PHUKET: Jet-skis remain on Phuket's Patong beach even though they're not supposed to be there, a meeting heard yesterday. And the problem - enforcement - also applies to Patong's taxis and tuk-tuks.
Jet-ski operators have apparently been told they may function in the water but are not allowed to be motionless on the sand because of the curb on beach commerce, which requires all vendors to keep moving and bans stalls as well as sunbeds and umbrellas.
However, many jet-skis were stationary on the sand at Patong beach when Phuketwan walked the beach on Sunday.
Who is responsible for enforcing the Army's edict that jet-skis are not allowed on the beach? The question was asked at a special meeting about Phuket issues at Patong council offices yesterday.
