Popular Post Rimmer Posted June 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2019 Government tries again to protect Pattaya Near Islands from ruin PATTAYA:--Scuba divers, sea walkers and restaurant boats may face new restrictions as the government moves to protect Pattaya’s Near Islands. Chonburi Deputy Gov. Wisit Pungpetch chaired a June 13 meeting on a Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment draft announcement that would designate Koh Larn, Koh Sak and Koh Krok as protected environmental areas. The latest draft is the third to be issued in the past nine years with none of them having been implemented. Wisit explained the contents of the draft announcement and said meetings and public hearings eventually will be scheduled. Impacted will be “sea walkers” who use surface-supplied air to walk on the sea bed – and far too often on top of coral reefs – scuba divers, tourist boats and restaurant boats.

natway09 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Start attracting the high end tourist & forget about bums in the bed. That would reduce Chinese numbers by 90%, & many other countries The environment would thank you for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have "hit the Nail on the Head", doing nothing, (not contributing to politicians benevolent funds). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of limiting tourism to the Island, which is far from the reality we find now. The attraction of the place when I first came to Thailand was the stark difference to Pattaya yet close proximity. Thais have a habit of turning any popular destination into a trash heap. Surprised Phuket has survived. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P76 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Was on Koh Larn last month. What a trash heap. It's an absolute disgrace, I will not be returning, that's for sure. We have a saying "don't shit in your own nest" the Thai's seem happy to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
