webfact Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Failed attempt to begin demolition of popular South Pattaya HotelPATTAYA: -- The stand-off between City Officials and the owners of a popular South Pattaya Hotel continues, in a case which began in July 2013 and relates to the alleged illegal construction of extra floors to the Hotel which the City says need to be demolished.On Tuesday, Khun Wittaya, head of building control at the Engineering Department of Pattaya City Hall visited the Boutique Hotel Pattaya in Soi VC in South Pattaya and was joined by workers who were preparing to enter the Hotel to begin deconstruction of floors in three separate buildings of the Hotel.The first building which was previously 7 floors was extended to 11 floors, the second was 3 floors which was extended to 5 floors and the third building was 3 floors extended to 7 floors.A sign in Thai language stated that unauthorized persons cannot enter the hotel but under Section 42 of the Building Control Act of 1979 the team attempted to enter the premises but were blocked by individuals associated with the Hotel.Full story: http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/108769/failed-attempt-demolition-popular-south-pattaya-hotel/-- Pattaya One 2013-11-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThaidDown Posted November 12, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2013 Another example of 'do you know who I am' trumping laws.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 The local police (off duty and on hire) are probably among the ones blocking entrance to the hotel. They and those tough looking chamber maids... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfiddler Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 How can anyone be so stupid as to add 4 extra floors onto a 3 floor building and expect structural integrity ? Shades of the hotel in Nakhon Rachasima loom in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundman Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I have removed a post with an overly critical opinion of the Royal Thai. Please watch that your posts do not border on or become defamatory. Thank-you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
