PHUKET: -- The Nui Bay Member Club, raided three times by the Royal Thai Navy and with one building demolished because it stood on the sand at Nui Beach, remains open to trade while the Phuket Provincial Office reviews its appeal.

The club remaining open flies in the face of demolition orders issued last year, giving the owner seven days to demolish the club’s buildings by July 15, 2015.

Yet the club posted promotional material complete with photos on Facebook on Monday (Feb 1), saying, “The restaurant, massage, diving, snorkeling, kayaking, fly boarding, donut boating; all this awaits you on this bay. The entry fee is 350 baht and children under 12 enter free.”

Lt Sompop Kamkhana of the Royal Thai Navy, who led the raids last year, told The Phuket News this week that he was aware that the club was still open.

“The owner of the business filed an appeal, claiming that due legal process was not observed (in issuing the demolition notices),” he said.

“The case is under review by the Phuket Provincial Office,” he added. “As requested, I filed the evidence supporting the decision to demolish the building on January 21.

“We are still waiting to hear the results (of the appeal), which we should receive by early March.”

Keep paying the governor and mayor for a long delay.If it was The Army that was involved it would have been another matter but The Navy is a third rated part of the armed forces and has only a little pull here.
