Thailand’s Marine National Parks : why seasonal closures are key to their beauty

Seasonal closures of Thailand’s marine national parks are crucial for protecting marine life and reefs. These parks close from mid-May to mid-October during the monsoon season, allowing ecosystems to recover from stress caused by human activity. By minimizing disturbances, such as noise and traffic, the closures help support breeding and nesting species. Additionally, these periods promote coral regeneration, ensuring a vibrant underwater experience when the parks reopen to divers.
