The Bangkok Tree House is not carbon neutral, we do not pay to offset our carbon footprint as the market in Thailand is still very young - i.e. no independent organization to monitor these carbon offset businesses. Moreover, we do not claim to be carbon neutral in any of our publications and will ask the author to remove the reference so as not to create a misunderstanding. However, we try our best to lessen our impact such as using alternative energy (wind and solar) for our external night lighting, green walls and roofs, the smallest and most efficient A/Cs (9,000 btu), tree planting programs etc. You can read more about our green efforts here: http://www.bangkoktreehouse.com/i-m-green.html No business can be 100% green, but we are doing our best to lessen our impact and make a positive change in our community. If you have any additional questions you can write to me directly at: info@bangkoktreehouse.com Sincerely, Joey Tulyanond Owner, Bangkok Tree House Hi Phil,

You seriously need an education on the subject. What about all the steel and concrete used? The air conditioners? Water heaters? The water-wasting rain-shower heads? Where does the waste water go? What about all the greenery cut down on the building site? Why were you even allowed to build outside the seawall? The vegetation you cut down protects the bank of the Chao Phraya from erosion. Green? Hardly. Collecting one kilo of trash per booking makes you carbon neutral?! You seriously need an education on the subject. What about all the steel and concrete used? The air conditioners?
