                <media:description>KO PHI PHI, THAILAND - 2013/04/12: The beach in front of Zeavola Resort on Ko Phi Phi Don, the largest island of the Phi Phi group. Made famous year 2000 film, The Beach, Ko Phi Phi was touted as one of the most beautiful islands in the world, development came swiftly and abundantly and tourists followed. Most overdevelopment got washed away when a six meter wave from the 2004 Asian tsunami thundered across Phi Phi Don killing several thousand people. It has now returned to Phi Phi Don, as have the problems associated with it. One resort trying to tackle the problem is Zeavola on Laem Tong Beach, at the islands less developed northern tip. Touting their property as a luxury eco dive resort, Zeavola has joined with the Phuket Marine Biology Centre to initiate a rubbish collection campaign, cleaning up the beaches and reefs. They also donate money and manpower to regenerate reefs damaged by increase in water temperatures caused by El Nino and poor diving and snorkelling practices in the area and provide school lunches and reef regeneration projects to the children from the gypsy village of Chao Ley.
