PHUKET: A total of 20 members of the Phuket Boutique Accommodation Consortium (BAC) yesterday filed a formal request pleading for the government to extend the amnesty to upgrade their hotels in order to be registered under the Hotels Act.

 

The amnesty, initially brought into effect by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) in 2016 was extended three years ago, and finally expired yesterday (Aug 18).

 

Pachara Luelamai, President of BAC Phuket, and other members submitted their formal request to Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew and Phuket Provincial Administrative Organisation (PPAO, or OrBorJor) President Rewat Areerob at Provincial Hall.
