Adventure & Biodiversity – Khao Chamao
Join us on a trip to beautiful Khao Chamao, just 3 hours south east of Bangkok, where students can learn about their role in preventing biodiversity loss. The trip begins with a waterfall trek through the forest, where students will learn about the different flora and fauna and understand the complexity and importance of life on land (SDG 15). Then, they’ll visit Laem Mae Phim and take a boat to participate in local ocean conservation work, exploring the importance of life below water (SDG 14). Throughout the program, students will work on building community and developing strategies to raise awareness and take action against biodiversity loss. By the end of this trip, students will have a greater understanding of the complexities of biodiversity and their ability to make a difference.
Unseen Waters of Thailand
Join us on an educational adventure as we explore the complex history of natural resource and land use in Namtok Phlio National Park and the beautiful coast of Chanthaburi. Students will trek through the lush forest and visit mangrove trees along the coast and into the Gulf of Thailand, engaging with local fish hatcheries and sustainable living communities to observe resource use in the region for gemstones and mining, organic orchards cooperatives, mangrove reforestation, and oyster farming efforts. Potential activities on this trip include a waterfall hike, collecting fresh fruits in an orchard, panning for gemstones, fishing, participating in an Amazing Race market, going on boat trips, beach camping, and night tidal hunts. Soak in the sunshine and learn about sustainability while having fun on this educational adventure.
