Locals within the southern province of Krabi accused a South Korean film crew of sabotaging the natural environment around the Emerald Pool within the Khao Pra-Bang Khram Wildlife Sanctuary after the team put in a stage in the course of the pool.
A female vendor, 23 yr old Kattareeya Meekaew, who has a shop at the entrance of the Emerald Pool, posted footage of the South Korean movie team on Facebook yesterday, January eight.

“Speaking of conscience, this shouldn’t occur in the wildlife sanctuary. Am I right? Only Rangers’ automobiles can enter this area. What occurs here? We need an explanation!”
Kattareeya later gave an interview to the media after the publish went viral. She stated that she was pleased that a foreign film crew chose the Emerald Pool as a location. However, she and different locals were worried that a few of their actions would destroy nature in the area, particularly after they put in a stage proper in the midst of the Emerald Pool.
Locals had been worried that the installation would affect the bottom of the pool and the standard of the water.
Kattareeya added that visitors purchased tickets to benefit from the pool but they had been banned from using it in the morning. She says that many tourists had been disappointed by the decision even when the pool was reopened in the afternoon.
Kattareeya said that the locals wanted the related governmental departments to make clear the scenario and be positive that everything was so as.
Khao Pra-Bang Khram Wildlife Sanctuary’s official Facebook web page later made an announcement to make clear the problem. The wildlife sanctuary reported that the film crew obtained permission to make use of the Emerald Pool as a filming location from January 7 to 9.
The official didn’t ban visitors from coming into the spot that day. They explained that the signal on the entrance, which says, “We apologise for the inconvenience, filming is in progress,” didn’t mean to shut the pool but aimed to tell the tourists.
The authorities of the wildlife sanctuary didn’t mention whether the stage installation affected the underside of the pool and water high quality but they confirmed that the staff knew the foundations and followed them strictly.
Thairath reported that the manufacturing staff from South Korea have been engaged on a skincare product video.
Thai netizens disagreed with the wildlife sanctuary authorities. They said the stage installation clearly destroyed the Emerald Pool’s bottom. Many netizens said the authorities should think more about the worth of public property.
