Legal action is being pursued by Pattaya City against businesses accused of encroaching on forest land on Koh Lan, confirms Deputy Mayor, Manote Nongyai. The city received information regarding the alleged encroachment near Sangwan Beach from a local non-profit organisation.

 

After conducting a survey, city officials confirmed that the encroachment had taken place with approximately 10 rai of forest land being cleared. As a result, Pattaya City has tasked its legal department with presenting the survey results to the Royal Forest Department for subsequent action.

 

The city authorities have escalated the matter by filing a legal complaint with local law enforcement against those parties suspected of the encroachment. They have also issued a cease and desist notice to the alleged offenders, reports Deputy Mayor Manote.

Koh Lan, an island located near Pattaya, is a magnet for tourists, particularly those from China, Russia, and India, attracting as many as 10,000 visitors daily, reported Bangkok Post
