“These are all areas we’ve zoned off for the public. We want to assure the public and tourists that we follow the NCPO orders to maintain public land for public use,” Capt.Thammawat explained.
“There is no more encroachment, but only public service areas established at some beaches. There are areas designated for jet-skis, swimmers and boats. The OrBorJor has helped us to keep the beaches in order and clear of encroachment.”
Capt Thammawat concluded, “The Third Naval Fleet is responsible to keep Phuket's beaches in order. Phuket is a tourism city. We do our best to keep this place for our people, our future and tourists.”
The Navy will hold a press conference on February 12 to give more details on its progress and inspections.
