At our resort, we believe that travel should be enriching not only for our guests but also for the communities and environments we encounter. If you are planning to explore Phuket through one of our recommended programs, we encourage you to do so in a way that is responsible, respectful, and rewarding for all.

Animal Encounter Programs

We currently recommend only one elephant-related program, which is conducted in collaboration with an ethical elephant sanctuary that prioritizes animal welfare. Visitors can observe and learn about elephants in a natural and respectful setting—no riding, no performances, and no exploitation.

Recommended Behavior:

• Follow all guidelines provided by the sanctuary staff.
• Avoid physical contact unless permitted.
• Do not feed animals without guidance.
• Refrain from loud noises or disruptive behavior.

Community-Based Experiences

Several of our programs are designed to support and celebrate local communities and traditional lifestyles. These tours offer immersive experiences with local hosts and provide a deeper understanding of Phuket’s rich heritage.

Suggested Programs:

• Full Day Phuket Explorer – A journey through cultural landmarks and hidden local gems.
• Full Day Local Life Program – Experience daily life with local families.
• Full Day Biking Tour on Ko Yao Noi – A scenic ride through peaceful villages and natural landscapes.

Responsible Travel Tips:

• Engage respectfully with local residents.
• Support artisans and small businesses by purchasing directly.
• Be mindful of local customs, dress modestly, and ask before taking photographs.
• Reduce plastic waste by carrying a reusable water bottle or shopping bag.

Our Commitment to Sustainable Tourism

All of the programs we recommend have been selected with sustainability in mind. We partner only with operators who:

• Minimize environmental impact.
• Promote fair employment practices.
• Respect animal welfare and local cultures.
• Provide authentic, non-exploitative travel experiences.

By choosing these programs, you are not only enhancing your own travel experience but also contributing positively to the long-term well-being of the destination.
