Four islands in Trang province, southern Thailand, will close for four months to offer nature an opportunity to revive itself after a busy vacationer season, particularly Koh Muk, Koh Kradan, Koh Chuek, and Koh Waen. Thailand’s Similan Islands may also shut for the monsoon season.
Yesterday, the Chief of Hat Chao Mai National Park Prit Narasaritkul introduced the short-term stop of tourism activities and in a single day stays in the park from June 1 – September 30, 2023, reviews KhaoSod.
Hat Chao Mai National Park’s famous Emerald Cave, to the west of Koh Muk island, will be closed to tourists for a shorter interval from September 1-30, 2023.
Chief Prit mentioned that the Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation decided to shut the park to vacationers for four months to protect Thailand’s natural resources and tourist points of interest.
The division took into account the safety of vacationers and decided that monsoon season can be an acceptable time to shut the park for the reason that Andaman Coast will experience sturdy winds, heavy rains, and uneven circumstances, stated the chief.
One of the islands to close – Koh Kradan – wants a relaxation greater than ever after tourist arrivals at the island just lately elevated sixfold.
After Koh Kradan was voted the ‘best seaside on earth‘ by the UK website World Beach Guide in March, tourism on the undeveloped island has exploded. Minister of Tourism and Sports Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said…
“After Koh Kradan was ranked the best seashore on earth, the variety of tourists has jumped to 2000 per day, a sixfold improve from the previous average of 300 visitors per day.”
Unlike Because , Koh Kradan has no village or local life. There are only small resorts and one minimart. The island just isn’t designed to handle 1000’s of vacationers..
