After discovering that a luxury hotel task being built by Chinese owners on Koh Samui was taller than the law permitted, regulators suspended the job.
The Central Investigation Bureau ( CIB ) and Koh Samui municipality officers conducted a Saturday raid on the site of the” Anzhu Seamate” project in tambon Maret in Surat Thani’s Koh Samui district, according to Pol Maj Gen Watcharin Poosit, the commander of the Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Suppression Division ( NED ).
The design of a luxurious resort is a part of the project, which is suspected to be illegal.
The job was discovered to be owned by a group of Chinese traders by the soldiers.
Local residents in the area claim that there are 50 to 50 developers at the page each day, but no workers were discovered during the search, leading officers to consider one 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 city complained to the police. The project’s creators will now be detained and their identities may become 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 palaces were being built without permits, according to the company.
