Chon Buri’s local authorities lodged complaints yesterday against a resort proprietor and a village leader, accusing them of encroaching on a coastal region in the Sattahip district by constructing a ramp. The ramp was being erected behind a now-defunct resort in Tambon Samae San in Moo 1, an area under investigation following a complaint about suspected coastal encroachment.

 

Following the coastal encroachment complaint, provincial governor Thawatchai Srithong delegated Chusak Nantithanyathada, the acting district chief, to conduct an on-site inspection. The investigation, which took place on Monday, September 4, revealed that approximately seven rai of land had been encroached upon by the ramp, according to Mongkrot Aunruang, a high-ranking forestry official. The data was confirmed by a GPS map.

 

The discovered ramp, 1 metre wide and 79 metres long, was found to be linked to a concrete landing. Notably, the authorities found backhoes operating on the beach and trucks moving in and out of the ramp construction area. Consequently, the officials issued an immediate cease-and-desist order on the work while inspections proceeded.
