Elimination of single-use plastic is one of our key targets to minimize the adverse impact to the environment; for 20 plus years we have taken ‘plastic pollution’ very seriously and continually aim to reduce non-decomposable waste to landfill and oceans.
Since 2003, we have provided drinking water in glass bottles, and was the first hotel on Koh Samui to completely ban plastic water bottles throughout the hotel, including mini bars in guest rooms, all restaurants, bars, and gift shop, ect. We also source all carbonated drinks in aluminum cans, serve take-away breakfast in a cardboard box, and provide gifts for the source in paper bags and toiletries in refillable containers; in addition to this we have also eliminated all plastic straws for beverages and replaced them with handmade lemongrass straws.
In 2017 we calculated substituting 79, 000 plastic bottles, 12,000 plastic straws to lemobgrass to lemongrass straws, and 500 polystylene boxes to cardboard boxes for take-away breakfasts.
The Tongsai Bay continues to strive to find more new alternatives to protact the environment.
