To commemorate World Environment Day on 5 June, 17 staff from the luxury boutique hotel, 137 Pillars House, Chiang Mai, have planted 137 trees at Baan Tom Thai Dam.Water shortages and other agricultural challenges from intense deforestation have plagued the area in the past. General Manager of 137 Pillars House Chiang Mai, Anne Arrowsmith, says, “The very existence of 137 Pillars House is a consequence of Thailand’s early timber industry. It is therefore a natural synergy that the present custodians of this special house are involved in restoring and replenishing woodland areas in Northern Thailand. We should all passionately play a part in protecting our environment and the staff at 137 are enthusiastic and pleased to make a small contribution.”
