The Royal Forest Department promises to increase protection to restore public places.

A private company’s encroaching on Nui Beach in Phuket is being reportedly attempting to reclaim the Royal Forest Department ( RFD )’s reserve forest area.

According to Bannarak Sermthong, the lieutenant director-general of the RFD, police officers gathered on Tuesday to inspect the beachfront property on Soi Laem Mum Nok in the Muang area.

They were acting on Phatcharavat Wongsuwan’s instructions to increase surveillance of invasion in public spaces.

Since a commonly reported occurrence in which a European man allegedly kicked a girl he thought was trespassing on the home he rented on Cape Yamu in Phuket, police activities have increased. It turns out that the abuse took place on a public beach.

On beaches all over the nation, where owners of located properties seek to encroach on access to seaside areas, are frequently seen — many of it illegal.

A sign indicates that the 18-rai plot of land belongs to Singha Phengkaew and intruders will be subject to legal claims at the page close to Nui Beach.

The manager’s attorney was given a search warrant, who has reportedly agreed to work with the police.

According to Mr. Bannarak, the site was discovered to have impacted a portion of designated forest in 2018 and 2019, and a law has already been put in place to demolish the intruding structure.

He continued, adding that gates had been put in place to encroach on the beach and that passage charges were being collected. However, it appeared that the same proprietors are encroaching once more.

The shore is regarded as a common space, according to Mr. Bannarak.

According to him, the National Reserved Forest Act prohibits the building of personal projects, including hotels, restaurants, and commercial spaces.

More than 50 institutions have been constructed on the site, according to the RFD.

Officials did issue warnings to occupants to demolish any beachfront structure found encroaching within 30 to 45 days.

Authorities will carry out the demolition work themselves if they do n’t, covering all costs incurred by the encroachers.

Opposition group defends the decision to refrain from a full-fledged debate about censure.

The opposition plans to ask the parliament president to approve a motion for a public discussion against the government on Wednesday, claiming that the government’s handling of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra’s parole will be one of the pressing issues.

The misconduct of Thaksin’s girl Yingluck Shinawatra, another criminal former prime minister, will also be discussed, according to Pakornwut Udompipatskul, an MP and the opposition main whip.

He said on Tuesday that it is still to be seen whether Move Forward did manage this portion of the argument on its own or whether it will allow its colleague opposition parties to do so.

Mr. Pakornwut refuted says that his party had negotiated a covert agreement with the decision Pheu Thai Party to avoid being too harsh on the state.

A general debate, in which ministers ‘ performance can be voted on, gives opposition parties a chance to raise issues of public concern. However, it does not have the same impact as a censure debate, in which ministers ‘ performances can be debated.

It is too quick in the administration’s name, according to Mr. Pakornwut’s statement last week.

He said the party’s suggestions for the topic for the public debate had soon been chosen in accordance with the allotted time.

In any case, he claimed, the party’s primary tool is not the party’s one, making the government eventually responsible to voters.

He added that it will provide a platform for the criticism to inquire about how well the government has implemented the fundamental laws promised in its policy statement a year ago.

He noted that the 10, 000-baht digital wallet and constitutional amendment laws, for example, have not made any significant improvement.

” An indicator of how the country may be changed for the better during the government’s four-year career may have started to take shape already in the initial seven to nine months, I believe,” he said.

” An inquiry is justified by the government’s inadequate promises.”

One female animal miscarried as a result of maltreatment, and another horse may be in danger.

PHUKET: An National student is facing a legal charge after being found to have molestered at least two female horses, one of which caused a miscarry.

A few who own a native firm, Chatroj Lek- arwut, 50, and Prapada Lek- arwut, a few, filed a complaint with the Thalang police on Tuesday alleging an 18-year-old American tourist molested three mares named Mali, Gina, and A- ngoon.

According to the couple, the girl allegedly repeatedly inserted his hand and arm into the vulvas of the horses during his appointments on film from the stable’s CCTV system.

Mali, who was nine weeks pregnant, is alleged to have miscarried as a result of the rape. Gina is certainly pregnant, but she has shown signs of pain as a result, according to them.

On the other hand, A- ngoon has been given antibiotics that may damage the four-month-old calf it is carrying after developing an infection, which is most likely brought on by the molestation.

The American girl appeared to be a regular visitor who frequently stopped by the stable, according to Ms. Prapada. The pair noticed that the horses he had toured had mucus around their sex glands.

The horse A-ngoon was examined by dermatologist Suthat Niyomthai of the Provincial Livestock Development Office and confirmed the disease. He acknowledged that it was impossible to predict whether the antibiotics he had given her to keep her life would lead to a miscarriage.

According to Pol Maj Yutthapol Wattaset, an investigator at the Thalang place, local authorities have invited the American teenager to question him on March 16.

The child’s deeds were viewed as a form of zoophilia, a mental illness that necessitates medical care, according to Dr. Apichat Jariyavilas, a spokeswoman for the Department of Mental Health.

Note: A previous version of this narrative, which stated that a horse was miscarried after being abused by a stranger, contained inaccurate information and has since been removed.
