Samui is one of Thailand’s top tourist destinations, and the islands around it such as Kho Tao and Kho Phangan are valued for their coral reefs. Communities in the province are protesting a planned offshore drilling project just five kilometers from Samui Island. Greenpeace has joined the protest in solidarity with community movements and is calling on the Government of Thailand to abandon its fossil-fuel driven development plans and immediately adopt measures to safeguard marine biodiversity in the Gulf of Thailand and the livelihoods of its coastal communitiesLocations:Ko Samui-Southeast Asia-ThailandDate:26 Sep, 2010Credit:© Athit Perawongmetha / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3000px X 2000pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Banners-Boats-Chevron Corporation-Climate (campaign title)-Day-Fishers-KWCI (GPI)-Men-MY Rainbow Warrior II-Oceans (campaign title)-Oil drilling-One person-Outdoors-Props-SeasShoot:Thailand Leg of SEA's 'Turn the Tide' TourGreenpeace launches the “Turn the Tide – Rainbow Warrior’s Tour”, a two-and-a-half month voyage across Southeast Asia to promote a green and peaceful future.
