In the Community
Since relocating to Thailand in 1999 to start an adventure travel company we’ve been guided by some simple truths:
- We’re lucky to live here.
- Thailand and its people have and continue to make our lives incredibly rich.
- When an opportunity to assist presents itself, grab the reins and take the lead.
- Always leave areas better than we find them.
- The most essential ingredient to helping is time, not money.
Smiling Albino believes in integrating our business with outreach opportunities that better Thai communities. We’re a small company trying to make a legitimate difference - efforts from a few, creating a strong, positive sphere of influence.
Just like our adventures, each handmade with no outsourcing, so are our outreach programs. All SA community pursuits have been developed when a perceived unmet need was noticed. We talk to the locals involved, discuss options to help then develop the program, resulting in benefits for all. Many volunteers and partners, such as the Rotary Club of Bangkok-South, pitch in to make these programs successful.
Our unique position of being in regular contact with interested, socially aware foreigners as well as being active members of the local Thai community has opened a variety of social opportunities for Smiling Albino and our friends.
