Local Alike

Traveling is one of the best ways to see the world in new perspectives. Local Alike is an alternative tour operator that offers socially responsible tourism that promotes respect to local cultures and traditions. About 70% of the net profits of the tour go to a community fund for various development projects. Local Alike works with local communities and businesses to create the best experiences for everybody.

Local Alike believes that traveling of any kind or the tourism sector as a whole must head towards more collective responsibility and sustainable outlook.

Through Local Alike you get to experience trips that are designed to be enjoyable and authentic for every traveler and local alike. You simply have to try out the amazing food and drinks, adventurous treks, immersive cultures, exciting shows, and so much more that you won’t find with traditional tour companies.

Local Alike matches the customers with local communities and responsible tour operators instead of simply matching them to one tour guide. This is called community-based tourism, a form of tourism that allows local residents to be involved while emphasizing community development.

There are many innovation platforms all over the world. What makes Thailand Social Innovation Platform unique is that we have created a Thai platform fully dedicated to the SDGs, where social innovators in Thailand can access a unique eco system of entrepreneurs, corporations, start-ups, universities, foundations, non-profits, investors, etc. This platform thus seeks to strengthen the social innovation ecosystem in Thailand in order to better be able to achieve the SDGs. Even though a lot of great work within the field of social innovation in Thailand is already happening, the area lacks a central organizing entity that can successfully engage and unify the disparate social innovation initiatives taking place in the country.

This innovation platform guides you through innovative projects in Thailand, which address the SDGs. It furthermore presents how these projects are addressing the SDGs.

Aside from mapping cutting-edge innovation in Thailand, this platform aims to help businesses, entrepreneurs, governments, students, universities, investors and others to connect with new partners, projects and markets to foster more partnerships for the SDGs and a greener and fairer world by 2030.

The ultimate goal of the platform is to create a space for people and businesses in Thailand with an interest in social innovation to visit on a regular basis whether they are looking for inspiration, new partnerships, ideas for school projects, or something else.

We are constantly on the lookout for more outstanding social innovation projects in Thailand. Please help us out and submit your own or your favorite solutions here
