What better way to enjoy a private business on a public beach

Phuket Beach Grows Sofas for Comfort of Jet-Ski Operators

Sunday, December 20, 2015
PHUKET: A Phuketwan reader has sent these photos of Kata beach on Phuket today, and says the photographs show that jet-ski operators are ready to relax in comfort while their private business prospers on the public beach. Authorities are not happy with tourists bringing their own beach chairs.

I would venture out to bet tourists are not likely to be allowed to park their pick-up trucks on the beach either.

Obviously some people are more equal than others.

A week before Christmas and the beach looks really quiet? Is it to do with all the rip offs?

It would be interesting to see the reaction of the authorities if people now park their cars and trucks on the beach with their own sun beds and umbrellas in the same way as the jet ski operators do
Since the jet ski operators are allowed to do so then it would be difficult to argue that others are not allowed to as well

That's just a statement to say that they are above the law or at the worst supported by it.

What is the problem? Just being jealous. There are lots of people who want comfort on the beach.

Must be sponsored by government for all the taxes that jet ski operators finally started to pay... right?

If these guys were gents they'd let the elder tourists sit in these chairs for a while, yes? (Er, no actually - Ed.)

You can bring your own sunbed for free Hagner, Siegfried. If you say it is absurd and not touristfriendly to let tourists take the sunbeds hotel-beach v.v. I agree with you.

The police will explain the use as renting Sue Yu so letting them use the sofa is impossible.
