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

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???
