webfact Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Four Trang islands closed four months By The Nation FILE photo//Google maps Four Trang islands have been closed to tourists for four months to allow time for their ecosystems to rehabilitate. The Haad Chao Mai National Park says Koh Mook, Koh Kradan, Koh Waen and Koh Chuak were shut on June 1 and would remain closed until September 30. The park said June to September was the period when the islands would be hit by a strong southwest monsoon so it was not suitable for tourists to go out to the sea anyway and was therefore a good time to give time for the islands’ ecosystems to rehabilitate. Tourism operators have been advised since last year of the plan to close the four islands during the monsoon season and park officials will patrol the islands to prevent any breaches of the closure.

nakhonandy Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Slowly the Thai authorities seem to be taking the environmental issues a bit more seriously. About time really, but it's a positive start. Well done. Hopefully they will take in to consideration other islands too, many have serious issues with tourism. Next, tackle the litter problem to stop allbthe rubbish getting into the ocean in the first place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
