All beaches in Thailand are public, there are no ' Private Beaches ', the only time it could be private is where there is no access to the beach apart from the owners land..
Many of us notice that beach land in Thailand appears to be used for all sorts of activities. The use of public property is a topical subject currently, and therefore it will be useful to provide information as to the legalities of using beach land for a better general factual and legal understanding of the issues,
The beach does not belong to private individuals or companies
The domain of the public state includes state property reserved for the public interest or for common benefit of the population, which includes beaches, according to Section 1304 of the Civil and Commercial Code. Further, any property, which forms part of the public domain, is inalienable, except by virtue of a special law, or a Royal Decree which means: you can’t sell, assign or deal commercially with beach land, without such special law.
