The Department of National Parks (DNP) has announced that the Similan Islands in Phang Nga will be temporary closed from May 16 for five months.

Today (May 4) there are still many tourists, both Thai and foreigners especially Chinese, at the Similan Islands. Most tourists want to enjoy the beach before the island will be closed in a few weeks.

The Head of Mu Ko Similan National Park Ruamsin Manajongprasert says, “The DNP is preparing to close many marine national parks along the Andaman coast. During this period nature can recover itself and have a break from the onslaught of tourism.”
