From now on holidaymakers in Thailand can no longer visit two fantastic island groups. The Similan Islands and Surin Islands are only re -open in October -then visitors must pay access to it.
By October 14, nature around the fantastic Similan Islands and Surin Islands in Andamanese should have a break to relax from the tourist rank, the government said in Bangkok. The measure also serves to protect holidaymakers in the rainy season that just started when the sea is often brought.
“Immame the effects of tourism”
“This blocking is an annual measure to maintain the balance of the sea ecosystem, to contain the effects of tourism, to give nature the opportunity to relax and prevent damage caused by bad weather conditions during the monsoon,” said it in a message on Facebook.
Input ticket from October
After the reopening in five months there will be an innovation: visitors will have to buy an electronic entry ticket in the future and deposit their passport number. The e-ticket must be for six marine national parks, including the famous Phi Phi Phi Islands. The exact costs were not yet known.
Popular Excursion Islands
Both island groups, which are especially popular with both day tourists and divers, can be checked by the island of Phuket or the Khao Lak region on the mainland. In the dry season, countless excursion boats for the snow -white beaches with their spectacular granite formations frolicked every day.
“The Beach” also closed
The well -known Maya Bay on the uninhabited island of Phi Phi Leh will also be closed again soon – but only two months from the beginning of August to the end of September. The reason here is that the fragile ecosystem of the bay should recover from the tourist rush.
The white tropical beach, which is framed by striking rocks, became known for the “The Beach” cinema hit. In the film with Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead, the beach is still completely untouched.
