Phuket officials have launched legal action against the operator of a condominium in Wichit subdistrict after an inspection found the property was allegedly offering rooms for daily rental without a hotel licence. Officials said they found rooms being rented to guests daily, which may constitute operating a hotel without a licence under the Hotel Act. During the inspection, officials found staff at the property but said neither the owner nor the manager was present. Under Thai law, anyone offering accommodation on a daily basis as a hotel business must first obtain a hotel operating licence. Officials said six encroachment cases involving Sirinat National Park are currently being expedited.
