About Back to Nature Group

The Group was founded in 1997 by two Bangkok University professors who took early retirement to develop an eco-friendly tourist environment. They chose to set up a new business in the beautiful Haad ChaoMai National Marine Park in the Trang province of South Thailand. The main concern of the company is to work with the forestry and fisheries authority to develop touristic sites that would not harm the environment and would allow visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

The National Park contains much unspoiled rainforest, deserted beaches, coral reefs, and much wildlife. Many examples of rare birds can be seen, being the home or visiting place of many other birds. The waters around Libong Island are also home to the last known herd of Dugongs.

There are currently three resorts operated by the Back-to-Nature Resorts Group, one of which is on Libong Island (Libong Nature Beach Resort), the second one is on the coast (Haad Yao Nature Resort) and the third, on the plantation between Krabi and Trang Province (Trang Nature Farm Resort).
