Owners agree to tear down Baan Pha Ngam

Owners of the famous Baan Pha Ngam resort will demolish its buildings themselves, which the authorities say must be done within 90 days.

National park officials rejected a request from the owner to extend the period for the demolition, saying that 90 days was reasonable.
After losing a decade-long fight against the Department of National Parks Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP), owners of the resort, deemed to have been illegally built, were ordered to remove it from Thap Lan National Park in Prachin Buri’s Na Di district.
However, officials will allow owners to demolish the resort themselves.
