Jungle Hike, Camping and Environmental Education

http://blog.andamandiscoveries.com/2011/08/holiday for kids.html On a fresh Saturday morning, Andaman Discoveries, along with a team of very willing volunteers, decided to give the children from the Southern Thailand Orphanage project and the Youth Group from Ban Lion an amazing holiday. We arranged an adventure packed weekend for the children to our nearby islands on the Andaman Sea. A few drops of rain in the morning did not keep us from jumping on the boat! Our poncho s all packed, we were off to Koh Ra for a hike in the pristine jungle. There were 50 children excited to run through the jungle and explore the area, and enough guides to help them through the days activities!

Environmental Education Camp in Ban Talae Nok

In March 2008 Andaman Discoveries and Mangrove Action Project (MAP) joined forces to provide a second environmental camp for the Youth Group of Ban Tale Nok, this time with more work and more science involved! Mrs Jaruwan Kaewmahanin of Mangrove Action Project (MAP) spent the weekend teaching the youths how to research and create a transect map. The camp carried out two types of transect mapping. The first was forest and community, which shows the overview of natural resources and describes the location and distribution of resources, the landscape and main land uses. The second was mangrove transect, which is specific on mangrove biodiversity.

News Coverage in Tung Nang Dam (Thai)

In late 2006 a news team from Bangkok filmed homestay experiences in both Ban Talae Nok and Tung Nang Dam. In addition to filming tourists engaged in local activities such as soap making, rubber production, visiting fish farms, and helping cook regional dishes, the media also interviewed ACE Experts and village chiefs for their perspectives on community based tourism in their villages. With good weather and great guides, all trips were successful. (We hope to add English subtitles.)
