Living Our Values

Nestled within the pristine landscapes of Khao Sok National Park, 360° Issara Floating Resort is more than just a peaceful escape—it’s a conscious effort to live gently on the Earth. Every detail of the resort is designed with sustainability in mind, blending the wisdom of nature with years of experience in eco-hospitality.

 

Backed by over a decade of hands-on experience in running the award-winning 500Rai Floating Resort, we’ve learned what truly works—from protecting delicate ecosystems to supporting local communities in meaningful ways. 360° Issara is a new chapter built on those lessons, with thoughtful design, practical operations, and a clear mission: to offer unforgettable experiences while preserving the natural world and empowering the people who call it home.

Supporting Local Communities

We believe that true sustainability must uplift the people who share and care for this land.

 

Local Employment:

We prioritize hiring staff from nearby villages, offering stable, meaningful jobs that support local families. Our team includes both skilled locals and passionate young people, creating a space for talent to grow and stay within the community.

 

Spreading Income to the Community:

By welcoming respectful, nature-loving travelers, we help bring direct income to the local area—supporting guides, boat drivers, food producers, artisans, and small businesses. This helps strengthen the local economy and inspires the next generation to see value and opportunity in their hometown.

 

Creating Pride in Local Resources: We aim to inspire pride in the rich natural and cultural heritage of the region. When local people feel proud of their environment and way of life, conservation becomes more than a duty—it becomes a shared passion. We believe that strong communities are the foundation of true environmental protection.

 

Conservation & Wildlife Protection

 

Surrounded by the biodiversity of Khao Sok National Park, we take our role as stewards of nature seriously.

 

Wildlife Partnerships: We collaborate with conservation groups to monitor and protect native species and preserve wildlife corridors near the resort.

 

Eco-Education through Experience: Guests are encouraged to join guided nature walks, sunset wildlife safaris, and cave treks—designed to foster appreciation and respect for the rich ecosystem we’re part of.

 

Sustainable Tourism Practices: With small-scale, low-impact activities and a conscious guest capacity, we aim to leave nature undisturbed and deeply honored.

 

 

 

Our Environmental Promise

 

Zero-Impact Architecture


Our floating resort is carefully designed to blend seamlessly with the natural beauty of its surroundings. By using eco-conscious building methods and locally sourced materials, our villas sit lightly on the water, preserving the lake's clarity and serenity. No heavy foundations, no disruptive infrastructure just thoughtful architecture that respects the land and water.

 

Wastewater Management


We’ve invested in on-site purification systems that treat wastewater efficiently and safely. These innovative solutions ensure that all water used at the resort is processed in a way that protects the environment keeping the lake clean and the ecosystem balanced.

To further minimize wastewater, we do not operate any laundry facilities at the floating resort. All linens and clothing are transported back to the mainland for cleaning, where proper water treatment systems are in place ensuring no discharge into the lake.

 

Garbage Management

 

Waste reduction is a daily habit at 360° Issara. We actively promote the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Organic waste is composted when possible, and recyclable items are sorted and sent to proper facilities. To prevent any environmental impact, we transfer all garbage back to land via a dedicated waste transport system, 2–3 times per week. Nothing is disposed of in the lake or the forest, ensuring the area remains clean, natural, and untouched.

 

Continuous Improvement


Our environmental strategy is never finished. We monitor our impact, listen to our community, and learn from experience—including over 10 years of operating a successful floating resort at 500Rai. What we’ve learned there guides us to go further, do better, and set higher standards at 360° Issara.
