BANGKOK — Tourists are not allowed to stay overnight on the Similan Islands from Tuesday on, the conservation department announced.

 

The announcement, published on the Royal Gazette on Monday, said overnight visits increase water pollution that damages the islands’ ecology – especially corals and aquatic animals. The rule will apply to both liveaboard boats and inland accommodations.

"They" are everywhere :dry:

They will trample down the whole country if no one steps on the brake.

I agree but why not offer some islands for them where they can trample what they want?

 

Just some newly built islands like Singapore did with Sentosa Island. If they do it right it can be the new golden goose.

They are building their own Islands, send them there.
