PHUKET:-- Officials from the Ministry of Justice visited Laem Singh Beach this morning to follow up on a long-standing land dispute between the public, particularly local Thai people and thousands of foreign tourists, and an organization called 'Bangkok Broadcasting & Television Co Ltd (BB&T)'. 

The company, which airs Thai national television Channel 7, has announced that starting April 17, they are cutting access to Laem Singh Beach entirely. 

The issue started in March 2012, when BB&T ordered a fence to be built around a 65-rai tract of land leading up to the beach. Locals submitted a formal letter of complaint to Dussadee Arayawuth, Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, calling for authorities to investigate the title deed for the land, but little progress was made on the issue.
