KRABI– The southern seaside province of Krabi has laid out a plan to restore natural resources and reopen its tourist sites after the end of COVID-19 pandemic.

The provincial administration held a meeting with the private sector, tourism-related organizations and local public agencies on Tuesday.


All marine attractions in Krabi, like all across Thailand, have been closed due to COVID-19 since March.

Krabi Governor Kitibhodi Prawit said the discussion was about the reassessment and rehabilitation of the tourist spots in preparation for the post-COVID-19 tourism environment.

“New disease prevention and safety measures will be imposed when the next tourist season begins later this year”, he said.




In the Gulf of Thailand, a team of divers conducted an inspection at diving sites around Koh Tao Island.  They spotted a large whale shark measured 15 meters in length.

Beaches and marine biological sites in Thailand have been closed to tourists.  There has been no date set for lifting the closures.  Some popular seaside attractions such as those in Pattaya will remain closed, at least, until the end of May. (TNA)
