The Boutique Hotel Pattaya Demolition Another Hitch

After the surrender of Billionaire Khun Alongkorn to Pattaya Police Station after a warrant for his arrest was issued by Pattaya Provincial Court for modifying one of his properties  - The Boutique Hotel on Soi VC in South Pattaya and his subsequent release after paying 200,000 Baht of a 500,000 Baht bail figure Officials from the Engineering Department of Pattaya City Hall could finally start work on the demolition of the offensive property.

Khun Alongkorn and his legal team had been putting off the day of reckoning for moths if not years I lose track exactly how long.

The engineers arrived at the 13 story hotel that should be a 7 story hotel to find the front doors to be chained and padlocked. No problemo - they had foreseen this slight problem and blot cutters had been brought along. Their first task after gaining entry was to cut off and s secure the utilities like water and electric.

What they hadn't foreseen despite the demolition orders and the chains and padlocks the electric meters were merrily whirring around. There were still tourists resident in some of the rooms. The engineers halted their operation to get advice from Pattaya City Hall.

The saga continues.
