Unveiling the “Stay for Good” program

Banyan Tree Krabi has joined hands with a local fishing village, offering guests the unique opportunity to participate in weekly excursions to a nearby island renowned for its exquisite batik fabrics and woodcrafts.

Launched as part of the Banyan Tree Group’s global initiative, this program encourages visitors to immerse themselves in the rich local culture, support traditional crafts, and contribute to the well-being of the community.

For instance, at Buahan, A Banyan Tree Escape, which is located in Bali, guests can participate in a day-long activity with local farmers to hunt for fruits and edible plants.

At Garrya Nijo Castle in Kyoto, Japan, tourists can embrace the power of transformative travel experiences by learning how to weave grass and create traditional thatched roofs for nearby villagers’ homes.

Sustainability at the heart

Banyan Tree Krabi is committed to minimizing its carbon footprint and preserving the environment.

Partnering with Souvenirs From the Sea, a local artisan project, the resort upcycles beach refuse into stylish tote bags, supporting sustainability and the community.

In addition, Banyan Tree Krabi organizes regular Earth Day beach clean-ups, demonstrating its dedication to maintaining the pristine beauty of the region.

You can also participate in Forest Bathing, a nature-based educational tour that raises awareness about environmental conservation and the protection of local flora and fauna.

Leading the charge in sustainability and community engagement is Ms. Thepsuda Loyjiw, the Sustainability Manager at Banyan Tree Krabi.

With her background in marine biology and expertise in climate change adaptation and mitigation, Ms. Loyjiw ensures that all conservation and research activities are carried out with utmost care and in alignment with the resort’s commitment to sustainability.

“Of course, many guests come to a serene destination to relax, to enjoy cocktails at sunset, spa treatments, and wining and dining,” said Loyjiw. “However, they also want to see the local customs, and nothing feels better than giving something back to the community.”
