If, as Anutin's claims, industrial estates cannot operate without formal approval, then why do we see frequent reports of nominee landholding, unlicensed construction, and raids on illegal sites and businesses? The reality suggests quite the opposite of his so-called strict legal procedures. Clearly, recent actions in Phuket, Koh Phangan, and Surat Thani only confirm that unlawful operations can persist for long periods before authorities finally intervene. So, Anutin’s “full force” claim is fine, but why should people believe it to be different when the headlines keep showing the same old story about illegal operations discovered only after they’ve been running for years?
