At Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, every day feels like Earth Day. Nestled in the serene Mae Rim valley, the resort has spent 30 years honoring its surroundings by preserving local rice cultivation traditions and maintaining a deep-rooted commitment to sustainability.
“We’ve made restoring nature part of everything we do,” says General Manager Sean Mosher, noting how the resort’s hand-tended rice paddies use traditional, chemical-free farming methods and support the community through annual rice donations.

Guests are invited to experience this ethos firsthand. The Rice Planting activity offers a glimpse into sustainable farming, while this Earth Day also introduces a vegetable planting workshop using in-house fertilizers to promote chemical-free growing.
Health and Wellness Manager Dheeraj Singh Patwal adds a mindful dimension with a Sunrise Yoga and breathwork session, encouraging guests to slow down and reconnect with nature.
Sustainability continues into the kitchen. Executive Chef Alvin Dela Cruz leads the resort’s Zero Carbon Footprint Set Dinner, spotlighting locally sourced, seasonal ingredients — many from the resort’s gardens.
The three-course menu reinforces the benefits of minimizing food miles and supporting regional growers.
Eco-awareness runs deep among the staff, too. Initiatives like no-bin days and mindful consumption are woven into daily life, inspiring both team members and guests to make sustainable choices beyond Earth Day.
