A mandate for the deconstruction of three illegal resorts in the favoured hillside tourist destination, Phu Thap Boek, has been decreed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. The said resorts, located in the Phetchabun province, were brought to the notice of the authorities due to tourist complaints about obtrusive constructions blocking views.

 

On Wednesday, the Minister of Environment, Varawut Silpa-archa, promptly instructed his adviser Yuthapol Angkinan, an environmental inspector, and pertinent agencies to tackle the issue of these illegal resorts situated close to Pha Hua Sing, or Lion Head Cliff, in Ban Noen, a subdistrict of Lom Kao district. Pha Hua Sing is an integral part of the Khao Kho National Park ecosystem.

 

Following the illegal resorts complaint, the Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Suppression Division’s Sub-division 4 collaborated with the forest special task force and local administrative officials of Lom Kao district and Khao Kho National Park to scrutinise the problematic, illegal resorts.
