Sea gypsies in Rawai threw stones and insults at builders from Baron World Trade Co on Wednesday after the construction company made a wall of boulders to block access to the site and began digging on the disputed land.

Another confrontation has occurred between sea gypsies and a group of 10 workers from Baron World Trade Company at Rawai Beach in Phuket province. The workers had moved two backhoes into a disputed area to level the ground.
