PHUKET:-- The Phuket Provincial Court has once again dismissed another land right case filed against a Phuket sea gypsy in Rawai, upholding his right to occupy land in sea gypsy village at the southern end of Phuket.

 

Speaking in front of Phuket Court yesterday (Nov 17), lawyer Pasit Thavornlamlert and the defendant Boonlert Maneewong explained that the court had ruled against a claim filed by the plaintiff Boonsri Tantiwattanawanlop.

 

“We won the case because of evidence provided by the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), which included the list of students who have attended Wat Sawang Arom School, showing the names of sea gypsy children who have been enrolled in classes there,” Mr Pasit explained.
