webfact Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Phuket’s inaugural meeting of a newly established working group, tasked with resolving issues concerning residents residing in or near the Bang Khanun Protected National Forest, resolved to develop a database to record all land parcels owned or occupied within the forest area. The decision also included creating a map of the occupied areas within the forest. The resolution was made yesterday at the Phuket Provincial Hall, with Phuket Vice Governor, Amnuay Pinsuwan chairing the meeting. The working group’s formation was spurred by the Phuket Provincial Office, following directives from the Phuket Provincial Ombudsman’s Office (Damrongtham Centre). The office had received numerous complaints regarding the Royal Thai Navy’s (RTN) permission to use all 3,700 rai of the protected forest to establish a new base for several military units. The database’s objective is to offer a reference system for people who occupy or allege to own land in the Bang Khanun forest. It will also function as a platform to receive complaints and grievances from citizens adversely affected by the actions or inaction of government agencies.
