Welcome to Your Guide for Sustainable Living in Thailand
Join us on our journey to create a more sustainable, eco-friendly, and beautiful Thailand, together!. Whether you are a long-time resident, an expat settling into the city, or a traveler looking to minimize your footprint, The Urban Green Scene is your dedicated resource for navigating the green landscape of the Land of Smiles.
Our Story
The Urban Green Scene website started out in 2008, originally founded as a simple green directory focused on Bangkok, Thailand. Back then, finding truly eco-conscious businesses was a challenge. Since those early days, we have grown and evolved alongside the green scene in Thailand.
We’ve watched the movement grow from a niche interest into a vibrant community of changemakers, and we are proud to have been there to document and support that growth every step of the way.
Cutting Through the Greenwash
In a world where “natural” and “green” are often used as marketing buzzwords, it can be hard to know who to trust. Our mission is simple: to help you cut through the greenwash.
The Urban Green Scene directory is your trusted guide to finding authentic eco-friendly products, businesses, companies, and organizations around town. We meticulously curate our listings to ensure you find the best places to:
- Eat: Farm-to-table restaurants and organic cafes.
- Shop: Zero-waste stores and ethical fashion brands.
- Live: Sustainable housing solutions and energy-saving tips.
- Play: Ecotourism spots and green activities.
We are dedicated to connecting you with green businesses in Thailand that prioritize the planet as much as profit.
