Offenbar geht es darum, dass die "Modeprinzessin" Sirivannari die Neujahrsfeiertage zwischen Phuket und Krabi verbracht hatte und wegen der umfangreichen Sicherheitsmassnahmen und weitläufigen Absperrungen den Touristenmassen in der Höchstsaison der Zugang zu etlichen Tourzielen und -attraktionen, hauptsächlich in der Phangnga Bucht verwehrt blieb.
Der Hashtag #ปิดเกาะ (Island closed) war daraufhin die Nummer 1 in Thai Twitter an Neujahr.

BANGKOK — Twitter is up in flame on Thursday following a decision to shut down tourist islands in the south over the New Year holidays to provide security for a group of high-profile visitors.
The hashtag #IslandsShutDown appears to be trending on Thai Twitterverse by Thursday afternoon, where many users criticize the local authorities for causing disruption to the public. One of the trip delegates later acknowledged the criticism and apologized for the inconvenience.
National park and marine officials closed off the islands of Bi Da, Pan Yi, and He from holidaymakers on Dec. 29, Dec 31, and Jan. 1, respectively, according to internal memos sent to government agencies in Krabi, Phang Nga, and Phuket provinces.
The memos said Princess Sirivannavari was traveling to the islands on a private visit. Local officials were instructed to prevent fishermen and divers from entering the area due to security
concerns.
After backlash made its rounds on social media, a celebrity who accompanied Princess Sirivannavari on her trip said she wasn’t aware of the protocols adopted by security officers who guarded those attractions.
Writing on her Instagram account, ML Songlak Svasti also apologized for the inconvenience, and said she was willing to listen to feedback from the public.
“Our group is not being idle about this issue, and we sincerely acknowledge the criticism you have written,” Songlak wrote in reply to one of the critics.
