Gunna Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Why aren't the " owners " of these clubs using public land not being arrested ? 12 years with no rent, just brown envelopes. Why not arrest the officials who allowed this illegal use of public land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not arrest the officials who allowed this illegal use of public land. Do you have EVIDENCE which supports your allegations ? If so PUBLISH FACT (using your own name/address) not made up nonsense From the original article - ,The beach clubs were among a number of businesses swept up in the National Council for Peace and Order’s (NCPO) campaign to ‘clean up’ Phuket beaches, demanding that local officials remove any and all illegal establishments from the beaches' One would assume that local officials didn't let them occupy public land out of the kindness of their hearts.

If so PUBLISH FACT (using your own name/address) not made up nonsense These businesses are on public land - this fact is not in dispute. That means the officials that allowed them to be built, and remain in operation, were either corrupt, incompetent, or neglected their duty. I agree, the allegation of "corruption" requires evidence, however, the simple fact that the businesses were built, and allowed to operate on public land, means the officials involved have not acted to stop them, and at the very least, should be fired, and for that, the evidence is the building and business being on public land and being allowed to remain for so long.

Mudcrab Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Public land or private land.....who really cares....tens of thousands of tourists will remember their times there, good or bad and still talk about it to their friends. That is what makes it iconic. Bit like Walking Street in Pattaya. One for the bucket list for those who have never been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
