Thai Environmental Interest in Pattaya Seashore

We have been inform that a Thai legal groups in Bangkok will enter a new case against Pattaya City Hall over their violation of Thailand Ministerial Regulation No. 8 and 9. We expect the new legal case to be filed in July! More news will follow and we will translate and post any new legal filings.
We are thankful for Thai’s environmental interest in the Ministerial Regulation No. 9 and to restore the Pattaya’s coastline to the original intent. The Thai legal association in April sent a notification letter to Pattaya City Government of their supposed violations of Thai law. They can file a lawsuit in Administrative Court if the city doesn’t take action with in 90 days to correct the violation of Ministerial Regulation No. 8 and 9.

Quotation from Thailand "Home & Condos? Get a copy and read page 6:

“The answer is quite simple…..the ‘locals’ are NOT ‘pressing the issue’ on construction height and distance from the beach here in Pattaya…..in fact, it’s actually coming from Bangkok and the most experienced and successful environmental protection team in Thailand.

The pressure…to follow the laws of beachfront construction in Pattaya City is being applied by a well known and very respected Khun Srisuwan Janya, president of the Stop Global Warming Association and Board of Committees & Legal Adviser to Friends of the Asian Elephant/FAE and The World's First Elephant Hospital in conjunction with his associates Dr. Anatchai Rattakul, director of the "Doctor of Philosophy In Government Administration and Public Policy" departments at Kasem Bundit University and Khun Varin Thiemcharas, Senator and member of the Law Society of Thailand (LST).

These are the very same environmentalists that have called on the Law Society of Thailand (LST), successfully, to take legal action against the Petroleum Authority of Thailand (PTT) over its Thai-Burmese gas pipeline project.

The landmark court rulings that all but froze Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate were said to be a result of the above team’s extraordinarily firm belief in constitutional rights and strenuous efforts to put that belief into practice.
This is the same team that has filed the legal action in the Administrative Court of Bangkok and consequently is suing the City of Pattaya for several violations of Issue 9.

They are suing the…..Pattaya City beachfront!

So, are there combined efforts to challenge some of Pattaya City’s ‘permitted beachfront construction’ as illegal and against Thai law going to drop a bomb with outside lawmakers hitting the Pattaya and Jomtien beaches running…..running towards Pattaya City Hall?

Is defining the correct regulatory figures on construction height and distance from the beach, by referring to the ‘existing and written Thai laws’ going to open a ‘Pandora’s Box’ here in Pattaya?

I think that most of us living and working in and around Pattaya can look back at the last seven to eight years of beachfront construction here in Pattaya and see very clearly…..that something changed and ‘some Pattaya beachfront construction’ appears to have been constructed closer, closer, much closer to the beach than had been the case in years passed.

Has something changed during this time to adjust (closer) these regulated heights and distance measures as pertains to new beachfront construction in Pattaya. I don’t think so!”
