george Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 'Five-star' beaches named Adang Island Beach in Satun, Phi Phi Island's Long Beach and Bilae Beach on Krabi's Hong Island are the recipients of the government's first "Five-star Tourist Beach" titles, a senior official said yesterday. The acting director-general of the Pollution Control Department (PCD), Monthip Srirattana Tabuganon, said the PCD has conducted an annual assessment of beach quality for four years now and most beaches received between three and four-and-a-half stars. One hundred and five beaches - 31 beaches from Trat to Chon Buri, 38 along the Gulf of Thailand and 36 on the Andaman coast - were given between three and four-and-a-half stars, she said. Regular four-star winners include Sai Kaew Beach on Rayong's Samet Island, Prachuap Khiri Khan's Hua Hin Beach, and Chaweng Beach on Surat Thani's Samui Island, while Chon Buri's Bang Saen Beach was elevated to three-and-a-half stars due to local authorities' improvement of the environment there. -- The Nation 2006-11-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dash Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I can not read the article in "The Nation" because I have a grey rectangle over the page and with the search function I get no result for Adang. I would like to know if it is really the beach in Tarutao National park on Ko Adang opposite to Ko Lipe and if so, what are the terms for a five star beach ?

ding Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Thanks for this post. I get a little nervous when LOS more closely mimicks western standards of tourism. I hope Thailand doesn't turn into the Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Cancun, or Hawaii. But glad to see that the environment and pollution control are being elevated into the public awareness. So it's sweet and sour I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
