Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:
The Suwan Macha cruise stops in some villages on the journey. At these villages we encourage our guests to contribute money for the construction of schools, the purchase of school books and pencils, and other equipment for the children of the villages which were badly damaged by the Tsunami.
Our chefs will buy only local products from the communities for the meals on board the Suwan Macha boat. All leftover food from our cruises is given to local villagers to help feed their livestock.
The Ang Thong National Park has many different corals, such as elephants tusk coral, brain coral, stragshorn coral and in deeper water plate corals and flower corals. Marine animals found inhabiting these reefs include Butterfly fish, Angelfish, Parrotfish, Stingray, Black tip shark, Grouper and Cowrie shells. All visitors to this marine park have to pay an entrance fee (already included in our package prices) which in return is used by the Thai government to contribute to the conservation of this unique area.
Some of the islands in the Ang Thong National Park are providing local Seafood and Thai restaurants and also opportunities for purchasing local souvenirs.
