Koh Chang protests?

This item in today’s Bangkok Post caught my eye:

Koh Chang protest hots up

TRAT : Leaders on Koh Chang will decide today whether to close the tourist island to visitors to pressure the government to solve residents’ long-running land disputes with the navy.

Island residents, led by local leaders and politicians, are threatening to close the island to visitors on Friday unless their demands are met.

The group is calling for the revocation of the navy’s ownership documents for land on the island and the cancellation of Koh Chang’s listing as a national park.

(Emphasis mine.)
