Koh Tachai is part of Thailand’s Similan National Park and its closure is part of a wider plan for resource management in the Andaman Sea The island was recently rated as Thailand’s most beautiful island.
Just a short speedboat ride from the Thai mainland, Koh Tachai is renowned for its white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters.

Responsible ecotourism programs include those that minimize the negative aspects of conventional tourism on the environment and enhance the cultural integrity of local people. Therefore, in addition to evaluating environmental and cultural factors, an integral part of ecotourism is the promotion of recycling, energy efficiency, water conservation, and creation of economic opportunities for local communities. For these reasons, ecotourism often appeals to advocates of environmental and social responsibility. Koh Tachai is preserved as a primitive zone, not a tourist site
