PHUKET:-- Patong Mayor Chalermluck Kebsup has responded to rumours that trees along the Patong beachfront have been cut down because they obscured views of the bay from a nearby resort.

 

Instead, Mayor Chalermluck has explained that the trees were cut down for safety after many of them suffered damage by the recent barrage of storm weather that has slammed the west coast.

 

The buzz began online yesterday morning (Sept 24) when social media posts started accusing Patong Municipality of cutting down the trees for the benefit of a resort near the beachfront.
