Samui  - “Bangkok Airways Samui Half Marathon” was organized to promote Samui tourism and to ensure that participants recognize the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

 

The event was divided into 3 categories, fun run of 5 kilometers, mini marathon of 10 kilometers and half marathon of 21 kilometers.

 

All runners had an opportunity to enjoy beautiful beach scenery of Koh Samui and experience the unique lifestyle of the fisherman’s village on the island with Bangkok Airways’ signature boutique touch that features on running shirts, medals and trophies which were designed by stupidnoobmacc, the renowned Thai illustrator behind “BabyBoy” character using iconic symbols of Koh Samui to integrate into the design.

 

One of the highlights in this program is “Care the Bear: Change the Climate Change” which is a partnership project between Bangkok Airways and The Stock Exchange of Thailand.

 

The campaign aims to reduce carbon emission from organizing events which Bangkok Airways put the initiative forward at Samui Half Marathon by involving 100 youth volunteers at the event to assist in waste segregation, reduce the use of plastic and foam and promote the re-use of event decorations.
