News
Sea turtles make a comeback on Ko Samui
A good news story from Ko Samui where a green turtle has chosen a quiet, private beach in front of the Banyan Tree resort to nest. The female sea turtle has now laid three clutches of eggs with the first hatchlings expected to emerge sometime between March 28 and April 12, 2020*. This is a rare, but welcome event for Ko Samui and an encouraging sign that environmental measures being taken by the Banyan Tree resort and others on the island are having a positive impact.

Say no to plastic bags
Retailers in Thailand are launching a new campaign aimed at tackling the problem of single-use plastics. From January 1, 2020, many shops in Thailand will no longer hand out plastic carrier bags. Shoppers at 7-Eleven, Tesco Lotus and many other outlets in Thailand are being encouraged to bring their own reusable bags as part of the “Every Day Say No to Plastic Bags” campaign. Tourists are also being reminded that single-use plastics are banned at all of Thailand’s National Parks.
