For over twenty years, the Royal Project Foundation, initiated by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, has worked tirelessly to improve the livelihoods of remote, Thai highland communities. The Royal Project team has helped villagers to replace opium cultivation with chemical-safe agriculture, such as delicious, cool-climate fruits and vegetables. The Royal Project shops help to bring these products to the market.

The inspired Sirindhon International Environmental Park is located on Phetchkasem road, between Hua Hin and Cha Am, on the way to Mrigadayavan Palace. The park was established in honour of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn on her 48th birthday anniversary in 2005, and aims to  revive local mangrove and beach environments. The park offers a variety of interesting activities, especially suitable for parents with children looking for a learning experience. 

The park is home to over 80 species of rare local and migratory birds, such as the white-throated kingfisher, heron and Malaysian Plover. Highlights include a nature trail exploring the mangroves, hands-on exhibitions on contemporary issues like renewable energy and low-impact housing, and a library full of colourful stories teaching children about nature conservation. 

The park's mission is to share knowledge and increase awareness about energy conservation, natural resources and the environment.
