I have been to Kho Phayam - you have to accept som inconveniences (no air condition for example) - but you get so much from nature, slow traffic,and nice people
Big money makes it all the same - like Pattaya and Phiket - you loose your identitiy

Koh Phayam has become my second home and I love and appreciate it so much the way it has been the past years!!!

I have observed the devastating impact caused by unplanned mass tourism around the world. Sustainable tourism, which allows planned, managed, development in harmony with the environment and which respects the way of life of the indigenous people, should surely be applauded and promoted across our fragile world!

It would be a natural and environmental disaster if Koh Phayam turned to mass tourism.

I am signing because Koh Phayam is a beautiful place, unic and natural and it would be a huge shame if this place would be turned into yet another island with big resorts, 7/11's and mass tourism . Koh Phayam should remain as special as it is, respecting local people as well as local land!

The call it " the last pearl of the andaman sea"...
So, they should know what they have.
Why change and make it to an island like all the others?

Please keep Phayam calm and peaceful as it is. Please no big tourgroups, no party all night, no cars etc.!

Eine wunderschöne, fast noch naturbelassene Insel. Ohne Schnick Schnack, alles einfach aber wunderschön.

I feel strongly about protecting Koh Phayam's natural beauty and preserving it for future generations. The island is very unique in that it hasn't allowed itself to be swallowed up by mass tourism, yet. By protecting it's natural resources and regulating development Phayam can stand out as the star in the Andaman, known for it's natural beauty and sustainable approach to tourism. Such an approach will benefit both the tourists that visit, but also the local communities that call Phayam their home.

I love Koh Phayam and I clearly can see the risk with a overexplonation. Even right now it happened a lot, stop foreigners to invest and let the Thai people earn some money instead of foreigners and big companies. Save the ecosystem, I know from the first time I was on the island that it changes fast.

Payam liegt mir am Herzen. Ich komme schon viele Jahre hierher. Aber die Entwicklung zur Party Insel ist schädlich. Techno passt garnicht.

(Hirschberg, 2019-02-22)

#147

I am signing because Phayam is a beautiful piece of nature that should not succumb to mass tourism. It is most beautiful without hotels, VIP resorts and techno parties by the beach.

I have visited this island for a few times now, first time was in 2009 and many things have changed since then but i think that some certain things shouldnt change. Please protect this island from all this madness that has ruined so many other islands. The nature there is irreplaceable. It should stay that way. This island brings me some of the most beautiful memories when i have been travelling around Thailand and will be always in my heart and i will return to Koh Phayam again to seek for its unique peace and ultimate relaxation. I love it.

I have spent over one year in Thailand during many occasions first travelling through in 1989 and Samui Samet etc were wonderful now I would never return. I am sure Phayam will go the same way as Tonsai has just done but please NO.

(Las Palmas, 2019-04-05)

Phayam is great. And no one wants 711

(Berlin, 2019-04-05)

#185

phayam is probably one of the last islands of Thailand, where mass tourism has not yet won. so of course it should be preserved.
