CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities have become an integral part of many companies’ initiatives, aiming to instill a sense of social responsibility among employees. These activities also help strengthen relationships among colleagues while offering meaningful and memorable experiences. Here are 8 popular CSR activities across Thailand—perfect for those looking for ideas or options for their next CSR project. Let’s explore what they are and where they take place:
1. Releasing Sea Turtles into the Ocean – Pattaya/Chonburi
This activity focuses on the conservation and breeding of rare sea turtles in Thailand, whose numbers have significantly declined. The process involves collecting turtle eggs for incubation, raising the hatchlings for 3–6 months, and then releasing them into the sea at Chuk Samet Beach. The activity is conducted under the supervision of the Sea Turtle Conservation Center of the Royal Thai Navy in Chonburi.
2. Mangrove Tree Planting – Hua Hin/Cha-Am
Participants plant mangrove trees to help restore coastal forests, combat deforestation, mitigate natural disasters, and address global warming. Mangroves also provide habitats for marine life such as crabs, shrimp, and small fish. The trees take 5–10 years to mature naturally. This activity is popular due to its proximity to Bangkok, requiring only a few hours of travel.
3. Elephant Care Program – Kanchanaburi
Perfect for elephant lovers, this activity supports elephants facing various challenges—such as aging, health issues, or abandonment. Participants help by planting elephant food (e.g., bananas, sugarcane, pineapples, pumpkins, and Napier grass), feeding and bathing the elephants, and learning about their natural lifestyle in Kanchanaburi.
4. Litter Collection at Wat Phra That Doi Suthep – Chiang Mai
This CSR activity involves cleaning up the area around the sacred Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, from the parking area to the temple stairs. As a major tourist attraction, the site often accumulates litter. This initiative not only promotes environmental cleanliness but also offers participants a chance to engage in a merit-making activity.
5. Releasing Blue Swimming Crabs into the Sea – Phuket
Held in the mangrove areas of Tha Chat Chai village, this activity involves releasing blue swimming crabs to replenish marine resources and promote ecological sustainability. The Phuket Provincial Fisheries Office provides guidance and education to participants, making it both a fun and informative experience.
6. Donating Supplies to Koh Kood School – Trat
This activity supports under-resourced students at a small school on Koh Kood Island. Donations may include scholarships, uniforms, and school supplies. The goal is to improve the quality of life and educational opportunities for the children.
7. Forest Planting in Khao Yai – Nakhon Ratchasima
Participants plant trees in Khao Yai National Park, guided by staff who explain the importance of each species to the ecosystem. This activity helps expand green spaces and provides food and shelter for wildlife.
8. Building Artificial Fish Habitats – Ban Mod Tanoy, Trang
In this activity, participants place artificial fish homes under the sea to provide shelter and encourage marine population growth. Located in the fishing community of Ban Mod Tanoy, Trang, this initiative helps support local fishermen, especially during the monsoon season when fishing is limited.
