Sustainability & Community

Raya Heritage’s design team worked closely with local weavers, potters, woodcarvers, and other artisans in small towns and village communities around the north of Thailand, for two years prior to opening. Their work is showcased throughout the resort, with sustainability as a key element of the overall design. The concept behind Raya Heritage stems from Lanna culture’s simple, elegant approach to life and art, and the social value placed on living in balance with nature and the surrounding community. This concept also carries over to Raya Heritage’s dining concept as well, with virtually all ingredients sourced from local, sustainable farms.

Their commitment to giving back to the community stems from the belief that a business is only successful when employees and society benefit alongside shareholders. For this reason, the resort supports a number of charitable organisations, including the Yuvabhadhana Foundation, which offers scholarships for children from families across Thailand; Pan Kan, which resells donated second-hand items to support children’s education; and Food 4 Good, which offers funding towards nutritious meals for children in disadvantaged circumstances.

Weddings & Events

Set against the serene backdrop of the Ping River, Raya Heritage will help you customise the details of your dream day, for a beautiful wedding surrounded by the beauty of the resort’s natural surroundings.
