stuarty Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I presume they will come back later to clear that? Is that what happened in previous beach demolitions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 That is cleared! It doesn't look much worse than many roadsides and beachfronts on our green island ( I hate trash and those that think they can just throw it anywhere). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backstairs Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Can someone list any of the bars, shops and restaurants that have hit the dust please? Or it may be easier to tell us what is left, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyoldman Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Nothing left What about the buildings to the left when looking at the water, Taste Restaurant, The Pool Club all the way down, those were not razed, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fester the benevolent Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 The pristine natural beauty of Phuket's beaches and warm welcome to tourists is certainly being well served by the dedicated local public servants! Next up: speeding through the hi-tech underpasses in affordable public transport directly to the destination you requested on your unicorn hunting application permit.

glassdude007 Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 All the buissness on both sides of the road even the Northern end of the beach All Raised..... I read in Phuket Newspaper today all the junk will be cleaned up by weeks end then they move to Layan Beach and one other place will be demolished on April 27th... Wonder where they take all the scrap, metal plastics rubber wood etc?.. Probably to the scrap yard owned by the orbitor who originaly got payed to sign the building permit to buld these places years ago...

sebastion Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Im guessing they didnt pull the septic tanks out from the beach club toilets. A little more sewerage seeping into the bay wont make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a comedian as that is probably the funniest post I have EVER read. Without having to ride up and look myself can someone tell me please, the buildings that go to the left when looking at the water upon arrival at the parking lot, do those remain? Thai seafood places, Cefalo Italian, Taste, some French guys put a whole lot of money into The Surin Pool Club, those are all still standing, yes?

moobie Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 An article concerning this issue was in The Daily Telegraph (UK) a couple of days ago:- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/asia/thailand/phuket/articles/surin-beach-shops-demolished-by-thai-government/ (I hope this doesn't contravene any of this sites regulations.)

Peterocket Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Nothing left What about the buildings to the left when looking at the water, Taste Restaurant, The Pool Club all the way down, those were not razed, correct? No they are all gone except for Patcharin seafood at the very end This is what used to be Cefalu/Taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Clearance will probably be a different contract. Knowing this place they probably haven't even started the bidding process yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backstairs Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I have finally driven to Surin beach car park. Sadly my phone was dead so no photos. But my eyes gazed on a view more Syrian than Surin. Devastation. Rubble and distant lorries shovelling it up. As far as my eyes could see, and it was quite a long way north and south, everything is crushed to dust. I could not see to the absolute end but places like Catch and Taste are gone. It is awful but it is now like it was many in the 80s. I feel sorry for tourists arriving who booked a hotel based on a beach with lots of amenities. At the moment, all it is fit for is lying on the beach and waiting for the submarine in Neville Shute's "On the Beach". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
