steelepulse Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Have a look at google earth and the historic photos and you can see that this development is clearly breaking the law in regards to the setbacks. Their weak excuse is that the Tsunami took away a lot of beach and they were legal before. This is bull**** as the Tsunami did not take away any of the beach and in fact brought a bit more sand. Word has it that the "judge" has been delaying the final outcome for some time now thanks to ....................... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestBitterPhuket Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Perhaps issues like this should be tried in a military court instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernboy Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Perhaps issues like this should be tried in a military court instead. Redistributing the wealth is always a good Idea. The military have done such a good job with the jet boats rental agents and other unlawful people in beach areas. Did nobody on TV forum see his speech where he even mentioned that the jet boat operates too must think of ways to help tourism in this hard economic times.

hansgruber Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 The evason hotel was even more guilty of this. Didn't see them get heat. Their pool was basically built in the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were gone long before this (law enforcement) started. Edited February 7, 2015 by stevenl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were gone long before this (law enforcement) started.Doesn't change the fact they just built on the bay and once the renovations finish and the rebranded hotel reopens it will still be illegal, unless they demolished it which I doubt. It's much worse than the Eva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Serenity Terraces looks pretty suspiciously close to the high tide line also. I remember when it was a restaurant run by an Aussie bloke and we would site right on the dry side of the retaining wall which is now where the condos are situated. Maybe they are grandfathered in somehow......................... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 According to the gazette in this article http://www.phuketgazette.net/phuket-news/All-Eva-Court-probe-opens-door-new/48308#ad-image-0 Buildings are only 7.5 metres from the water, making them illegal as nothing is supposed to be built within 20 metres of median high tide line. >>Phuket Province has found that the construction work of Eva Project [sic] consists of one two-story reinforced concrete building about 8 meters tall and about 13 meters from the shoreline, plus three units of three-story reinforced concrete buildings about 10-12 meters tall and about 7.5 meters from the shore. >>“The said area is located in Zone No 1, as per the announcement of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment B.E. 2553 (2010), in which only buildings not exceeding 6 meters tall can be built; and must be at least 20 meters from the shore; and must not leave uncovered space of less than 75 per cent of the land area for which the construction permit was applied. Guaranteed there is much less than 75% uncovered space, as they built this covering pretty much all usable land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
