Key team members

Track of the Tiger T.R.D operates VWB as their own Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. VWB is therefore ably and enthusiastically supported by a compliment of well-trained Supervisors, Assistants and Administrative staff from Thailand and elsewhere.

Shane K Beary, CEO

The founder, Shane K. Beary, was born in Ireland but raised in Africa. Whilst in Africa he served with 'C' Squadron SAS where he functioned as a combat tracker, later spending a year at the 'Tracking Wing' as a bushcraft & survival instructor. Towards the end of a 7-year military career, he was inducted into a newly formed unit, the 'Selous Scouts', where he worked as a clandestine operative. Leaving the military in 1975 he spent 8 years as an oilfield diver in the heyday of the North Sea development. Most of that time spent as a 'saturation diver' on cutting edge diving projects.
He came to Thailand in 1984, built a teakwood Lodge on the Kok river, right on the Burmese border, and established his tour operation. In addition to providing 'soft adventure tours', he started running adventure incentive programmes, and outdoor education programmes in 1992. The company's 'Special Events Management' and 'Team Building' programmes grew out of that early initiative. VWB was an idea that he developed in response the rapid degradation of the delicate ecosystems and community groups that Thailand tourism depends on.

Sriphan Beary, Managing Director

Khun Sriphan, as Managing Director of Track of the Tiger, oversees all financial and accounting operations and provides input to strategic planning. Having operated the initial Maekok River Lodge and tour operation, then the Maekok River Village Resort, Khun Sriphan is now based at the Head Office in Chiang Mai.

Annop Chaithanee, Assistant Managing Director

Khun Annop is the Assistant Managing Director for Track of the Tiger and has some 15 years experience in the planning, implementation and logistical support operations for Track of the Tiger. He is the “behind the scenes” man who will ensure all events run smoothly for tourists, multinational organisations, volunteers and international schools.
