Popular Post soi3eddie Posted December 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2023 Knowing that it is likely illegal, and will almost certainly be reported, why didn't he find a quieter more discrete area? At least not pitch the tent until after dark. Asking for trouble in my opinion. In 2016 I embarked on a solo bicycle expedition in Myanmar. Knowing that I could not make it between towns in one day and would have to camp ("illegally"), I purchased a camoflage tent and tarp. Peeling of the road at dusk, well into the plantations and being sure nobody was around, I would pitch the tent. Virtually impossible to see from 10 metres away. Packing and departing at dawn each day, I had no unwelcome visitors or attention (other than a few nosey critters in the night). 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if everyone who just got off the flight from Moscow pitches their tent on that beach. What about safety, sanitation and other peoples access to the beach?

Most weekends groups of Thais on motorbikes and scooters go up to the Mae Wong national park, 20 km up the road from our house and camp overnight in their tents perfectly legally. Some even go another 40km to the end of the road at Chong Yen, and camp up there too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Can't say he wasn't warned of probable outcomes. Have to laugh at his choice to pitch his tent on Patong Beach after seeking advice on a quiet place to go. Seems to be towards the north end of the beach. Of course toilets are available on such a major tourist beach. It's a bit like camping on Bondi. Complaints most likely came from beach venders or resorts, not many residents living there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko123 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 There are multiple national parks in the area, all of which permit overnight camping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't Thais just leave others alone? Could have been a hiso farang who considered it a visual blemish to his afternoon stroll and took immediate offence. Calling Tourist Police with haste!

Sorry I cannot provide a link now. So it looks like he ignored all the advice and gave it a go. No harm in trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
