PHUKET:-- A large section of Nai Yang Beach has suffered beach erosion following the recent spate of bad weather along the Andaman coast. However, Mai Khao Municipality say were not aware of the situation.

Photos of the erosion, along the stretch of Nai Yang Beach directly behind Phuket International Airport, were posted on the Facebook page of the Phuket Lifeguare Service yesterday (Sept 8).

Prathaiyut Chuayuan, President of Phuket Lifeguard Service (PLGS) told The Phuket News today (Sept 9), “The recent weather has seriously affected Nai Yang Beach. Over the last week there have been big, strong waves. The tide has been very high and people have not been able to get onto the beach.

“The waves have caused erosion along the beach, and in some places it is so bad that trees have fallen. No official from the area has been to inspect it yet,” Mr Prathaiyut said.
