Chairs are priced at 30 baht per chair for locals but tourists are being overcharged by more than double the price in most cases.
Butsaba yesterday invited representatives from 22 shops and restaurants nearby the beach to discuss the matter.
Each representative admitted that they did overcharge the tourists, adding that they needed to do so because food and equipment costs had increased, as had employee wages.
They pleaded with the authorities to let them increase the chair rental price but Butsaba refused their request saying that the price they were charging was too expensive. She suggested an alternative solution of trying to encourage tourists to order more food.
