PHUKET: -- Shop proprietors on Surin Beach have asked for an extension to the deadline for them to dismantle and remove their premises, saying the move to regulate the beach is badly affecting their livelihoods.

About 30 operators today (Apr 7) submitted their petition to the Justice Ministry’s public service centre in Phuket, seeking justice over the demolition order.

Walailuck Buasri, coordinator of the Surin beach business operators club, said the Cherng Talay Tambon Administration Organisation (OrBorTor) and the Phuket Provincial Administration Organisation (OrBorJor) had instructed them to dismantle their shops by April 15.

They had asked for a grace period for the demolition of the structures, but the two local bodies refused and instead filed a police complaint accusing them of encroaching on public land, said Ms Walailuck.

Earlier, the OrBorTor had met with all the affected operators about its move to regulate the beach. They had then moved the demolition deadline forward from April 20 to April 15, said Ms Walailuck.

“What are we doing wrong? We earn our living honestly.”"

​If your earning a honest living, why hide your face? Also, how does one earn an honest living by illegally encroaching on public land?

.....now it's a club......

...break the law......make your own rules.....what else is new......

This is laughable

They just don't "get it". What stooges! In this culture, they believe if they get away with something it's alright. If they get caught , just bad luck. Different type of morals.

Old stock is hard to get rid of...

HEY EVERYONE. I'm hosting a Surin Beach Shop Demolition Party. Food and booze is free for all.........Oh, oops, never mind.

.....now it's a club......

...break the law......make your own rules.....what else is new......

".....now it's a club......" - wait until it becomes an "association."
