PHUKET: -- Local authorities have today announced a final deadline for businesses encroaching on public land at Surin, Lay Pang and Layan beaches, informing business owners that they have to demolish all illegal buildings by next month.

“We have decided, once and for all, to demolish the premises of private business encroaching on public land at three Phuket beaches. The deadline for tearing down these buildings is April 20 for Surin Beach, and April 27 for Lay Pang and Layan Beaches,” Phuket Vice Governor Chokdee Amornwat told the Phuket Gazette after a closed-door meeting with beach management officials today.

“Starting tomorrow, we will issue letters to each business owner to inform them that they must vacate the premises by the stated deadline. However, on that date, the buildings will be demolished regardless of whether operations have been shut down or not.”

Yes but still a dozen final deadlines before, if ever, some action. The previous were quarter and semi finals and the grand final has been permanetly postponed.

I believe it this time, looks like the court cases have finished and this is going to be it.

I will believe it when I see the knockdowns actually happening.

They let them slide for the high season, that was probably the deal that existed all along.

And when will they finally demolish all illegal taxis and tuk tuks on the island ?

When are they going to do the same thing for buildings already cited but refusing to move in Na Jomtien beach?
