Enhanced facilities and guest experiences now available at award winning Anurak Community Lodge in southern Thailand
Thailand, 2024-Aug-13 — /Travel PR News/ — Anurak Community Lodge beside Khao Sok national park near Phuket and Krabi in southern Thailand has completed renovations and improvements to its guest rooms and bathrooms, the main restaurant, public areas and water supply.
The award winning 19-key ecolodge has also added nine new mountain bikes bringing the total available in a range of sizes to 15.
The ecolodge’s main Hornbill restaurant, known for its spectacular jungle views, has been refurbished and its opening hours extended.
Jungle-style dinners are now prepared in a specially created open-sided bamboo sala which has been relocated deeper into the lodge’s six hectares of wild flower gardens, which have been enhanced by a veteran local landscape gardener.
A newly drilled 120-metre well now provides high quality pure water to the guest rooms, the kitchen and restaurant. New septic tanks have also been added.
In five guest rooms, new air-conditioning units and new bathrooms have been added. New mosquito nets and bigger high quality towels are now in all rooms.
The local approach roads to Anurak Lodge and nearby properties have been resurfaced by the local government.
“With the impact of the tropical weather on the property and the covid years challenges behind us, the time was right to make major improvements,” said Rob Pearce, General Manager at Anurak Lodge. “We have made real improvements and we are grateful to all the guests who have just given us one of the best high seasons ever.”
Sustainability is central to Anurak’s operations. Kitchen recycling and composting of waste food has been enhanced. The lodge’s Rainforest Rising project has been reinstated. Guests buy a t-shirt and can plant an indigenous species of tree in the gardens.
Anurak Community Lodge won the PATA Grand Award for Sustainability in 2020. The ecolodge is Travelife Gold certified.
