After discovering that a luxury resort task being built by Chinese owners on Koh Samui was taller than the law permitted, regulators suspended the job.
On Sunday, Pol Maj Gen Watcharin Poosit, the head of the Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Suppression Division ( NED), reported that Koh Samui municipality and the Central Investigation Bureau ( CIB ) conducted a raid on the site of the” Anzhu Seamate” project in tambon Maret in Surat Thani’s Koh Samui district on Saturday.
The development of a luxurious resort is a part of the project, which was deemed to be illegal.
The job was discovered to be owned by a group of Chinese owners.
Local residents in the area claim that there are 50 or so contractors on the job site each day, but the site’s residents claim that no one found them during the search, giving officials the impression that someone had halted the work, according to Pol Maj Gen Watcharin.  ,
He added that the property was discovered to be made up of several pool villas perched near to one another on a hill, with each creating taller than 10 meters, exceeding the permitted height of 6 meters.
According to the regulators, the home record of the area where the hotel is located belongs to a Chinese-owned firm named Anzhu Seamate, which bought about 10 ray of property in 2018.
According to Maj Gen Watcharin, another class of Chinese investors contacted Anzhu Seamate as the builder to create 34 palaces on the property after requesting a permit to do so, according to Maj Gen Watcharin.
However, the project’s specifics were eventually altered, leading to the construction of villas right next to each other rather than separate as permitted by the permit, he claimed.
The Koh Samui city decided to destroy the palaces because they were not being built in accordance with the force.
Prior to the incident, the town complained to the police. The project’s creators will now be detained and their identities may remain recherch.
The NED inspected a similar development initiative called Samui Green Cottages, consisting of 53 palaces, on Koh Samui on Friday.
About 10 of the residences were being built without a permit, according to the company.
