Bangkok: The Phuket Protection Group has affirmed its commitment to joining forces against Jewish and foreign "grey" capital, announcing plans to demonstrate in front of the Israeli Embassy on September 7th. Representatives from the Phuket Land Protection Group, who have been actively working to protect local resources, are spearheading this initiative.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Saichol Noochet, a representative of the group, disclosed plans to travel to Bangkok to join Mr. Sondhi Limthongkul in advocating for the protection of Phuket's land from Israeli and other foreign investors involved in illicit activities that are perceived to be monopolizing the area. The issue of capital groups changing their nationality to acquire land and real estate has significantly impacted the lives and livelihoods of local residents. A previous attempt to raise these concerns with the government in late August was ignored, with no official representatives present to hear their grievances.
The group's participation in the September 7th event is intended to benefit the nation and future generations of Phuket residents, with an emphasis on a peaceful approach. The group has stated they have no hidden political agenda and will avoid street protests or actions that could incite unrest.
The Phuket Land Protection Group, a coalition of local citizens including hotel operators, taxi drivers, and tourism sector workers, officially launched their movement on August 28th. They have received substantial support from Phuket residents, who have been affected by foreign capital exploiting legal loopholes to conduct business.
In a separate development in Bang Khla District, Chachoengsao Province, villagers gathered to observe the situation at a site alleged to be a Jewish cemetery. Following a request from the Samet Tai Subdistrict Administrative Organization (SAO) to inspect land owned by a private company, officials found two blue tents and burial mounds within the site. This has raised concerns among local residents affected by odor and other issues, prompting calls for a public hearing to decide the cemetery's future use.
