Compromise reached with new site for Patong vendors

PHUKET:-- The long-standing dispute between Patong Municipality and Loma Park vendors regarding expiration of rental contracts and alleged violation of beach management rules was concluded after both parties reached an agreement yesterday afternoon.

A meeting between the two parties held on November 1 was chaired by Phuket Governor Chokchai Dejamorthan and lasted several hours. It ended in a deadlock, however, with the vendors insisting on being allowed to operate their businesses there and Patong Mayor Chalermluck Kebsup insisting on ousting them to build a convention hall in that space.

Municipality officers attempted to cordon off the area on November 24, but a group of vendors gathered and pleaded with the municipality workers to allow them a chance to talk to the provincial committee.

Good old 'compromise'. Nice of the vendors to concede and leave at the (theoretical) end of High Season, given that they should have been gone ages ago.

"Once it's finished, they will have to permanently move inside the building's food court or food center at the supermarket"

 

What supermarket?

 

Does anyone else think it's strange that the municipality would be using a prime piece of valuable beachfront land to build a  "convention hall"?  From the drawings, this seems to be a place where meetings would be conducted inside a closed building. Why would this need to be directly on the beach? I would think that they could put this land to much better use. You know, something beach-oriented.

I am surprised the authorities did not just wait for another Tsunami to clear them out like their predecessors were.

Top quality nose-picking by the first lady in the third picture!

 

And they've designed the building in the shape of a boat so that perhaps this will confuse anyone trying to ban commerce in the beach area.
