The popular local opinion, shared amongst most is that the bay should not re-open anytime soon; and definitely not under the same unregulated circumstances.

While many arecaceae are notable for their impres­sive height, characterised by a solitary, unbranched stem surmounted by a crown of fronds, and often producing massive seeds – the coco de mer has seed pods weighing up to 30 kilograms – oth­er palms are neat and shrub-like, often denizens of the understory and able to survive with limited access to sunlight.

Sunday 11 August 2019, 10:00AM
When talking about wild animal welfare in Thailand, elephants are often the first animal that comes to mind. In Phuket, this year has seen officials investigate concerns about a number of baby elephants working across Phuket, one of which, three-year-old Jumbo, died despite an international campaign calling for him to be taken out of Phuket Zoo and into care for better protection.
