Published
November 17, 2025
Koh Yao, the island that turned a sea crisis into community-based tourism.
Hear the voice of Bang Mee (Samroeng Rakhet), a fourth-generation leader from a fishing family who watched the sea being damaged by commercial boats 20 to 30 years ago and decided to fight back so the marine resources could recover.
From fighting for the sea to using tourism as a tool for conservation, opening homestays for visitors to experience fishing life and setting rules the community agreed on together. This is the story of a man who is determined to keep the simplicity and sincerity of Koh Yao so that his hometown can remain a home for the next generation.
