Land dispute on Koh Lan escalates

CHON BURI: According to Deputy Mayor Manote Nongyai, a group of companies have been accused of encroaching on Koh Lan’s bush area by PattaYa City.

A local non-governmental organization has informed the company of the alleged incursion of an region adjacent to Sangwan beach.

About 10 ray of jungle land have been cleared, according to a survey conducted by city officials, indicating that the area has been invaded.

The Royal Forest Department will receive the survey results from Pattaya City’s legitimate section for further consideration.

According to Mr. Manote, the town has filed a formal complaint with the local police against the events who are alleged to have invaded the place and given them notice to immediately stop the invasion.

Visitors from China, Russia, and India frequently visit Koh Lan, a well-known area close to Pattaya. The area receives up to 10,000 visitors per day.

On the island, where hospitality companies want sizable tracts of land for business development, illegal land merger has been a major issue, according to Mr. Manote.

Hat Sangwan is one of the island’s seven shores, but Mr. Manote claimed that there are too many visitors there.

He claimed that issuing title activities and other rights files has also been a long-standing issue.

According to Mr. Manote, the Baan Koh Lan community’s inhabitants call the place home and depend on farming and fishing for a living. Some people, however, have urged the government to address the issue of land rights because they lack the necessary documentation.

According to Mr. Manote, the Chon Buri statewide office now serves as a mediator in the property rights dispute between citizens and the regulators as the management of the area has been moved from that location to Pattaya City.
