You guys REALLY don´t get it do you.

The ONLY things that have been achieved since the coming of the all powerful one is LM cases and clearing of the kings beaches !!

ANYTHING else was inconsequential....

    'want their beach back' - I had no idea 'they' owned the beach. 'free training' - and work for someone else at most 300 baht/day and have to actually work for at least 8 hours a day. That's not so ap

  • Terrific. Tell you what. You can get paid 300 baht per day as a salary to rent out the chairs at 100 baht per chair, and that money goes to a fund to clean and patrol the beach by professional peopl

Much more has occured than that. Suthep has hidden himself away in the den, " politicians" now wear fancy uniforms just like the military with many more medals, thailand is now indistinguishable from China and North Korea and soon to have the same trains, the director general runs his own comedy show on TV and we get to watch and laugh, the Russians are disappearing and being replaced by the true allies from China, thai airways is going broke, Phuket taxi prices have increased, tourist are still treated as unwanted cash cows, and we have a PM who's face looks like a constipated ass and in times of frustration you don't know whether he's going to blow or throw.

The beaches being used for private 'enterprise' is simply a small part of the ideology of Phuket. No public transport, none. No zoning - anyone can throw up an ugly condo anywhere just so long as money changes hands. Beach encroachment is just one symptom of a massive malaise on Phuket. And no amount of lipstick on this pig will ever change it.

Just let em back.We all know it's going to happen why prolong this farce.

I agree, with one big "If": IF they use the money these sunbed touts pay, to keep the beaches clean. (including trash receptacles at both the beach AND the car parking areas)

As long as they wouldn't hog the whole beach, I believe this would be a good compromise and OK with most. (except of course the guys making the rules LOL)
