Dick Sandler

Phuket, Thailand

Dick Sandler started the very first eco-resort in Thailand in 1972, before the term existed. This was a farm on the River Kwai. Since then he has fathered several other eco-lodges in Thailand, the last of which is Our Jungle House, a tree-house resort at Khao Sok in a private rainforest in South Thailand - www.khaosokaccommodation.
