Suthipong Khai-udom said that those who are breaking the law have enjoyed the protection of a local politician. No one dared enforce the law. Complaints were made by local environmentalists that the beach was being encroached upon. They demanded action.

amdy2206 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 The beach has been getting less and less a d there is no beach where those seafood restaurants are. Will be good to clear the beach for public use and not the use of restaunteurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvo Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Yep, clear the lot and give Hua Hin a beautiful beach front. No traffic, no umbrellas, no sunloungers, no deck chairs, no horses, no restaurants, no food sellers, no souvenirs..... No people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETERTHEEATER Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Why is he 'calling for action'? He's the District Chief so the responsibility rests with him. Those restaurants have illegally encroached the beach for decades under cover of powerful figures. Cleanups have been muted many times but no action. Pure rhetoric!

mercman24 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 ok, we all know it aint gonna happen, so why bother going into print about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thian Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I always thought that Hua Hin is the beach for the highest people of Thailand and they wouldn't allow such selfish behaviour. What are they waiting for now? One bulldozer can clean it in 1 day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every structure on Surin Beach was leveled. You can't encroach on the King's Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhinhh Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 This would be a good chance to create a nice beachfront strolling area, something that most beach resort location have but is missing in Hua Hin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Looking at the photo, there are about a zillion miles of clear beach on the other side of the piers. Perhaps keeping a few places for the tourists and locals to eat, over the water- limited to a specific area, wouldn't be a bad idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soooo, they should let these obviously illegally encroaching businesses stay? So the locals can eat somewhere? Yeah, they stole that beach fair and square. You obviously don't know what happened in Phuket. Every encroaching business, every sun chair is gone and we're far better for it. It's Hua Hin's turn.

You mean wipe the slate beach clean so the next group of kleptos in power can build their own encroaching businesses as soon as everyone looks away? How often is it really about the rules, fair play and improving the tourism resource? And how often is it really about funneling the money in a different direction? Someone has their eye on that chunk of real estate. And it isn't for an open walking beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
