Singapore-based Banyan Group is developing the first phase of Laguna Lakelands, its US$2-billion investment project, located on a 700-rai (276 acres) area of Bang Tao Beach at the entrance to the exclusive community of Laguna Phuket.

CCTV recordings are being reviewed in a bid to find out who chopped down 300 Korean banyan trees lining a road in Phatthalung on Thursday night.
