PHUKET: The building under construction on the coastal road to Krathing Cape, north of Nai Harn Beach, is legal, Rawai Mayor Aroon Solos has confirmed.

 

The news comes as the final touches to the construction of the building are being made.

 

The construction caused an international uproar last year over the structure spoiling one of the best sea views that tourists from around the world come to Phuket to enjoy.

Ironic that this eyesore commenced construction at a time others were being demolished for not being approved by the local authority.

 

Connections and cash.

After peering into his envelope everything was deemed to be OK!

Just like the infamous 'Hollywood Museum' Aroon game the green light for at Nai Harn beach, until the locals and expats demonstrated and it was shut down.

Would have looked better if he had said that, whilst sitting in his office, not while taking delivery of a new Merc.:cheesy:

 

That grotesque, mismatched, overwrought mess of a facade would be an eyesore, worthy of instant demolition, anywhere.

Not a mention of the name of the developer or the land owner (if different). That in itself raises a red flag.

probably still all good, in that you are not prevented from beach walking past it at high tide

 

... until they build a fence down to the low tide mark

You can see here on Google maps how high they tried to build about 1 year ago.

They should have cut at least 1 more floor IMHO.

They will completely waste what was a very nice sea view.

 

Tourists, come here from around the world to see the view!  Absolute rubbish...

 

When the house is finished it will look great....You knockers are way over the top on the adjectives used condemning it...

It might be legal but the question is "Who made it legal"?  Somebody obviously made a decision to allow a building there but, naturally, we will never be allowed to know whose bad decision it was.

i lived in rawai. if it werent for violent racist thai neighbors, corrupt  racist officials and such we would never have moved! f u phuket!!
