Several areas of Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park will be closed to tourists

Several areas in the Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park of Thailand will be closed to tourists from June 30, after it was discovered that almost all the coral and sea anemone have bleached.

The chief of the national park said that devastating bleaching has been reported in Loh Ba Kao Bay, Viking Cave and Pi Leh Bay, where it has affected almost 100% of the corals and sea anemone, with the situation deteriorating further. However, other areas in the national park remain open to the public.
