70% of the illegal businesses on Laypang beach cleared. A few remain

"I believe they are not the real owners but sent from the old ones to occupy the land.”

Cherngtalay’s OrBorTor President, Ma-Ann Samran, visited Laypang Beach yesterday (December 21) with about 30 military officers and local police to follow up on the progress of the demolition of encroached restaurants on Laypang Beach. The team found that 70% of the restaurants have already been removed.

 

After the Supreme Court passed down its judgement on November 1 that the 178 rai of land located on Laypang and Layan Beach is considered to be public beach land, the OrBorTor ordered the 9 restaurants along the foreshore precinct to move out and demolish their buildings. Though the majority have vacated, a few remain on the land signs still claiming they occupy the land.

 

“Our visit today is to check if they have moved out already or not. We found that some of them remain on the land and some are also new people attempting to run businesses on public land. We need to crackdown on these remaining cases for which we will look into the law to see what we can do,” said Ma-Ann.

Just had a look around there. I don't know how Samran calculated 70% as it looks like maybe 20% at most cleared since 2 months ago.
