Phuket is speeding up help to more than 900 small hotel operators affected by closure due to their illegal construction on public land.
Deputy Phuket governor Pichet Panapong said on Wednesday many unlicensed hotels were found to have been built at prohibited sites, such as national park areas, Sor Por Kor agricultural land areas or designated zones in ministerial regulations on city planning. Some were found in breach of the Building Control Act.
