Renovating Properties

We only use already developed land and renovate existing buildings.

No Deforestation

Our approach protects the natural beauty of Koh Phangan.

Fair Collaboration

We work fairly with local craftsmen and tailors, directly involving them in the company’s success through profit-sharing.

Welcome to cai tan ya

…where we seamlessly blend sustainability with contemporary design. Our goal is to renovate existing properties on Koh Phangan using at least 70% sustainable materials such as hemp, bamboo, and recycled building materials. We use eco-friendly paints and fabric decors to create stylish and environmentally conscious living spaces.
