PHUKET: As Phuketwan forecast would happen before the end of the month, the Patong bungy jump where a tourist plunged to his death has been demolished.
The ''owner'' intends to turn the World Bungee Jump space to other use.
Phuketwan reported last week that the people who ran the jump had the choice of deciding in advance of an official demolition order to wreck the bungy of their own volition.
That's what happened earlier this week, Surapol Buakaew, the director of the servicing unit for Patong Council, confirmed today.
The thrill-seeker attraction had been operating without proper permits for more than a decade.
Patong police are awaiting the results of forensic tests in Bangkok on the bungy jump cord and its leg restraints before laying any charges over the death of Kuwaiti tourist Adel Kadhmbahman, 25, on May 27.

I hope that with the disappearance of this illegal business liability does not vanish too.
