Closing the 'world's best beach': Koh Kradan, Thailand | Video
Thailand's Koh Kradan saw a flood of visitors after it was named the “world’s best beach” by a UK travel website. Now, it’s officially closed for four months between June and October during the monsoon season to allow nature to recover and rehabilitate. “We don’t want to end up like Phuket or Maya Bay,” one tour operator tells CNA's Jack Board.
