According to a recent article in the Bangkok Post (Parks officials refuse to budge over Similan quota) the government is going to stick to its plan to limit the number of divers allowed to dive in the Similan Islands to 525 per day and the number of non-diver tourists to 3325 for a total of 3850 visitors per day.
Tour operators are required to purchase tickets for their customers and must supply copies of their ID cards or passports.
Anyone know how this will actually work? It seems especially prioblematic for operators who cater to divers who make arrangements months in advance. Will they be able to buy tickets for their customers months in advance?
Ah, well, it's Thailand. Things will work out….
