webfact Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Pattaya — Pattaya city is currently engaged in a legal dispute with a local restaurant located at Laem Bali Hai, following allegations of unauthorized construction of the establishment. Pattaya officials led by Mr. Suriya Kaewkhiao yesterday, August 4th, went to the restaurant in question in a bid to dismantle the place, after they decided that the restaurant had been built without proper authorization from local authorities. Mr. Suriya explained that Pattaya City had previously instructed the restaurant operators to cease operations and demolish the building in accordance with the Building Control Act by September 22, 2022. However, since the specified deadlines had passed without the operators complying, the authorities now have the responsibility of overseeing the demolition of the restaurant by themselves.

Did they perhaps move out of that hotel with unauthorized extra floors that eventually got addressed... I think that was in the nearby Yensabai area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Funny how the business owner wants to file charges against officials for entering his illegal business without permission. Even funnier is that it's a restaurant, which I presume the owner wants to reserve only for those who don't have any interest in enforcing the law. the owner will file a legal action against the officials for entering and encroaching upon his private property “Without Permission.” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topt Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 At the end of the linked article - Quote TPN media notes this particular website has had a long history of legal battles with Pattaya City, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, for alleged violations of COVID restrictions mostly around selling alcohol which led to continual raids against the venue. I think they meant restaurant not web site but whoever owns it seems to have some "connections" and/or very deep pockets..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
