The journey of Mangroversity
Mangroversity
Mangroversity is a living-learning space located on Koh Klang island in Krabi province. This is a gateway to experiencing the wisdom and resilience of Koh Klang through immersive, hands-on experiences where community, conservation, and culture meet: from environmental restoration and sustainable livelihoods to local crafts and cuisine.
We bring people together to learn with the community, not just about it. We also support sustainable income, preserve the environment, and celebrate a way of life that respects nature and nurtures people.
Our vision
A thriving island community where people and nature live in harmony, and visitors become part of a shared journey toward a more sustainable, connected and compassionate world.

Our Story
Since 1998, Koh Klang, Krabi, has embraced eco-tourism as an alternative to mainstream tourism. As one of the pioneering communities under the Krabi Community-Based Tourism Network, Koh Klang—alongside Laem Sak, Tung Yee Peng, and Natin—has become a model for over 20 other communities in the province.
In 2016, Kidtung Cottage homestay was born as part of Koh Klang’s tourism scene—but with a twist. Unlike traditional homestays that mainly welcome visitors through local contacts or government channels, Kidtung Cottage attracted independent travelers (FITs) through bloggers, influencers, and travel TV shows, opening the door to new visitor segments and fresh energy for the community.
Over the years, the island has welcomed a range of visitors—from cultural tourists and conservation groups to CSR projects. But more recently, something new is happening: youth and student volunteers are arriving not just to observe, but to restore and rebuild. This marks a shift from Sustainable Tourism (learning and preserving) to Regenerative Tourism—where visitors actively contribute to healing ecosystems and uplifting communities.
However, many community activities in the past were managed by outsiders, with local people playing only a supporting role. To truly reclaim the narrative and the benefits, Koh Klang launched the initiative:
The Mangrove Classroom is a community-led regenerative tourism initiative that invites visitors to learn through real, hands-on experiences. Set within the rich mangrove ecosystems of Koh Klang, the project connects conservation with community—supporting sustainable livelihoods while offering meaningful ways for travelers to get involved.
From planting mangroves to learning about local biodiversity and sustainable practices, the experience encourages a deeper understanding of how people and nature can thrive together. It’s tourism with purpose—helping protect the environment while creating lasting benefits for the community.
Koh Klang is stepping into a new era—building on 27 years of eco-tourism and community-led hospitality. With regeneration at its heart, the island is ready to lead the way in next-generation tourism, where every visit leaves a place better than before.
