Thailand is one of the most incredibly beautiful nations in existence and is particularly renowned for her beaches. Tourism is one of the country’s most reputed industries, and many tourists will flock to Thailand with beach-bound paradise, usually the ones involving Koh Samui, on their minds. Despite the island’s popularity, you would not have trouble procuring a Koh Samui beach resort for your stay, since there are many to be found such as the Anantara Bophut Resort.
Koh Samui is famous for her pristine beaches that are enveloped in tropical splendour. It is also the second biggest of the islands in Thailand and has a fairly notable population of just under seventy-thousand. On average, Koh Samui has a resort occupancy rate of 73%, which rises during peak seasons. The island is also very well maintained, and it’s rare for visitors to find rubbish on the roadsides or on the beach sands.
Speaking of beach sands, Thailand is facing a nation-wide issue due to rampant cases of sand erosion. According to Thai authorities, such as the Transport Department, there isn’t nearly enough being done to resolve this matter. Ormsin Chivapruck, the Deputy Transport Minister, explained that considering the rate of erosion, Thailand could lose her most beautiful beaches within ten years if nothing has been done to rectify this.
Certain efforts are already underway, in areas such as Pattaya where there are particularly eroded beaches. The consequences of sand erosion are now easily witnessed by the population at large since many beaches that had sand-backs stretching for distances such as 35 metres have been reduced to an astonishing two or three metres in length.
If you wish to discover the beauty of Thai beaches, your window might be fast closing, so it is best to utilise your earliest opportunity to explore these renowned landscapes.
