Philippine President Duterte had to close the famous beach resort because of inadequate waste management It was only opened when it was cleaned up I think the number of tourists should be limited at a given time Tourists felt robbed and cheated when the experience of clean beautiful scenery is nowhere to be found but replaced by foul smelling garbage and overpopulated tourists

I visited Thailand back in 2019 (I'm from the US) I was fresh out of Uni I stayed in hostels in Bangkok and Phuket by Patong Beach I have to admit, it was one of the most fun times in my life However, the beaches and downtown Bangkok were filled with trash And certain areas had a putrid scent (probably from all the waste) I wish I was able to experience it earlier when it was cleaner (like how you wished you bought a house at 7 years old lol)

Comment from : Laura Splicer

Thank you for a very important and environment-conscious docobrAs I'll be going to Phuket soon, I'll now know what not to do, where not to go, what not to ConsumebrWe in New Zealand value conservation the most at every site for tourism brThailand has Got to learn to protect its natural resources brOr, its mot is it the environment and the ecosystem, people and the economy are the ones that are going to suffer for sure
Comment from : Emmanation

The opperators should explain not to touch anything while there They need to explain this It is the fault of the tour operators This is their fault

tourism: both a blessing and a curse
Comment from : Anakin Skywalker

Tourism and mobilities makes use of plastic disposible in excess So if possible disposable plastic may be minimized Limiting ourselves is only solution

Kapitalismus ist wie eine Sucht, die versklavt Gesselschaft Ganz anders, die Natur fuktioniert karglich in Gleichgewicht Neue Ekonomie die Grundlage in Gleichgewicht hatt wo Mehrheit durch online Wahlen entscheidet, kann unseres Verdorben ablenken
Comment from : stanohps

The cause of the garbage problem in Thailand is the lack of government oversight, corruption, planning, trash pick up( on the islands, there’s not adequate govt garbage collection), too many tourists, no accountability, lack of recycling facilities and lack of sewage and water treatment systems After the tsunami, the Thai government promised to rebuild responsibly and in an environmentally sustainable way The opposite happened

We need info on the thumbnail guy!!

I mean you can't really be so mad at the fisherman They are just trying to make a living too

Tying coral artificial structures with plastic zip ties?? Huh? From an environmental org?
Comment from : ben hogan

This tropical paradise must live n thrive for the sake of the effect it could have on the environment even in other neighboring countries
Comment from : Bharat Singh

its fixable
Comment from : John Svejda

I was there just before the Tsunami, and after a boat trip on a long tail boat I watched them drive out and "deposit" our two bags of trash in the drift We made it very clear that we did not want the thrash to go out to sea

11:25 interesting method to wear life jackets
Comment from : knombey

I had planned to visit Thailand again but after watching this documentary, I am beginning to change my mind
Comment from : African Mermaid 🧜‍♀️

Would a tourist tax help? A tax added to their diving/snorkeling trips that the companies must turn over to the local government for high-volume site rehabilitation during the off season
Comment from : jillhbaudhaan

Well sadly they need the mass tourism most were dying of hunger during covid lockdowns
Comment from : Je Suis Hulk

Tourists snorkeling and just stepping on coral reefs just like they are stepping on a concrete floor breaks my heart Thai tourism board must do something to regulate this This is so bad
Comment from : Ron Mercado

Stay where you’re, don’t spread your shit around the world!
Comment from : Francisco Concha

This is not only about inadequate waste management It is also a problem of mass tourism Trampling on coral reefs and flying around the world by planetourism itself is the problem
Comment from : DSH DSH

Thailand is actually a continental nation, meaning it has shores like Germany but not islands the best beaches are in an actual island nation like here in the Philippines, but there isnt political stability so tourists stay away
Comment from : jerolvilladolid

Absolutely heart breaking, To see the most toxic product to coral and marine life "Sunscreen" slapped on in the speedboat prior to getting to the dive site The raw sewage discharging into what once was once a pristine environment To see the clamouring hordes of tourists shuttled out stampeding all over the coral The boat anchors tearing up the habitat The discarded nets The plastic, The flotsam, The overfishing of these precious species of coral dwelling marine life to satiate the gluttons in their hordes Thousands of years evolution of the most beautiful and delicate ecosystem destroyed in a few decades For what??? "Most People" are just a cancer on this earth
Comment from : Cazna

