Authorities at Trang's Had Chao Mai National Park said yesterday that they were thinking of closing Koh Kradan in order to rehabilitate coral reefs that have been severely bleached. Authorities have already closed Koh Chueak to address the bleaching problem, which has affected 80 per cent of the coral in the area.
Director Prapoj Sattaporn said that since Koh Chueak is going to be closed for five years to rehabilitate the coral and tourists had accepted this, authorities might also close down Koh Kradan during the monsoons or the low season in May.
Koh Kradan became famous when it became the site of the world's largest undersea wedding 14 years ago and was recorded in the "Guinness Book of World Records".
