Light at the end of the tunnel for Hua Hin beach encroachment saga?

 

 

HUA HIN: -- Two years after the courts ordered some 40 structures removed from a stretch of Hua Hin beach the issue is showing some signs of resolution this week.

 

Following orders from provincial officials to step up efforts to rid the area of the restaurants, guest houses and hotels that have been erected illegally over the last 13 years or so, there are some more development, reported Manager Online.

 

the police have announced that a meeting will be held with all relevant agencies next Monday to decide on the course of action. 

 

They said that out of eight people they wanted to arrest they have sent papers to court regarding just one. Two defendants have died and they are still after five more.

 

The local administration head said that they were active and taking steps to resolve the long running issue. Papers explaining their actions are with public prosecutors and the governor of the province.

 

The issue refers to some 40 structures from the Saphan Pla bridge to San Jao Mae Thap Thim.

Light at the end of the tunnel?? Not at all, its someone coming the other way with a lantern!

Damn - I always thought that "light at the end of the tunnel" meant a train is coming?

 

Just an alternative interpretation. 

[williamgeorgeallen]

finally they are having a meeting. surely that will be more successful than the court order. 'light at the end of the tunnel' trolling headline. to be correct it should be 'still no outcome'

...enforce the law...or not.....

 

...stop with the dramatizations.....

The military has torn down 9 rai of Chaweng beach road on Koh Samui, never thought that would happen.

Same thing there, built on public land.

Why does it have to take 2 years and the buildings are still there?  The government Knew the Illegal ones  from day one ,so if they had the Balls they should have been bulldozed down the they they knew about it,Excuses,,Excuses and to much Money in the Wrong pockets that is what is slowing down this easy to solve problem,,,Grow some Balls and do your're job If you can't do it Get someone in who can,,,

I think the comments by the Hua Hin mayor Nopporn Wuuthikui in this months Hua Hin Today are very interesting... requiring even further delays for more investiation and responsible authorities should proceed cautiously...

 

Too many powerful people involved in this charade of justice.

I take it that this is not about all the condos encroaching the beach below high tide. That is the real crime in Hua Hin.
