Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suchart Chomklin on Tuesday vowed to press ahead with reclaiming encroached public beaches in Phuket, enforcing court rulings and removing illegal structures.
He said encroachment cases fall into two categories. The first is under the jurisdiction of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP), while the second, involving forest land along beaches, is being handled by the Royal Forest Department (RFD).
