Thailand’s Similan Islands will also close for the monsoon season.

Stocky Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 During the low season makes sense, and four months is better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfd101 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Ah the irony! Tourism is an industry that, everywhere in the world but particularly in the natural world, destroys its own foundations. Thailand is well down the track. Little symbolic gestures won't help. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
