webfact Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 By Goongnang Suksawat Thalang – Restaurants, beach beds, and umbrellas were found by Thaland officials to be encroaching on Lay Phang Beach in Cherng Talay. On Thursday (March 30th) a team of officials led by the Thalang District Chief Bancha Tanuin inspected Lay Phang Beach. Mr. Bancha told the Phuket Express that officials have checked local beaches for encroachment at least once a month. Beaches are considered public land and any sort of private encroachment by business owners is strictly prohibited unless special permission is granted. Officials found beach beds and umbrellas on the beach and the operators have been asked to remove those items from the beach. Although many tourists enjoy these amenities, they lead to a “domino effect” say authorities of many more vendors trying to encroach and therefore as a general rule all private businesses and encroachment is prohibited.

ikke1959 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Public area??? I thought that belongs to the city, so why not give pieces of land for a good rent to the beach bed and umbrella so they can earn a living pay for the permission, and tourist can sit in the shade... Everybody happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEY have the special permission mentioned in the article. It's a bureaucratic process requiring the submission of Form THB1000 in multiple copies.
