点评:FILTHY!! The rubbish is so piled up behind bamboo fences that it’s embarrassing to call this a ‘place of beauty’ anymore! We first visited here in 2018 and it was absolutely beautiful, a picture perfect tropical destination with clean, pristine sandy beaches and sea. When we visited this year, we couldn’t wait to leave…..the amount of cockroaches we saw in the evenings were sickening. Despite each tourist having to pay a mandatory ‘fee’ on arrival to Phi Phi Island for ‘cleaning purposes from tourism’, I can confirm that there was certainly no cleaning done in the 4 days we were there!! Instead, all rubbish is bagged up and dumped in remote areas of the island, sadly most are near beaches. If you peek through the bamboo fences you will see mountains of broken rubbish bags rotting away and the smell is something I can’t begin to describe!
The beaches are dirty to the point where other tourists were asking advice of what beaches are clean enough to swim in, especially with children. The sea itself has scum on top in some of the bigger beaches.
The rubbish problem is more apparent when on a boat trip or tour around the island and to neighbouring beaches…….where the tides hit the rocks there are so many plastic bottles and other rubbish that we wouldn’t even swim. Taking photos of swimming with rubbish isn’t our idea of a beauty destination, and I wouldn’t swim in the sea this year seeing how polluted it was. There are more ‘party/drinking bars’ open now for those less interested in nature and those more interested in partying and drinking. This is definitely the WRONG direction the island is heading for.
What a sad sad state of neglect this beautiful location has become…….the outcome of over tourism and commercialism over natural beauty. We’re so so fortunate to have seen Phi Phi at it’s full natural beauty in 2018 as we certainly never want to return.
翻译:太脏了!!竹篱笆后面堆满了垃圾,再称这里为‘美丽的地方’都不好意思了!我们第一次来这里是在 2018 年,那里非常美丽,是一个风景如画的热带目的地,有干净、纯净的沙滩和大海。今年我们来的时候,迫不及待地想离开……晚上看到的蟑螂多得令人作呕。尽管每位游客在抵达皮皮岛时都必须支付强制性的“费用”以用于“旅游清洁”,但我可以肯定,我们在那里的 4 天里肯定没有进行过任何清洁工作!!相反,所有垃圾都被装袋并倾倒在岛上偏远的地区,可悲的是,大多数垃圾都在海滩附近。如果你透过竹篱笆往里看,你会看到成堆的破垃圾袋腐烂了,那味道我无法形容!
海滩很脏,其他游客都在询问哪些海滩干净到可以游泳,尤其是带着孩子去。在一些较大的海滩上,海水表面有一层浮渣。
在乘船游览或环岛游览以及前往邻近海滩时,垃圾问题更加明显……潮水冲击岩石的地方有太多的塑料瓶和其他垃圾,我们甚至不会去游泳。拍下游泳时有垃圾的照片不符合我们心目中的美丽目的地,看到海水污染如此严重,我今年也不会去游泳了。现在,有更多“派对/饮酒酒吧”开放,供那些对自然不太感兴趣和对派对和饮酒更感兴趣的人使用。这绝对是该岛正在走向的错误方向。
这个美丽的地方变成了多么可悲的被忽视的状态……这是过度旅游和商业化的结果,而忽略了自然美景。我们很幸运能在 2018 年看到皮皮岛最美丽的自然风光,我们绝对不想再回来了。
