Quindi niente aree delimitate, anche quelle dei "mafia jet-ski, parasail, e menate varie".
Se vi fanno storie quindi andate dalla polizia ;-)
Ottima notizia, ricordo che una parte della spiaggia pari a circa il 20% è dotata di ombrelloni IN AFFITTO, quindi speriamo che adesso tutti siano contenti e felici!
BUONA SPIAGGIA DI PHUKET A TUTTI.
Tourists Win: Phuket Governor Says Bring Your Umbrellas, Sit Where You Like on Beaches
Thursday, November 5, 2015
PHUKET: Tourists may bring their own equipment to Phuket's beaches and sit on chairs under umbrellas wherever they like, Governor Jamleran Tipayapongtada said yesterday.
In a reversal of previous policy, the governor told a ''meet the media'' gathering at Phuket Provincial Hall: ''If you are hot, bring an umbrella. When you are finished, take it off the beach, take it home. It's simple.''
Until yesterday, one of several problems with the proposed ''10 percent zones'' being introduced at all Phuket beaches was that tourists who brought chairs or sunbeds would be obliged to sit in the delineated zones.
Governor Jamleran, who recently took on the job of the holiday island's top administrator, clarified what tourists can expect after many months of confusion since the military cleared commerce from Phuket's beaches in June last year.
In response to a question from Phuketwan he said: ''If you are a tourist, you may bring your own equipment and sit anywhere on any beach. We will not arrest tourists who bring their own equipment. We will not do that.''
Phuketwan had asked whether the new rules were designed to suit the tourists, or local vendors.
At yesterday's meeting, it was also made plain that the ''10 percent zones'' would be for local workers only. People from other provinces would not work in them, providing tourists with hire mats and umbrellas, food and drink.
''Window shopping'' vendors selling sunglasses and other items are also banned from all beaches. In the past, Burmese or Cambodians have often taken on these roles.
The governor said that the numbers of umbrellas available for hire would be very carefully limited, but the number could increase or decrease depending on demand.
The plan is for the registered beach vendors in the ''10 percent zone'' to be obliged to form an association, so they pay tax.
''We are trying to help the vendors,'' the governor said. ''If the businesspeople cannot follow the rules, it will be the end of the 10 percent zones.''
Land Titles officials will peg out five ''10 percent zones'' at Patong beach on Friday. Patong beach is to be the role model for implementing the idea at all Phuket beaches by November 15.
Phuketwan has been an advocate of the ''sit where you like'' concept for sunlovers on Phuket's beaches.
