PHUKET: A list of Patong street vendors, touts and stallholders with amounts to be paid each month has been discovered at the home of the former mayor of the holiday hub by police investigating corruption claims.

The list, containing 31 items, has been obtained by Phuketwan.

Police are believed to have uncovered other documents of interest in a task force raid on former mayor Pian Keesin's large Patong home on Thursday at the start of a tax and corruption probe.

Among the items were three boxes, one containing 370,000 baht in cash.

Investigators are holding scores of taxi and tuk-tuk drivers and plan to arrest more than 80 people over alleged ''mafia'' links with a lengthy and illegal street blockade in Patong's main roads in March.

Developments are expected to come speedily because Thursday's raids were carried out by police with tax and anti-corruption officials. The Bureau of Central Audit Operations is also involved.

The list from Khun Pian's could be a document merely recording the introduction of legal monthly rents to be paid to the Patong council.

Phuketwan has confirmed with street vendors that the fees suggested in the list are what they paid to Patong council officers for the right to be on the street. Auditors are likely to follow a money trail.

There is no heading on the list.
