Faasai Resort and Spa wins Best Small Hotel – Thailand Green Awards 2011
Faasai Resort and Spa wins Best Small Hotel – Thailand Green Awards 2011
Chanthaburi, Thailand (PRWEB) November 17, 2011
Faasai Resort and Spa, a small four-star eco resort on the Southeast Coast of Thailand, has been chosen as the best small hotel in the Thailand Green Awards for the second time in the three-year history of the awards.
The awards are arranged by The Tourism Authority of Thailand (UK) and responsibletravel.com, in recognition of the growing environmental awareness of British travelers and interest in green travel. They were presented by HRH Princess of Thailand, Ubolratana at the World Travel Market in London in November.
An outstanding feature of Faasai Resort and Spa is the creation of an organic and edible forest garden, which apart from providing healthy food for staff and guests, helps the environment. “The world is facing shortages of food, fuel and water and climate change. By producing our own food in line with traditional Thai farming techniques, we are able to reduce our carbon footprint, increase biodiversity and provide shelter and food for local wildlife,” said the owner-manager of the resort Bronwen Evans.
The resort gardens cover approximately 20 acres, including a nearby sanctuary called White Water Lake. This area of wetlands, natural springs and orchards has a small reservoir that helps protect the local area against flooding and drought. The King of Thailand has described such small reservoirs as “monkey cheeks” referring to the way monkeys store food in their cheeks, and he has suggested that more be built around the country to help prevent a recurrence of the disastrous 2011 flooding in Thailand.
The TAT Green UK Travel Awards are intended to support sustainable tourism development in tandem with the growing concern we all have for our planet said the Consumer Marketing & PR Manager for TAT (UK) Joanna Cooke.
“The awards recognize and celebrate TAT’s partners in the travel and tourism industry who have made an outstanding contribution to growing Thailand as a sustainable destination.”
The MD of responsibletravel.com Justin Francis said the organization was pleased to support the efforts of local operators committed to responsible travel.
“Thailand has always been famous for the beauty of its pristine beaches and diverse cultures. With these Awards it’s great to recognize the determination and commitment of hotels and tour operators to preserve it,” he said.

ASTRA Selects Creativity for Kids Kit as a Best Toy for Kids
ASTRA Selects Creativity for Kids Kit as a Best Toy for Kids
Cleveland, Ohio (PRWEB) November 07, 2011
ASTRA Retailers selected the Shrinky Dinks® Fairy Garden kit, manufactured by Creativity for Kids, for the 2011 “Best Toys For Kids” Award. This kit now shares recognition with other toys recommended by ASTRA as top products for encouraging healthy and fulfilling play for children. When parents shop for the holidays, they can do so with confidence that these toys will both engaging and fun for their children.
For years, Shrinky Dinks® have captivated kids of all ages (adults too!) because it’s just so much fun to do. The Shrinky Dinks® Fairy Garden kit combines making Shrinky Dinks® charms with pretend play. This kit includes the authentic Shrinky Dinks® film in a variety of designs popular with girls who are into fairies and forests. The charms are pre-cut for ease of use, and the kit even includes a sharpener for the Faber-Castell EcoPencils. These pencils add an environmentally friendly component as they are made from reforested wood.
This award is particularly meaningful, as Kathleen McHugh, President of ASTRA, points out,
“ASTRA’s top picks are different. They are made by neighborhood toy store owners around the country who vote on the selections based on watching kids play in their store all day long and talking with parents.”
“Our retailers, who are also play experts, selected Shrinky Dinks® Fairy Garden because it represents the kind of toy they want in their locally-owned stores—a product that’s not about what the toy can do, but rather about what the child can do with the toy,” continues McHugh. Shrinky Dinks® Fairy Garden gives kids a play experience that challenges their imagination, creativity, and other skills.
To launch the holiday shopping season with community-minded fun, local, independent toy stores across the country will be celebrating the joy of play during Neighborhood Toy Store Day on November 12, 2011. ASTRA Retailers will host special events for children at their stores, to increase awareness that local toy stores are vital members of the community.
