stevenl Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I suppose they were selling there with permission from the 'owner'. Is his beach club there legal after the warnings issued? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is a club on Freedom Beach, although there has been a lot of crime (including murder), connected to the land above the beach. Are you thinking of the "connected" owner at Paradise Beach or perhaps the thugs with their clubhouse at Nui Beach? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or for sure used to be something, https://www.thephuketnews.com/nui-and-freedom-beach-buildings-to-be-demolished-within-two-months-71558.php. Nui Beach is really busy since 6 months or so, seems their clubhouse is attracting quite a few punters now. Should be demolished of course, see same article.
