ENLIVE FOUNDATION:

Rayavadee is also a founding member of the Enlive Foundation, which was started to address the issues threatening the well-being of the eco-system of the peninsula including wastewater management, rubbish disposal, noise pollution and reef degradation, The organization brings together local businesses, community members and government figures to work towards finding solutions to these growing challenges.

In 2012, Enlive held its first annual Krabi EnLive Sea Kayak Thailand Championship with the cooperation of the Rowing and Canoeing Association of Thailand with rowers from around Southeast Asia joining the event. Each year, there is also a sea turtle and marine life release event that accompanies the races to cultivate conservation awareness. In 2014, with the support of the Thai Navy, Enlive Foundation launched their ‘Underwater Learning Park’ project by sinking 4 decommissioned navy warships off the coast of Phranang Beach to encourage the return of healthy marine life and as a stand-in for the threatened natural reefs of the area. Two years later, the newborn artificial reefs are thriving with a diverse range of fish inhabiting the shelter it provides them with.
