In a public statement, the foundation also raised concerns about the project's cost-effectiveness.

The opposition stems from a recent decision by the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP), which approved an extension of up to two years for further feasibility studies and environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the project.

The Designated Areas for Sustainable Tourism Administration (Dasta) has been tasked with developing the project design, which also includes conducting an EIA and a project feasibility study at a cost of 25.7 million baht.
