Krabi officials continue crackdown on illegal hotels and tour operators on Koh Phi Phi

By Kritsada Mueanhawong

 

 

The crackdowns continue on Koh Phi Phi as Krabi officials focus on the popular tourist magnet island. Yesterday (June 7) further inspections on Koh Phi Phi Don uncovered plenty more illegal hotels as well as illegal diving operations.

 

One hotel, still under construction, was found on land with more than a 35 degrees slope this week. The hotel owner was invited to present land documents to land officers. Officials suspect the project is being constructed on encroached reserve forest.

 

Other seven hotels were found adapting non-compliant buildings and operating them as illegal hotels with guests not being reported to Immigration within 24 hours of checking in.

I am curious of the fake licenses and if some corrupt city officials are involved.

  Why have so many places been open illegally for so long?

Tell us in 6 months if any of the illegal hotels were closed and hopefully demolished. I suspect it will be business as usual. Lets not forget that most if not all the buildings were constructed from scratch after the tsunami.
