Good question, as I spent a bit of time on Phuket during that period I saw what appeared to be a very selective process of demolition and blind eyes turned to some old and new constructions. I believe this process continues. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the 100 Police was a case of safety in numbers, as in such a number is unlikely to be harrassed later by the crooks who set up the beach club. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article didn't say that there were 100 RTP officers involved... "PHUKET: The notorious illegal beach club at Nui Beach in Karon, where tourists for years were extorted entry fees and even threatened with violence, has been torn down by officials for illegally occupying state forest land. More than 100 officers descended on the site..." The article referred to 100 officials/officers, i.e. provincial and local government officers, ISOC officers and RTN security officers who were supported by RTP officers as explained in the link.

I think even 10 years ago there were very minimal facilities there (a small restaurant) and someone to collect an admission charge where the path to the beach ended. There was also a big to-do about them not allowing anyone to arrive at the beach by boat and lay on the sand without paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farang51 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 300 baht for entry or for the transport? I guess they are free to offer transport to anyone willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
