I was talking to a neighbour (who owns his house but is a regular but infrequent visitor) about this yesterday and he was saying that plans had been approved and his place was on the route and would be compulsory purchased. The immediate neighbour he said would also be affected as would our house. We rent and have heard nothing from the owners or the immediate neighbour who we see frequently.
I can read maps but cannot determine exactly where the planned road will join the Pala U road and more relevant to me, how it will affect the Phutawan/Kirinakara area.
Previous posts have said that the large map can be viewed at the Hin Lek Fai administration office. Where is this or the other place it can be seen and is there any clear map with an overlay that would make it easier to see exactly what properties will be affected. I guess that this will not happen for a while but regardless would prefer not to rely on second hand information or wait to be suddenly told that I would have to move. The last post on this was a while ago so has anyone heard any updates (okay, second hand info but it gives me something to start with).
We own a house at Mongkol Resort, and in the beginning of the year we were called to a meeting about the planned 2 new roads. If I understood it correctly, the 6 lane highway was planned so it would go on the south side of Mongkol Resort (on the mountain slope) and would affect only a couple of properties.....apart from the noise and pollution. Whereas the ring road would cut right through to middle of the resort, meaning that the houses on the 2 most northern soi's would be demolished. and (again if I understood it correctly) both Mon Mai and the Khiri Nakara areas would be affected by the ring road. One of the problems with the governments planning here was, that the original owner of the whole of Mongkol Resort never informed the authorities about that he had sold approx. 100 plots and it was now a residential area...he is still a major owner in the resort....So on the government's maps it is a agricultural area, so easy to plan a road through "the pineapple field"....The reason for the owner not changing = Tax avoidance.
All of the owners appealed against the plans, by filling in complaint form with attached pictures of the actual properties and delivered them to the planning office in Prachuap.
We have a very competent and influential Thai in charge of our appeals, so I doubt very much, that anything have been approved without us being informed....(?)
As for going to the Hin Lek Fai office...we did it....Either they didn't know, what we were talking about or they had no interest in sharing it with us....Complete waste of time.
