snoop1130 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Phuket ‘Table for Two’: Army wants a date with MaAnn over beach restaurant The Phuket News PHUKET:-- The Commander of the Royal Thai Army unit assigned to Phuket wants to meet MaAnn Samran, chief of the Cherng Talay Tambon Administration Organisation (OrBorTor) to hear why a beach club restaurant has been allowed to place dining chairs and tables on the sand at Bang Tao Beach. Gen Santi Sakuntanak, Commander of the 25th Infantry Regiment and the highest-ranking army officer stationed in Phuket, told The Phuket News he was seeking an audience with Mr MaAnn after he led an inspection of Bang Tao beach on Monday (Mar 13). “I want to talk with the Cherng Talay chief about the restaurant with chairs and tables on the beach… He well knows about it, but he has done nothing to arrest these people. Bang Tao beach is one of the nine beaches under the ‘beach management’ policy,” Gen Santi said. “I have informed the Palad (Cherng Talay OrBorTor Chief Administrative Office) to inform the chief that he must must come to talk with me. “I want to find out what he wants and what businesses want at that beach. I want their conclusions reported to me. I will pass on my report to the Army and the Phuket Provincial beach management committee,” Gen Santi said. Mr MaAnn came under further pressure on Monday when local vendors petitioned him to set up 10% zones and allow them to work on Surin Beach, which is also within Mr MaAnn’s geographical area of responsibility.

Psimbo Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Absolutely, positively no business on the beach (unless my mates are involved) Ma Ann later replied. Beach restaurants in Kamala have never gone away either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatawonderfulday Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Where has this commander been ? everybody all over Thailand knows how chairs etc get onto beaches in forbidden areas. Instead of asking foolish questions they should be arresting the culprits. In this case MaAnn Samran. Then squeeze them till the pips pop out to squeal and drop their supporters in it to, usually the BIB.

IamNoone88 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Timely action towards the end of high season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuarty Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 This Samran guy really is a piece of work. Playing both ends off against the middle again. The cause of and not the solution to most of the problems under his purview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deli Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 This is why the ( remaining ) tourist come to Phuket. Dining and service ON the beach. Is it so hard to understand ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farcanell Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 This has always been one of my favorite places to go for a late lunch... a nice ride along the coast ( excluding a couple of obvious bad areas) have a swim, whilst waiting for lunch. develop a salt rash riding home ? Then have an evening massage to recover ? It would be a real shame to see the removal of all these businesses... regulate them, sure... but please don't remove them all ?

Destiny1990 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Its possible on most beaches in Thailand and the rest of the world so why not in Phuket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As recently proven, squeeze hard enough and someone ends up hanged by their shoelaces in a jail cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
