Pattaya’s Hard Rock Hotel celebrated the 42nd anniversary of the opening of the first-ever Hard Rock Café in London by planting trees in Sattahip and providing lunch to students in Huay Yai.
Managers and employees of the beachfront hotel traveled June 14 to the Khao Chi-On non-hunting area in Sattahip to plant 100 hairy-leafed apitong, padauk, Siamese rosewood and bullet wood trees. Under a scorching sun, everyone joined in digging holes and planting saplings to uphold the Hard Rock’s corporate motto of “Save the Planet.”

Hunting area director Thitikorn Kittinanda said the park was founded by HM the King and “it is all of our responsibility to care for it. Due to sandy and arid soil and the low level of precipitation, the trees cannot grow well and it needs our help to keep its ecosystem sustainable.”
The hotel plans to return to the park periodically to check the growth of the saplings and the conditions of this piece of land for three years.