This woman is one thick person If you ask someone on Phi Phi Island where the highest point of the island is It's not one of the locations she was saying at all! 😅😅
Comment from : Fergi

Scuba diving rule #1, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING This is unbelievably irresponsible behavior from the tourists The whole practice of that type of tourist activities should be banned The coral reefs must be left alone, unharmed
Comment from : Maria

ever heard of an update? like no tourism, no holiday!
Comment from : Cheese Man

Why not make tourists pay preservation Tax or smth and make incentives for those businesses that care or the nature, and BAN PLASTIC!
Comment from : Lucious

The locals are too embarrassed to talked about human waste problems, sewing pipe, and treatment plants of waste water before drained to the seeAnd it'ain't freeThat's how they does it in the western world
Comment from : chan souvandy

This kind of TOURISM is not SUSTAINABLE, it is becoming GREED of money that is detrimental to the state of the environment, HOPEFULLY, this unacceptable behavior will NOT happen in the Philippines, BETTER for us to receive a FEW tourists rather receive millions that will DESTROY our fragile ecosystem Thailand became the VICTIM of its own SUCCESS, better for the Philippines to IMPLEMENT a QUALITY tourism rather than MASS tourism I will NEVER go there in Thailand, it is so CROWDED and so SCARY
Comment from : Norman Ocampo

thats so sad 😢
Comment from : Anwer Abdallah

I went snorkeling near Phuket more than 10 years ago and the operator told us under no circumstance we should touch the corals at all and I thought that was the smartest thing to protect the corals - why was this not followed ? So sad to see the deteriorating state
Comment from : Lydia T

They biatch and complain about the flood of tourists, but they sure know how to charge $10 for rubber Shoes Whatever
Comment from : kokuz0512

Can you do one one kerala?
Comment from : iam tenrose

same with Indonesia the Indonesian government is very ambitious to print 10 new tourist destinations, or 10 new Bali's the target is to attract 20 million foreign tourists every year In addition to Lake Toba, Borobudur, or Bromo, the Mandalika area is included in the program of "printing 10 New Balis" within four years Even though the Bali tourism ecosystem was not born instantaneously There is a process and adaptation Nor is it conflict free Because selling tourism is not the same as selling cinema tickets There are humans living there
Comment from : Zack Borneo

36:20brAre they being serious!??brTying a junk reef together with PLASTIC CABLE TIES!! Pure idiocy!

😂😂😂😂
Comment from : Frederika Wells

Why do people even go there ? All got to the same places, pollute the enviroment, and make the same pictures to broadcast to the world "I have been here" ! The stupidity of human kind is shattering ! This has got nothing to do with getting to know a foreign country Tourism destroys the destinations it finds !
Comment from : Franz Schermberg

It's not tourists fault Stop blaming tourism It's lack of recycling centres and humongous production of plastic by Thailand which should be stopped or massively reduced You don't want coral destroyed stop snorkeling, you don't want to see plastic bottles start selling glass bottles, stop giving out plastic straws, etc What about the fishermen and their nets?!
Comment from : A M

It's very beautiful with amazing scenery and easy to see how the seas attract divers However the country needs to accept there is a problem and the attitude as shown at 34:15 certainly won't help The tourist income must bring in vast amounts every year so they should spend some on getting the infrastructure sorted out instead of employing tourist "police" to check everyone is only taking pretty photographs The Tsunami Evacuation route and the safety shelter being used to store furniture is an absolute disgrace To add insult further, the disabled elevator has no power and is in a very bad state of repair just rusting away It's almost as though the authorities are sitting around waiting for the next Tsunami I feel sorry for the people who live there who obviously know about these issues, but their voices are ignored
Comment from : Bulletguy07

world is fucked up not only because of this video human will destroy the world, but in the end after very long time wold will recover and I hope and truelly wish that it will do so without human we are to primitive for this planet
Comment from : SuperKanuuna

In 2015 I visited koh samui and I was really not impressed: the mosquitos are INSANE, the sewerage system stinks everywhere and all the pools and beaches have warm water, when one badly needs relief from the awful heat and humidity So dont let ppl tell you its paradise
Comment from : Nina

