crusty Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 In a blatant example of public land grab, witness what's been done the West end of Fishermans Village. The vandals have built directly on the public beach road so they now enjoy beachfront land and diverted an established road to what is now the rear of the resort What persuasion was used here I wonder, but as usual all quiet from the Greenies ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorade Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Yes, it is totally wrong. The Mayors office was aware of this development but nothing was done. It is yet another eyesore and in order to make sure that all the hotel rooms have a view they chopped down all the beautiful 100 year old Casuarina trees along the beach and replaced them with a few spindly Palms. It would appear that nothing but nothing is allowed to interfere with big business in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the biggest iaaue here is the chopping down of those trees which were beautiful but then again it will only take another 100 years to grow some more somewhere else....disgusting. I also miss the peace and quiet of the beach there.....just a year or three ago it was an oasis of calm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also miss the peace and quiet of the beach there.....just a year or three ago it was an oasis of calm..... Two three years ago the beach was nicer but the empty lot was an eye-sore with an unfinished construction project sitting there. Just a year ago it was a construction site. This photo is from May 25, 2009... I lived about an 8 minute walk from this hotel (Dec '08 - Feb '10) and passed it often on my way to FV. I thought it was a real shame that they cut down all those great shade trees. What is there now is an improvement over what has been there last year only because they destroyed the old beach.

Tony121 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 The land the hotel sits on, I think the road in front is still a government road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdman Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 so, the question remains. Is it or is it not allowed to park your car there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Well I suppose if they have official government no parking signs, no you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusty Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 The land this has been built on is being leased from the government it is not private land, So they were permitted to cut down government trees then ? Methinks it is hightime for the Heads in BKK to come down for an inspection tour and read the riot act, otherwise things are going to get a lot worse !
