The Islands We Love



Ten suggestions on how to keep the islands green

1. Please, do not throw any non-organic waste anywhere on the islands or in the sea.

2. Please, try to save some water when showering, tooth brushing or when you are doing the dishes etc. Water is a precious liquid here.

3. Please, do never remove corals, shells or other things that belongs to the sea. Many of the world's coral reeves are unfortunately destroyed already. The reeves in the Surat Thani archipelago can still be saved, even if parts are damaged. Corals and shells belongs to the sea, not in a bookshelf.

4. If you intend to buy a car, why not buy one with an efficient catalytic converter. And why not walk short distances, and getting in better shape as a bonus?!

5. Please, use energy saving light bulbs and other energy saving products.

6. If you are a resort owner, please do not dump your waste in the ocean, as this behavior might harm the coastline, beaches and coral reeves for hundreds of years. Why not plan for a future successful business, rather than just quick profits.

7. If you are running a construction site, please take care of your trash in a reasonable way. It belongs to you, not the nature.

8. If your computer, laptop or TV etc. is getting a little old fashioned, but still is functional, please give it to a school or a local young person, instead of throwing it in the garbage.

9. Please, buy as much locally produced goods and products as you can. It is definitely good for the island, its environment and it's inhabitants in many ways.

10. Please, support companies that produce environment friendly and recyclable products.


Let these lovely island be a place for further generations to enjoy as well!

I usually use the same towel at the hotel about three days, instead of letting the staff change them on a daily basis.
