Changian Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Has anyone else noticed the uncanny similarity between Kai Bae beach and one on a remote Scottish island? No, neither have I. But someone in the National Park office has. This is from the "It's alright, no-one will notice" files. Exhibit A: Signboard in the visitor centre at Klong Plu Waterfall, Koh Chang extolling the virtues of Kai Bae beach Exhibit B: The Harris Hills as seen from the Isle of Berneray, Scotland.

JusMe Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 They're not alone. The Alberta (Canada) government did something very similar in advertising the wonders of the province for tourism. Amongst the other photos was one of a beach and water from somewhere in England, as I vaguely recall. Don't remember the details, but there was quite some embarrassment over it.

klikster Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 This story even made the Scottish newspapers The Scotsman - Hebrides find a new home near Thailand courtesy of tourist board Those folks a bit geo challenged? Tourists to the Koh Chang, a large island in the Pacific Ocean off south west Thailand, are being shown the enticing pictures suggesting they are of Kai Bae beach.
