Thai bay made famous in 'The Beach' shut indefinitely

Where will the lemmings go next to leach the life out of nature while they fill their phones with selfish selfies?

Sometimes the mindlessness of people who profess to travel for the sake of seeing nature in her grandest eloquence baffle logic.

Let this be a lesson to all to keep places clean for others to enjoy for future generations.

Maybe Decaprio can do a shipwreck/survivor movie about being marooned on one those plastic islands floating around the pacific. Then all the shallow ones can go there next.

Kudos to Thailand for having the guts to take the long view over capitulating to the tour operators.

Good, hope this is a wake-up a call.

Corsicans have always had a more 'radical' solution to protect their beautiful island: blow-up all new holiday homes & hotels under construction. Developers now think twice before they invest in new projects.

Great jobs Thailand!

Perhaps Japan could help prevent the erosion by suppying concrete tetrapods.

Actually, I hope not. Most of the Japanese coastline has already been destroyed. Thailand seems to be taking a much more sensible approach.

Way to kill a natural atmosphere by putting concrete tetrapods everywhere!

Same thing is happening in Kyoto in an urban environment.

I have always HATED going anywhere that's got too many people, always ends up wrecking places!
