At 11am, under the command of Thalang District Chief, Veera Kerdsirimongkul and Cherng Talay OrBorTor Chief, Ma'an Samran, twenty volunteers and police swept Bang Tao Beach for any remaining signs of beach encroachment.
During the swoop, officials found six tables, 18 chairs and 10 umbrellas placed on a prohibited zone.
Officials questioned people who were near the items in hope of catching the owner and prosecuting them for encroachment of public land.
However, one man, Pairoj Sithidej, when asked, simply replied, “I don't know who owns those items.”
All of the items were taken to OrBorTor Cherng Talay.
