Discover a different side of Thailand! Only a few hours away from the touristy areas of Phuket, Koh Samui, and Khao Lak, a very different experience awaits you. Here, in the beautiful Northern Andaman region of Southern Thailand, friendly communities invite you to experience their traditional way of life and diverse eco-systems in an authentic and non-intrusive way.
This undiscovered part of Thailand will captivate visitors from all walks of life, young and old. Guests have the opportunity to learn about the traditional culture of the local people and contribute to the conservation of this outstanding natural environment.
Andaman Discoveries works in partnership with these communities to provide responsible and authentic community based tours, which genuinely benefit the local people. We offer eco-tours, cultural tours, educational programs, interactive handicraft workshops, and volunteer placements, even for those with limited time or tight budgets.