This is soooo sad, look how beautiful is ours words and we all destroy,,l hope we can do something before is too late🇨🇱🇺🇸
Comment from : Alama

Short mindedness at its best
Comment from : PSB

I have been very positively surprised when diving in Africa, how protective they were about their coral reefs They realised this is our wealth and we have to protect it You are not allowed to touch anything This is the way to go 🙂
Comment from : OneRingToRuleThemAll

Best thing for the environment is to not go
Comment from : captiantim1

Too many tourists specially caucasian are all over the country rich in natural scenery And yea was it enough program, such as emergency evacuation I don’t remember seeing that part Just pure scuba here a complete happiness are being offered to tourists In case of tsunami natural disasters, occurs there’s gonna be a devastating effect To tourists and the locals
Comment from : Lymp Phoma

Where can I find this in German?
Comment from : CJ

a) Should they start giving inductions before going out on these trips? Explain tourists the impact of tourism? How they should behave? b) decrease trips c) cut plastic or replace it for any other biodegradable material?
Comment from : Dora Palma

Bull sharks do attack smfh and they should just closed the areas down clean up, work with the locals to produce merchandise for sales for tourism and develope a economic growth for locals and government
Comment from : Luis Vale

good luck finding a trashcan on phuket in a public area no surprise so much trash is landing in the sea
Comment from : abc

Capitalism destroys everything, who knew!
Comment from : BotanyDegree2012 Pilkerton

Manuel Moraleda said it already Limits should be placed on Tourism
Comment from : Don P

Apparently they desire the $$$$$$ more than protecting these precious areas!
Comment from : Karla Simmet

There are a lot of lonely ladyboys right about now in Thailand
Comment from : Seamus Mcfitz

The Thai government does nothing about it because they want the money from tourism for their tax and spend dependency
Comment from : Morgan McCarthur

Tragic
Comment from : Elizabeth Randell Swart

Humanity, the destruction of the nature
Comment from : Bitter Truth

Tourism tax used to hire guardians of the environment to prevent the pollution by monitoring people and businesses Also used to clean up and educate

Discusting
Comment from : the420god

I went to Koh Samui and Phuket Never again Was hideous Lowest common denominator tourism Koh Samui was a pristine paradise in the 70s and 80s Not anymore More like hell now
Comment from : B Sway

I really don’t understand why tourists are not respectful!!
Comment from : Marjolaine Daudrumez

Easy for rich Germans to judge…brPhuket an island not a town, the largest islandbrIt’s simple- go off the beaten track! It’s only a few spots that ruined, maya bay for example The Thais only have themselves to blame
Comment from : Anglo Browza

Literally was eating while watching this and wanted to throw up It’s such a shame what we are doing to our beautiful earth!
Comment from : Jenny M

Nature took matters in its hands and brought COVID Tourism shut down automatically allowing nature to revive It's just a full circle

Comment from : Alistar

Most tourists have good behaviour when dealing with litter Its the authorities that allow the attractions to high uncoordinated volumes, which proove to be harmfull And once they stop, the locals depending on them loose their livelihoods The system in place is obviously not working Do not blame tourists who came to support their economy Its the goverments fault The tsunami escape route says it all…
Comment from : Ninas

This reportage is bs West is just trying to ruin the tourism in this region of the world
Comment from : Zahir

I love Thailand ❤️❤️
Comment from : Set Zero

Well it's sorted now, they got what they needed !!
Comment from : Sven PB

That's is crazy with international aid (money) the escape route led to a dead end How can one make sense of that?!?! And, you would think after so many people have lost their lives in that tsunami, that the government would make sure they safety routes and plans in place to avoid for many lives lost again
Comment from : Gen So

Expecting tourists to behave when you advertise your nation as "party destination" is stupid Also It is duty of the government to save the natural habitat of Thailand Some places should be off limit to tourist or maybe allowed with some supervision
Comment from : Rajnish Mishra

So its the same as with the cruise industry Dumping thousands of tourists in small destinations but the locals don't profitt because their cruise is all-inclusive and so the cruise companies are the only ones who profit
Comment from : EvilRemnant

Sad Humans are gross
Comment from : Justin Fay

Hardly a balanced review… typical of DW
Comment from : Jacques

Easy solution is to make it paid to visit these locations and have all the money go directly to cleaning them and building better infrastructure, sewage management
