Authorities discovered that the majority of the 52 residences on Koh Samui’s hill were occupied by land encroachment investigators without construction permits.
The” Samui Model,” a joint task force made up of members of the Fourth Army Region, the Internal Security Operation Command ( Isoc ) Region 4, and local authorities, conducted an inspection of the properties.
Their assessment began last month and focused on villas that were constructed on a hill on the beach area in Surat Thani state.
Maj Gen Anusorn Ourai, the Fourth Army State’s assistant captain, claimed that the government were looking into a Khao Chaweng Noi Ridge element.
According to Maj Gen Anusorn, 90 % of the 52 upscale three-story villas in the substances were constructed without a design permit and on hilly, higher-than-the-law permitted sites, according to the report.
The homeowner’s owners showed the property deeds and relevant documents upon the department’s entry, but they refused to let the authorities into the place, he said.
The group believes that some locations, including Khao Lamai in tambon Maret, Khao Tai Khwai in tambon Lipa Noi, Khao Chaweng Noi and Khao Ma Nheng in tambon Bo Put, and Khao Laem Yai and Khao Toei in tambon Maenam, are being violated by the Environmental Act, Building Control Act, Hotel Act, and Foreign Business Act.
