Heartfelt thanks to Amazing Thailand, TAT, and guests, from the Anurak Lodge family

As repor­ted here, Anurak Com­munity Lodge in south­ern Thai­l­and won the Tour­ism Author­ity of Thai­l­and 2024 Respons­ible Tour­ism Award in the “Respons­ible Tour­ism Accom­mod­a­tion” cat­egory. We are at once proud and humbled.

Deepest gratitude

The entire Anurak Lodge fam­ily extend our deep­est grat­it­ude to the Tour­ism Author­ity of Thai­l­and (TAT) for the esteemed “Best Respons­ible Accom­mod­a­tion in 2024” award. 

This recog­ni­tion is not merely an accol­ade; it is a test­a­ment to our entire team’s unwaver­ing ded­ic­a­tion and pas­sion, from the warm smiles of our recep­tion­ists to the metic­u­lous care of our house­keep­ing staff.

This award sig­ni­fies a shared vic­tory with our val­ued guests, who have con­sist­ently chosen Anurak Lodge as their home away from home. Your trust in us has been the driv­ing force behind our com­mit­ment to sus­tain­ab­il­ity and respons­ible tour­ism prac­tices. We are humbled by your sup­port and inspired to strive for excel­lence continually.

Receiv­ing this award rein­forces our belief in the power of respons­ible travel. Tour­ism should enrich trav­el­lers’ lives, uplift the loc­al com­munity, and pro­tect our pre­cious environment. 

This recog­ni­tion motiv­ates us to strengthen our sus­tain­ab­il­ity ini­ti­at­ives, such as our ongo­ing Rain Forest Rising Tree Plant­ing Pro­ject. Through this pro­ject, we act­ively con­trib­ute to refor­est­a­tion and work towards a green­er future.

We are deeply honored to be recog­nised by TAT for our efforts. This award will serve as a con­stant remind­er of our com­mit­ment to respons­ible tour­ism and inspire us to con­tin­ue cre­at­ing unfor­get­table exper­i­ences for our guests while pre­serving the beauty of our sur­round­ings for gen­er­a­tions to come.
