Our Flight Plan with the Kinnaree: A Triumph for Accessible Thailand

We are thrilled to share a moment of profound pride and purpose: Nutty’s Adventures has received three top honours at the 15th Thailand Tourism Awards 2025, a national recognition that celebrates excellence, innovation, and sustainability in Thai tourism. These accolades mark a milestone in our journey toward a more inclusive future—one where Accessible Thailand is not just a vision, but a lived reality.

 Nutty's Adventures has been awarded not one, but three prestigious honours at the 15th Thailand Tourism Awards 2025:

• 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱
• 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱
• 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱

Our winning entry, “𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀,” was submitted in the category of Inbound Tour Programs for International Visitors. This recognition marks an important milestone in our journey as inclusive tourism pioneers.

This programme has been carefully designed and continuously operated in collaboration with Seable Holidays, a visionary company from the UK that first set us on this road in 2016. Since then, blind and visually impaired travelers have experienced the beauty of Thailand through touch, sound, and scent and leaving with unforgettable memories and deep connections.

Often referred to as the "Oscars of Thai tourism," the Thailand Tourism Awards are organized biennially by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). They honour outstanding operators, destinations, and initiatives that exemplify quality, responsibility, and cultural integrity. Winning entries are evaluated not only for their service excellence but also for their commitment to sustainability, community engagement, and universal accessibility.

To be recognized here is more than a badge of honour—it’s a validation of values. It means that your work uplifts communities, protects heritage, and opens doors for all travellers, regardless of age, ability, or background.

The award’s emblem, the Kinnaree, is a mythical creature from Thai lore—half-human, half-bird—symbolizing grace, wisdom, and benevolence. This year, she flies with us. Not as a distant symbol, but as a living metaphor for inclusive travel: elegant, compassionate, and boundless. For Nutty’s Adventures, the Kinnaree now carries a message we’ve long held close: Travel should be a right, not a privilege.

 Whether you're a wheelchair user exploring ancient ruins, a senior traveler seeking cultural connection, or a family navigating sensory-friendly experiences, Thailand welcomes you.

As we prepare to bring this message to the global stage at
WSAT2025 (World Summit on Accessible Tourism), we invite partners, dreamers, and changemakers to join us. Let’s co-create a future where tourism doesn’t just entertain—it empowers. Where every itinerary is a bridge, every journey a gesture of dignity.

These awards are not the destination. They are the wind beneath our wings.

 Let the Kinnaree guide us forward.
