PHUKET: -- The cement foundation and bricks for a new lifeguard tower under construction at Kata Noi Beach will be torn up and relocated to the site of the old tower following complaints by local residents.

The old lifeguard tower at Kata Noi Beach was pulled down late last year after the pillars broke and lifeguards could no longer use the tower as it was too dangerous.

The tear-down, however, left lifeguards at Kata Noi with no place to safely store their equipment.

“We will have to stop the construction of the new tower because we have received many complaints about it,” said Watcharin Patomwatthanapong, Acting Chief of the Phuket Provincial Administration Organisation (PPAO).

Looks great to me, no complaints here, leave it where it is.

Must have been inhibiting the parasailing and jetski operations.
