PHUKET: No charges will be pressed against the owner of the 300-metre-long fence that was erected along Bang Tao Beach earlier this week despite the fence being built on state land, MaAnn Samran, Chief of the Cherng Talay Tambon Administration Organisation (OrBorTor) has confirmed.

 

The decision to not press charges was made in light of the fact that the owner had already had the fence removed, as ordered, Mr MaAnn told reporters today (July 31).

 

However, MaAnn declined to identify exactly which person or company had ordered for the fence to be built.

"No charges will be pressed against the owner of the 300-metre-long fence that was erected along Bang Tao Beach...."

 

Is it any wonder that land encroachment is such a huge problem on Govt Land and National Parks when there seems so little punishment for the perpetrators.

There's punishment all right, just not legal consequenses.  The good man in charge in that area makes sure there's punishment of a certain variety.

'Till next time......

 

nice country, right ...  attempt murder is also not murder, right

 

so feel free to try to steal whatever you can, no fee, no fine, no prison time

Let's just say the head of Phuket's police force will not be running out of tea anytime soon.

Another untouchable influential protected species who shall not be named and shamed in public... 

better to go and arrest and harass a few young students who are abiding by the law!

This is not the first time...

 

I would have thought stealing land from the Kings Beach should invoke jail time.

 

Any wonder the big money keeps trying ....

Yes they dismantled the barrier but just dumped the metal sheeting  on the beach....

And this happened under the watchful eye of several officials (see OP's pic).  there really is no hope with these corrupt buffoons.....

Something about biting the hand that feeds him.

The owner took offence and took his fence riveting news ????
