The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is promoting a series of ‘Amazing Organic Trip’ ideas with an emphasis on organic farming activities and healthy gourmet experiences as well as low-carbon footprint initiatives, in line with its ongoing direction to promote and develop high-value and sustainable tourism in Thailand.
Initially launched in Chiang Mai and Phuket, the ‘Amazing Organic Trip’ routes are tailormade under a partnership between the TAT and partners – the Thai Ecotourism and Adventure Travel Association (TEATA), Thai Organic Consumer Association (TOCA), SiamRise Travel, FIND FOLK, and Golfdigg, as well as the local tourism communities.
In Chiang Mai, the Amazing Organic Trip highlights the Mae Tha Community in Mae On District, a model organic farming community for the last three generations. Tourists can learn how the locals adhere to organic agriculture practices to protect the environment, the community forest, and its water resources, as well as the significant role it plays in supplying organic produce to shops and restaurants in the city.
In Phuket, the Amazing Organic trip centres around Ban Bang Rong community, Mai Khao Community and Phuket’s Old Town. Tourists can learn about organic agriculture of pineapple, rubber, and coconut, experience a ‘sand spa’ therapy, explore the conservation of the local ‘Linharn’ herb, and try a hand at catching ‘sand crabs or sea cicadas’ – an indication of the area’s undisturbed ecosystem.
