On the 14 August 2007, at 9 AM, at Pattaya city, Mr. Niran Watanasartsathorn, Mayor of Pattaya, chaired a meeting of the Deputy of Pattaya city and section chiefs to discuss a path to develop and solve problems about administration, regulations and the environment.

At the meeting, Mr. Niran stated that Koh Larn (Coral Island) is one of Pattaya’s most valuable tourist attractions. It has attractive beaches and lush scenery which attracts Thais and foreign tourists. Many people come to visit the island each year.

Discussing the concert, which will be on Hard Tien Beach, on Koh Larn, on 18 August, the Mayor said there will be lots of music lovers, both Thais and foreigners, coming to the event. He expressed his concern that such an event promotes tourism in Pattaya, but will also be harmful to the balance of nature and the environment of Koh Larn, which must be preserved. The participants at the meeting reached the consensus that the concert on Koh Larn on 18 August will be the last one.

Any activities on Koh Larn should be formulated to preserve the environment such as: cleaning up trash at the bottom sea and at the shorelines or developing forestry around the Island. These kinds of projects would be permitted to preserve and help the environment, Mr. Niran said.

The structures of the music stage were ready made and to be assembled on Koh Larn. There will be no touch to the natural environment.

The organizer team will provide more garbage bins all around the area for easy and tidy care. Also each food stall has been carefully selected in order to reduce food container and food residue.
