Royal Forest Department Reclaims Nui Beach on 130th Anniversary
The Thai Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has successfully reclaimed Nui Beach, marking a significant milestone during the Royal Forest Department's 130th anniversary celebrations.
On September 18, 2026, Matichon Online reported that Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Suchart, led an initiative to reclaim Nui Beach as part of the Royal Forest Department’s 130th-anniversary commemorations. The operation is framed as a major step toward restoring public access and environmental balance between local communities and forest areas.
For residents and travelers, this development is significant as it signals a shift in the management of coastal areas previously under dispute. The reclamation aims to ensure that natural resources are preserved while fostering a sustainable relationship between human activity and the environment.
While the government has successfully reclaimed the site, specific details regarding future public access, potential infrastructure changes, or new regulations for visitors remain to be confirmed. Travelers planning to visit Nui Beach should monitor local announcements, as the status of commercial operations or beach facilities may be subject to change following this administrative transition. The Ministry continues to emphasize its commitment to forest conservation and the equitable use of public land.
