Ko Adang, or Adang Island, in the southern border province of Satun, is set to be developed as a world-class tourism destination, like Langkawi in Malaysia, according to the Southern Border Provinces Administrative Center (SBPAC).

 

The SBPAC held a meeting recently to discuss ways to upgrade and develop tourism in Satun, which is famous for its pristine nature spreading over jungles, mountains, and beaches.

 

SBPAC Deputy Secretary-General Chanathan Saengphum stated that all relevant agencies would work together in pushing for the development of Adang Island into a major tourism destination in this part of the world within the next five years.

I thought Ko Adang lay within the Tarutao National Marine Park, they've already trashed Ko Lipe, the way they're heading the above statement will be past tense soon enough. 

Does it have an airport ?

It is.

 

The water for lipe is taken from Adang.

 

A resort already built many years ago on Adang looking towards lipe. The resort had stopped building and then restarted I think it is complete and actually if my memory serves correctly I saw it on Agoda.

 

The time that it was built it was clearly illegal.

 

I don't see how as this is a national park but this is Thailand.

Not yet!

If Langkawi is their template then an airport would be in their plan.

Got to confess........... one thing the Thais do well is upmarket hotels and resorts.......no doubt constructed by and managed by Germans/Swiss/French/British nationals.....but nevertheless they are good.
