Popular Post webfact Posted March 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2020 Koh Samui: Dozens of beachside hotels operating without permission in Chaweng File photo The operators of 73 beachside bungalow and hotels on one of Koh Samui's principal beaches have not had their permission to operate renewed. The Chaweng operators were at a meeting at the weekend to complain about how they are being treated. They are involved in a dispute about land use and access. They think that they should be given permission to operate while the dispute is resolved.

SteveB2 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 For many years, the regulations governing the operation and registration of Hotels in Thailand were largely ignored. However, there is a lot of money to be made by local officials enforcing the law (for example 10,000 Baht/ day fine for every day the hotel remains open without a proper license) so many tourist areas have seen sporadic but ocasionally fierce enforcement of the Hotel registration acts. Pattaya got a massive shakedown about a year ago, with dozens of operators either closed down, fined or imprisonned. Registration is fairly straighforward, but a massive paper chase. check out this link for more info https://pugnatorius.com/hotel-license/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they may continue shaking down their locals and bleed them dry until they fold up and go out of business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
