Chanthaburi province, which is mainly famous for its tropical fruit and gemstone markets, is attracting increasing interest from eco-savvy travelers, such as the Wianecki family, who recently spent a few days in Chanthaburi, after trekking in the rainforest national park of Khao Sok in the South of Thailand.They stayed at Faasai Resort and Spa, which has won Best Small Hotel in Thailand in the TAT (UK) Green Awards, two out of the past three times. They were surprised by the rich bird-life of the region, spotting many different varieties of birds during their two day visit, including kingfishers, drongos, bee-eaters, fantails, lapwings, sunbirds, kites, egrets and bulbuls. “People often don’t realize what rich ecosystems we have here in the dry tropical forests of Southeast Asia,” said the owner of Faasai Resort and Spa, Bronwen Evans. “They often see and hear more birdlife here than in other parts of the country which are more famous for trekking.” The forests and forest remnants of Chanthaburi are part of the Cardamom ranges complex on the border of Thailand and Cambodia and national development plans in Thailand have earmarked Chanthaburi as a special green province. This is expected to attract visitors interested in adventure tourism, eco-tourism, agri-tourism and marine eco-tourism.
