt from jade-green water like something imagined. Beneath the cliffs, mangrove forests weave dense green canopies, and hidden lagoons open only at the turn of the tide. Rainforests spill down to the shoreline, alive with hornbills and macaques, while longtail boats glide silently through channels so narrow they feel like secret passages.
A community-based tourism initiative in southern Thailand that connects travelers with immersive cultural and environmental experiences. Revenue from tours and homestays directly supports local conservation projects, habitat restoration, and social development programs in coastal communities.
The Surin Islands protect some of Thailand’s healthiest reefs. But they’re also home to the Moken, one of the last sea-nomad peoples of the Andaman. Once entirely ocean-based, their way of life is being reshaped by climate change, modernization, and conservation pressures. Surin is both a paradise and a frontline for the Moken’s uncertain future.
