#619_2022年9月14日のニュース
In Thailand, the Supreme Court has ordered the government to restore the natural environment of a southern resort island used to shoot the 2000 hit film “The Beach,” with Leonardo DiCaprio.
The shooting took place in Maya Bay in the Phi Phi Islands. Local authorities filed a lawsuit in 1999 against the government, 20th Century Fox, and a Thai film coordinator.
In a ruling on Tuesday, it ordered the government to repair the damage that had been done. 20th Century Fox must also pay 10 million baht, or about 273,000 dollars, in restoration costs.
