hkt83100 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) Whatever - I am happy to have moved away from Phuket. This place is really going down. I remember Laem Singh about 24 years ago as a nice beach, before the road was build and it was a unpaved trail over the hill from Patong. The pictures were taken 1994. After they built the highway Laem Singh was doomed. Edited September 5, 2018 by hkt83100 typo corrected. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamKangMan Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I have said it before, as Pattaya became a city by the sea, Phuket will become an island city. They will eventually build on / develop ever last rai here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schlog Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Just now, phuketrichard said: I doubt that photo was in 94, as i recall its been a real road since i have been here (' 85) Nope. Been here since 1991 and in the first years here it was this unpaved trail from Patong to Kamala. In rainy season it was real adventure drive to Kamala. Imho they built the road in ~ 94/95. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Great place for an up market resort. The geography ensures the beach basically will belong to the hotel. I wonder how much they paid that TV mob for the land. The public will have to boat in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traffic was slow all the way back to Suring this morning with 18 wheelers carrying stuff into there and whatever the new fantasea pro ject is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterion Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 The municipality/province should force developers to include a small & free public access laneway to this beach(and any other cutoff beaches” before granting any building permits. Its now or never. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its now or never. In addition, and this is common sense.... - going forward, all NEW commercial and residential buildings should be made to have functioning liquid waste mgt systems and/or pay a hefty development levy to fund municipal sewage treatment systems in the town they reside at. easy peazy and effective.

Le Méridien didn't surfers had to walk down the hill They should have made le meridien set aside free public laneway access also, but they didnt, and it was a huge mistake, and now its probably too late to change it. The point is, any NEW commerical or residential beach developments should provide public beach access going forward, or NO building permit will be granted. In addition. all new buildings acrosss the island should pay a significant development levy to specifically fund wastewater treatement facilities in those areas.

I believe Club Med were required to put in the beach side road and a walkway through their grounds all those years ago. Greed at the expense of all others became rampant more recently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellred Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Just to clarify does this mean non hotel guests will not be allowed to access the beach? I know they were running some boats from Surin beach before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
