mackayae Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Le Meridien is located on Relax Bay, which is its own pivate Beach. Karon Beach is a public beach south of Relax Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Strictly speaking all beaches in Thailand are available to the public, however if all the access ways are privately owned then by default the beach becomes private. Le Meridian owns almost all the land about Relax bay and controls who can or cannot get onto the beach. No part of Karon beach can be considered 'private' as the public can walk along the entire beach front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinginKata Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 It's not really practical to walk along to Relax Bay. Quite high headlands on each side, and there is no access to these sides without crossing private land. Boat is the only practical way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinLOS Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I dont think that is a fact.. The beach is not private.. but access ways to the beach can be private.. Seem to remember this as a Q&A in the gazette over YaNui beach and why they can charge (and act like arrogant dicks).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I don't think that Thailand any sort of 'right-of-way' laws. Might be wrong, but ??. As for those gangsters over at Ya Nui, put one of my Thai staff in hospital with serious head injuries (using a machette) when a family group went over to Ya Nui on their Sunday off. He will never fully recover, police not interested, TIT .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If need be say you wanted to look at joining the fitness club, but you'll probably just get the salute as you drive through ( at least in years past it was like this).
