Roel Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Actually business owners and tuktuk drivers "do anything they like", but the Governor and Karon Municipality do what the real people in power tell them to do or in this case not to do.

madmitch Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Remember the lady that had the Russian ladies arrested for possessing coral and shells? It's the same person that's had this barrier put in place. She's a trained lawyer apparently and this makes people a bit scared of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
