ECOTOURIAM: FUN AND ADVENTURE

Ecotourism involves responsible activities in natural areas that conserve the environment and consider the quality of life of the local people. Climate, coral reefs, caves, fishing, beaches, and rainforests, combined with the rich culture of the country, make Thailand the perfect place for the development of ecotourism. Many communities are now hosting tourists at the same time as maintaining their sustainable agricultural practices and conserving their environment.
One type of ecotourism is adventure tourism. Hard adventure tourism combines excitement and a degree of risk in an outdoor setting, frequently demanding physical exertion and skill. Soft adventure tourism involves only a minor element of risk, little physical exertion, and limited skills.
You can hike through the largest areas of protected forest in Southeast Asia, dive at the most dazzling places in the Andaman Sea, observe more than 900 different species of birds, kayak in tranquil lagoons surrounds by limestone cliffs, bicycle through mangroves, or marvel at beautiful orchids. You can rock climb, abseil and explore caves. Experience all of these in unspoilt natural Thailand.
