Thailand Earns Five-Star Beach Ratings for Sustainable Island Tourism
Thailand’s stunning coastline just got even more impressive. Koh Kradan in Trang province and Bileh Beach on Koh Hong in Krabi have officially earned the coveted 2025 five-star Beach Star rating. This recognition, awarded by the Pollution Control Department, highlights Thailand’s ongoing commitment to Thai islands tourism and the preservation of its breathtaking natural beauty. For visitors seeking pristine beaches paired with responsible tourism practices, these destinations now set the benchmark.
The Beach Star programme has been a cornerstone of Thailand’s environmental assessment programme since 2002. Its mission is simple but powerful: evaluate and improve the environmental quality of beaches that are popular among tourists, ensuring they are managed sustainably for future generations.
