Since 1984 the PATA Foundation has contributed to the conservation of the environment and cultural heritage over 40 countries across Asia Pacific. The foundation is the Corporate Social Responsibility entity of the Pacific Asia Travel Association, the region's travel and tourism industry leader.

By encouraging the entire spectrum of the travel and tourism industry to reinvest in Asia Pacific destinations, the PATA Foundation is at the forefront of sustainable tourism development in our region. It is working to ensure future generations can enjoy the rich diversity of the environment and cultural heritage that make Asia Pacific the most compelling travel and tourism destination on the planet.

The construction of the Pang Soong main nature trail was made possible by grant funding from the PATA Foundation, who found the VWB development model innovative, and beneficial to the local community in particular.

The Giving Trust seeks to bring hope and enablement, in a way that is socially and environmentally responsible, to those who are often forgotten. Our mission is to bring an awareness of the needy to those with a desire and the ability to help.

HQ PaperMaker™ is a leading specialist paper producer based in northern Thailand. We employ age-old traditional techniques for handmade production. Our production capabilities are very versatile and we are able to cater for practically any speciality paper needs that you have. Our approach to paper production is constant innovation.

Most important, we are sensitive to environmental concerns and take care to manage production in a way that minimises negative impact on the environment. For example our mulberry paper is made from the branches of the trees which grow again very rapidly. We do not cut trees down to make any of our paper. We have also developed ranges of recycled and non-wood based papers from abundant local organic materials.

HQ Group was established in England in 1990 as the first importer and distributor of handmade mulberry paper and products from Thailand. After four years of valuable experience in import and distribution, in 1994

HQ Group Co., Ltd. was registered in Thailand to further develop handmade paper production facilities. HQ Group owns a model handmade paper factory employing highly skilled craftspeople who use traditional tools and production methods for papermaking and pollution free recycled waste water disposal systems.

We have 17 years of experience in creating and selling specialty paper and so you can trust us to know exactly how to cater for your needs.

HQ PaperMaker's raison d'etre is to provide a high standard of professionalism in everything that we do - from quality production through packaging, shipping and all aspects of customer service.

In 1999 we registered HQ PaperMaker as our trademark to symbolise our ongoing commitment to the innovative development and production of the highest quality papers combined with excellence in customer service.

HQ paperMaker remains the only registered brand of decorative paper in Thailand. We are promoted on the Select List of the Thai Government Department of Export Promotion.
