A foreign tourist has posted a video accusing illegal guides of operating on Koh Phangan
A video filmed by a foreign tourist who visited the island has been circulating on social media, including the page สภากาแฟใต้โต๊ะ. According to the author, foreigners are engaging in illegal tourism activities on a large scale, working as guides and performing other roles reserved exclusively for Thai nationals. The author claims that both locals and tourists are aware of the situation, yet the authorities have failed to take action. The post also mentions criticism directed at Minister Anutin Charnvirakul regarding the issue.
The accuracy of these claims has not been verified. There has been no official response to the video so far.
What do you think? Is the situation on Koh Phangan significantly different from other tourist destinations in Thailand?
