DSI suspects deadly foul play in B1.4bn Phuket land swindle

PHUKET: Department of Special Investigation (DSI) Deputy Chief Lt Col Prawut Wongsrinil suspects that a Phuket man’s death “might not have been an accident” amid a B1.4 billion land swindle for a plot with “sea views” on the island’s east coast.

 

Col Prawut revealed the news while DSI and forestry officials inspected the plots in question, near Mission Hills Phuket golf course, in Pa Khlok, Thalang, yesterday (Sept 29).

 

The investigation was launched after Rorma Wonglee, 80, alleged that a second SorKor 1land document had been issued using the same registration number as the SorKor 1 that her family had been issued for their family land.

1.4 billion baht dodgy deal - who would think there might be some 'deadly' foul play .... neeeeever

A man who has died in an "accident" had agreed, just before his death, to sell 1.4 Billion bahts worth of land for 14 million, without the knowledge of any of his family? Yes, I would say that it definitely warrants some close attention as this sounds seriously implausible. The level of greed and disregard for life here never ceases to amaze me and I suspect this is another example of that.

Hopefully we'll be enlightened of the outcome......but this is big money....so I don't expect too much coming into the media.

Someone with access to tanks and troops should consider doing a coup and rid Thailand of all the corruption going on.

 

Off course that would mean they have to kick out the current rulers who have access to tanks and troops and who also promised to rid Thailand of all the corruption going on.

 

I predict a vacious circle coming up...

100 million a rai in Pa Khlok?  Not sure that's a correct assessment for some land in the hills.

Welcome to Prayutistan! The epicenter of Bahtism, corruption and inactive posts.

It is all talk but no action!

Why do we never see these land officials being prosecuted in the courts. 

They no full well about the fake documents and the land scams, but never seem to get prosecuted. 

I'm always baffled by these land issues

 

- chanotes bear their loads of signature (officials); how is it they can't solve the issue of genuineness between two documents in a matter of minutes

- I guess the land departments keeps its own records.. same conclusion as above: cleared within minutes

- how can a land that has a status of "protected forest" have a market value of 100MTHB/rai? birdwatchers clubs?

This has to be a first, the Thai police actually admitting that a someone dying in mysterious circumstances may have been murder.

In the usual cul de sac or should we say in the brown paper bag.

Too much money floating around to get any sort of conviction on this one. 

Go on develop it all with resorts, condos, bars and massage parlors.

See if the zero baht tourists are interested.

Did you mean vacuous or vicious? Either adjective will do.

True, what you read has absolutely no similarity to what actually happens in reality

Gotta hand it to those DSI folks. 

 

Real Sherlock Holmes' of Thailand types. Who would have ever guessed!

 

Now let's see how many years, if ever, it takes for the elderly lady in this case to get her land rights restored to her.

 

The Government should confiscate the land and deem it National Forest land without building permission in perpetuity!

Has the land official that died (got murdered) in the DSI cell block nothing to do with this case ???

Clearly must have been a typo. 1.4 billion divided by 140 rai is 10 million per rai. Still on the high side for that area but not crazy. Maybe protected forest land is valued higher :)

Yep. But remember the billionaire who died in a somewhat circumspect car accident, shortly after transferring billions to the driver, his pregnant mistress (who the driver/bf denied even knowing) and another floozy? The victims family knew nothing of the transfer, the Stock exchange found evidence of fraud in the transactions, and they even got Toyota experts over from Japan to confirm the car his a tree at very low speed.

 

Well that all seems to have disappeared when the local area prosecutor simply refused to press charges. The driver was an ex high ranking policeman and ex MP - which of cause had nothing to do with the decision!

 

 

What happens in Phuket .... stays in Phuket !
