By Thai PBS

 

 

Construction of the housing project for judges at the foot of Doi Suthep in Mae Rim district of Chiang Mai is going on as usual despite an order from Army Commander-in-Chief General Chalermchai Sitthisart to put the project on hold pending further examination of the project.

 

Ms Nittaya Watanachivakul, secretary of Region 5 Appeals Court, has maintained that there was not any order to stop or suspend the construction of housing project for judges of Region 5 Appeals Court.

 

She told the media on Wednesday that Maj-Gen Sathit Srisuwan, commander of the Chiang Mai-based 33rd Army Circle, in his capacity as the chief of the peace-keeping force in Chiang Mai visited the construction site at the foot of Doi Suthep mountain in Tambon Don Kaew on Wednesday.

‘Reasoning for.....’ This being Thailand I have removed the word ‘why’ from my vocabulary. Life is so much simpler now. The development however, is an eyesore and more than likely (although claimed not to) encroaches on the national park. 

 

 

This eyesore is a travesty that should never have even been thought about , let alone put into action. Shame on the instigators and the defenders, words don't even explain what they deserve.

The reasoning is that someone wants something that is unattainable for the majority. In this case they have made it happen. That someone is in the process of a huge misplaced "feel good factor". The fact that they are associated with the country's justice system is extremely worrying.

There has to be a "peace-keeping force" in Chiang Mai? Is this to counter the Northern Thailand insurgency?
