Generating income to locals

CULTURAL PRESERVATION

Our mission is to preserve and revive culture by empowering local masters to share Thai culture to the world through sustainable tourism. Every trip you book creates direct impact that increases income to local masters and ultimately helps to sustain the culture. The profits generated from trips are going to fund the Hive Academy and Creative Culture projects as well as community development projects to help culture to flourish once again so that it will be here for future generations.

THE HIVE ACADEMY

This capacity building program helps local masters to train in the areas that they need such as storytelling, enterpreneurship, trip operation, product development and also connects local masters to cross-share learnings amongst themselves.

CREATIVE CULTURE

In this innovative youth cultural program, local masters share their expertise to teach kids to learn more about the culture in their communities through hands-on activities and creative workshops. The process inspires students to bring in their creativity and ideas to innovate and help culture to flourish. Not only will they gain knowledge about the culture but they will also gain personal development and skills such as teamwork, confidence, public speaking and pride in their communities and heritage.
