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 19-key ecolodge, which won the PATA Grand Award for
Sustainability in 2020, and is Travelife Gold certified, has also added
nine new mountain bikes.
The ecolodge’s main Hornbill restaurant, known for its jungle views, has been refurbished and its opening hours extended.
Jungle-style dinners are now prepared in an 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.”
