BANGKOK, Nov 22 — Phuket has lifted the ban on beach weddings, Phuket Gazette reported yesterday.
Earlier this year, provincial authorities cracked down on private entrepreneurs to prevent them from using public beach areas for profit-making activities.
Vice Governor Chokdee Amornwat, who is responsible for establishing beach rules for the entire island, confirmed to the newspaper earlier this week that the ban was no longer applicable.
“As long as the photo shoot or ceremony doesn’t stake out a piece of the beach for private use, and such activities aren’t being held regularly by the same organizer as if they own the beach, then there should be no issues,” he was quoted as saying.
“These activities actually help us to promote Phuket, as long as they don’t detract from the experience of other beachgoers.”
