A team representing Phuket MP Chalermpong Saengdee visited the site, in Moo 2, Rawai, on Monday (May 26) to inspect the construction site of ‘VIP Galaxy Villa’, a two-storey reinforced concrete residential project, MP Chalermpong reported in a post online.
The visit followed complaints from nearby residents in Moo 6, who reported that construction site runoff had caused mud to slide into adjacent public areas, MP Chalermpong explained.
Initial findings revealed that the construction had already been ordered to halt by Rawai Municipality as of May 8, 2025.
The developer was given 15 days to rectify the issues. Despite the suspension, the project contractor submitted a new construction permit application on May 23.
The municipality cited several violations leading to the suspension, including excavation deeper than three metres and creating an earthen slope covering more than 10,000 square meters without notifying local authorities.
Additionally, the project raised land elevation higher than adjacent properties without required permits.
So far officials have made no mention of legal action against the developer for breach of construction laws.
