Experience Real Thailand In A Deeper Way Than Ever Before

Away Resorts Thailand, one of the four brands of Astudo Hotel and Resort Management, proudly announces the launch of the “Experience Real Thailand” at their Away Tusita Resort in Chumphon, located on the beautiful unspoiled beach of Had Arunothai in one of the most unique provinces in Thailand.

Due to the growing number of tourists demanding authentic holidays with a genuine Thai cultural experience, Away Tusita resort owner Khun Teerawut is hoping to exploit this niche and develop a new approach to excursions in Chumphon. Teerawut observed that “there is more to Thailand than sitting on the beach, so at Away Tusita Resort we have created a new concept to provide our guests with more of a ‘hands on experience’ to learn the true nature of Thai culture”. The innovative programs will offer guests a wide choice of activities and cultural insights ranging from fruit carving to night fishing and will go beyond the usual shows and tours to give tourists a deeper perspective into the Thai way of life.

With the ‘Experience Real Thailand’ guests of Away Tusita can now experience it firsthand themselves with active participation and emersion into the local communities and population. Night fishing from a boat with real Thai fishermen; exploring the life of a Thai monk by visiting a local temple; visiting a rubber or coffee plantation to experience the interesting methods of these ancient processes or cycling to the local villages and temples to experience the real local life in the neighbouring village Paktako.


These are alternation options of the extended program of activities around the province for guest to join every day during their stay at this stunning resort. A unique holiday opportunity to learn, feel and love Thailand in a deeper way than ever before.
