Four places to have a Green New Year in Thailand

Green is the new black… More and more people are seeking (sustainable) fun under the sun, so here are some of Thailand’s best green locations to choose from – green in more ways than one!

Ko Phaluai, Surat Thani.

One of the larger islands in Ang Thong Archipelago, Ko Phaluai is a model of green lifestyle with locals switching to renewable energy sources including wind turbines and solar panels to help lower their carbon footprint.

Ko Mak, Trat

Known for being a green island resort, Ko Mak is a place visitors can explore sustainably with low impact activities including biking, kayaking, and sailing. Solar farms are a norm on this island.

Bang Kachao, Samut Prakarn

A huge green lung of Bangkok, Bang Krachao is dense with trees and a laidback lifestyle despite it being a stone’s throw from Bangkok.

Khao Yai National Park, Nakhon Ratchasima

A massive area of a lush rainforest that has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage, Khao Yai National Park encompasses four provinces of Thailand’s central and northeast regions and it is home to a biodiverse range of flora and fauna, from elephants, wild deer and gibbons to hornbills and colourful kingfishers.
