Previous Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park key Sarayuth Tanthien, the father of the Phi Phi Model, passed away on Wednesday.
Sarayuth passed away while collapsing while attending a vegetarian festival in the southern province of Phangnga, according to a post from the Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation ( DNP ) on Facebook.
During his administration from 2015 to 2017, he increased the park’s income.
The plaza used to generate about a million dollars annually, but after he took over, his annual earnings increased to 978 million dollars in his first season as area manager.
Sarayuth is renowned for putting in place the Phi Phi Model, a nationwide garden management plan supported by sea experts and related industries.
The design emphasises clarity and sustainable management while facilitating the island’s healthy healing, including coral reef repair.
In order to welcome more visitors, the garden had the money to purchase 14 police boats and add 200 new anchor buoys.
The previous regional garden had only one inflatable vessel and eight anchor points.
In 2017, the number of tourists ships increased from 90 to about 1,900. In later 2017, Sarayuth requested that he be moved to Ao Phangnga National Park in Phangnga state, where he was born. He had health issues.
He left before the retirement years at the end of next year.
According to Thon Thamrongnawasawat, assistant professor of Kasetsart University’s University of Fisheries, Sarayuth had set a new normal of national area administration that included clarity.
” Sarayuth Tanthien was a legend among Thai marine park chiefs”, he noted.
Kantawan Tanthien Kuljanyavivat, assistant secretary-general of the Democrat Party and a relative of Sarayuth’s, posted on Instagram yesterday that his brain will be kept for a service to be held after the vegetarians event, which ends on Oct 11.
