Krabi – Central Pattana Public Company Limited, Thailand’s leading real estate developer for sustainability, operating under the vision “Imagining Better Futures for All,” is developing Central Krabi, the province’s first and most ambitious mixed-use project. This development aims to enhance Krabi’s potential as a world-class destination renowned for its natural beauty while also serving as a key advocate for environmental awareness, particularly addressing the issue of marine waste.
In collaboration with Krabi Province, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (Krabi Office), marine waste management organization OCYCO, and local artists, Central Krabi is introducing an Eco-Art Hoarding initiative. This project features artwork on the construction site’s perimeter fence, depicting endangered marine animals affected by ocean waste. The initiative seeks to raise awareness and promote Sustainable & Mindful Tourism, reinforcing Central Pattana’s commitment to environmental stewardship alongside Krabi Province.
The project will repurpose 3,500 pieces of marine waste into art, creating an impactful Eco-Art installation along the site’s fencing. This artwork will incorporate over 360 kilograms of ocean waste, including PET bottles, HDPE, PP plastics, bottle caps, plastic bags, ropes, and discarded fishing nets. These materials will be crafted into depictions of endangered marine species native to Krabi’s waters, such as Bryde’s whales, whale sharks, and leatherback sea turtles. Emphasizing the concept “For a Better Sea, For a Better Life,” all plastic waste used in the artwork will remain unpainted, with pieces selected based on their natural colors to facilitate easier upcycling after the project’s completion.
Central Krabi is set to launch in October 2025, with a strong commitment to sustainability. The development aims to minimize its ‘carbon footprint’ from the construction phase and is striving to become the ‘first project in Krabi to achieve EDGE Certification’, marking a new milestone in global environmental standards.
