Clear, emerald green waters and striking limestone weathered cliffs provide a stunningly beautiful view of the Andaman Sea around Krabi, Thailand. Natural beauty surrounds these water where boats ferry visitors from around the globe who come to admire the views and swim among the schools of tropical multicolored fish. The tourism-based economy here provides boatmen, food service workers, and the hospitality sector with a floor for daily income during the peak season of December through March. As with most countries who depend on tourism as an important segment of their GDP, its a juggling act to keep a balance on environmental impacts versus jobs. How well the environmental impact is managed will determine the beauty of this region for future generation.
