Photo: Dean Lambert PHUKET: -- A number of blue PVC pipes which had been pummelled into the sand at Bang Tao Beach last Saturday have been removed following orders from Chief of the Cherng Talay local authority to officials from Thalang Municipality. Speaking to The Phuket News today (May 19), Chief of the Cherng Talay OrBorTor Ma-Ann Samran said that he was notified of the pipes being placed in the sand last Saturday. “I was notified that a large number of blue pipes had been placed in the sand at Bang Tao Beach last weekend, and I believe the pipes were placed there by the owner of a restaurant who became upset after the Royal Thai Army inspected the beach line at Bang Tao Beach and the restaurant put the pipes there to mark their boundary,” Mr Ma-Ann said.

A shame considering he was stepping down two years ago- I guess the upside was too lucrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakeupplease Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Guys come on, can you not see what is happening here, I will explain. Local owner is worried he will not have enough water so is employing his own water catchment system, so as the pumps run dry as they do often in this neck of the woods and showers become a memory, he will have water, Brought to you by the wonderful story telling company of Thailand. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soupdragon Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 So which of the many restaurants along that stretch of beach that was "marked out" actually did this. I call BS, the area of land behind the restaurants is being developed, more likely the developers/owners of that land wanted to create a seawall the same as the Best Western. Blatant land grab.

Stargeezr Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I still like to go to Phuket and I am glad to see that the owners lost their PCV pipes, goodjob. Thailand and Phuket have to try to advance into this 21 century and these pipes are not helping that cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaZa9 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Yes , BS, The Mayor would have known about this one alright , and he wants to muddy the waters by sighting a 'restaurant owner' when the land in question , that was hoping to grow by 5% is a DEVELOPER. It makes me laugh how these guys say how much they love the King , then try to steal his beaches! I note there is no charges or further pursuit of the "Restauranter" btw. No penalties for stealing beaches down here.. PS There are still FOUR concrete filled blue pipe posts there !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
