Kradan Tsunami Escape Route Closed.mov
We were shocked to find the official Tsunami Evacuation Route on Ko Kradan's main beach blocked by a locked gate! This popular tourist destination in Thailand's Trang province has thousands of foreign and Thai visitors every year- were there to be another tsunami this gate closes access to safety for anyone on the beach! The miscreants responsible for this crime against humanity are Anantara Resorts who have built, illegally and without proper permits, a day use facility on Ko Kradan for their guests. The reason given by their (drunk and disorderly and boasting a criminal record) "security guard" for closing the Tsunami Evacuation Route was to keep guests safe- safe from what? There are no Anantara facilities behind the fence, all their guests are on the beach! Furthermore, the route doubles as a LEGAL PUBLIC ROAD. The real reason for this heinous and illegal act is to block their customers from venturing inland and visiting a competing resort that features excellent cuisine- it's all about the money.
