PHUKET: Three food and drink vendors at Freedom Beach were arrested and handed over to the Karon Police to be prosecuted for encroaching on government land after a high-powered delegation of officails inspected the beach yesterday (Jan 16).

 

Leading the delegation of officials was Phuket Vice Governor Supoj Rotreuang Na Nongkhai, accompanied by Rear-Admiral Warodom Suwaree, who is the Deputy Commander of the Phuket branch of Internal Security Operation Command (ISOC), the political arm of the Thai military.

 

Joining the delegation as enforcement were Royal Thai Navy personnel and officers from the Karon Police, the Land Reform Office, the Royal Forest Department as well as Karon Kamnan Winai Chidchiew.

Were they fitted with Duracell batteries?

 

I suppose they were selling there with permission from the 'owner'. Is his beach club there legal after the warnings issued?

Churchill's famous wartime speech "...we will fight them on the beaches..." is interpreted slightly differently by the Thai military!

I don't think there is a club on Freedom Beach, although there has been a lot of crime (including murder), connected to the land above the beach. Are you thinking of the "connected" owner at Paradise Beach or perhaps the thugs with their clubhouse at Nui Beach?

Don't know what it is, but there is something. Or for sure used to be something, https://www.thephuketnews.com/nui-and-freedom-beach-buildings-to-be-demolished-within-two-months-71558.php. Nui Beach is really busy since 6 months or so, seems their clubhouse is attracting quite a few punters now. Should be demolished of course, see same article.

They should change the name in:

"Not So Freedom Beach"

 

A whole parade of high ranking officials, arresting some food and drinks vendors...

For what? Tourists have to bring their own somtam???
