Phuket’s Grand Marina cleared of suspected encroachment on mangrove forest

 

 

The Grand Marina in Phuket in which Italian-Thai Development Plc boss Premchai Karnasuta has majority stake does not encroach on mangrove forest, but a part of the marina juts stretch into the sea, said Jatuporn Buruspat, director-general of Marine and Coastal Resources Department, on Saturday (Feb 17).

 

Officials of the department checked the marina which is owned by Ao Po Grand Marina Company in which Mr Premchai has majority stake after it was alleged that the marina might have encroached on mangrove forest.

 

The marina building which houses a restaurant and the car park is located on 30 rai land plot, said Mr Jatuporn, adding that officials of the company claimed there are Nor Sor 3 Kor land certificates for the land plot, but the documents are kept by the management and were not shown to officials of the department.

 Pretty much sums up the situation.

I'm pretty sure the officials have full access to those documents at the land department.

 

Those guys came to my home as well. Asked what kind of land do I have. I showed them the land markings and they seemed to be happy. They probably checked the papers at the district later on.

Certainty is absent but conclusions drawn none the less.  Perhaps the government's records are lost.
