St. Andrews must return public land, district official says

The deputy director of Bangkok’s Wattana district reiterated this morning that his office has ordered an international school to demolish structures built illegally on public land.

Deputy district director Chaiwat Rungsipanodorn told Coconuts that the demolition order issued late last year remained in force against St. Andrews International School, but he did not address questions about what if any work had been done to satisfy it, nor what steps his office was taking to enforce it.

“We already ordered the school to demolish part of its facilities,” Chaiwat said of a strip of public flood control land upon which city officials have said the school built structures illegally. He didn’t say more but rather indicated he was in a meeting and ended the call.
