Making Tourism Work For Local Communities

Local Alike is a Thailand-based online platform that provides travelers with unique experiences crafted by local communities that you don’t normally see on standard tourist brochures. We speak to Somsak Boonkam - better known as Pai - about the importance of empowering local communities via tourism, curating authentic experiences, and why it was important to him on a personal level to pursue this venture.
