PHUKET: -- MaAnn Samran, Chief of the Cherng Talay Tambon Administration Organisation (OrBorTor), has told the Royal Thai Army in Phuket that he plans to clear Bang Tao Beach of all vendors.

 

Friday 24 March 2017, 10:29AMThe news comes after an inspection of the beach by Col Santi Sakuntanark, Commander of the 25th Infantry Regiment and the highest-ranking army officer stationed in Phuket, brought to light restaurants with even tables and chairs on the sand.

 

“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,” Col Santi said last week.

 

Mr MaAnn met with soldiers on Tuesday (Mar 21), but failed to explain why the beach club restaurant was on the sand.

 

“I was away in Bangkok on Tuesday, so I am looking to meet with him tomorrow,” Col Santi told The Phuket News today (Mar 24).

 

“By the rules, the restaurant cannot stay on the beach, including its chairs and tables. It is not even allowed in the ‘10% zone’, where on Bang Tao Beach only sun loungers and umbrellas are allowed,” he said.

MaAnn AGAIN! Why is this guy still in charge of any beach? He sold off every square inch of Surin before the Army came in and leveled it. And now he's back to his old tricks. Unbelievable. No, it's not unbelievable , TIT.

If I were  a army commander of any worth I would sort out just about any problem, starting with the well known phrase
