Community Heir Demands 1.5 Million per Rai for Road Access to Health Centre
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A long-running community access road to a rural health centre in Nakhon Sawan province has been suddenly barricaded, causing severe disruption to local residents and patients, after a landowner claimed inheritance rights and demanded the hospital pay 1.5 million baht per rai, to continue using the route. The dispute centres around the entrance road to the Ban Makluea Subdistrict Health Promotion Hospital, located in Mueang district. Local villagers contacted the press after barbed wire and warning signs were erected to block the concrete road that has been in use since 1997. The landowner, a woman who runs a nearby petrol station, claimed the road lies on private property she inherited from her father and has since restricted access. She has told hospital authorities that the only way to restore access is to purchase the land at her proposed price. In the meantime, residents and patients, many of whom are elderly or disabled, are forced to use an alternative route through a rough, muddy dirt path behind Wat Tha Charoen Phatthana School, some 500 metres away. The track is impassable by car and only accessible by motorcycle, posing serious safety and accessibility issues. “This road has been the lifeline for villagers and patients for nearly 30 years,” said Mrs. Wasinan Homchan, director of the health centre. “Dozens to hundreds of people come for treatment daily, many using walking aids or wheelchairs. The detour is simply not suitable.” In response, local authorities have tried to mitigate the impact. The Ban Makluea Subdistrict Administrative Organisation has deployed golf carts to ferry patients as close to the health centre as possible. Village health volunteers (Aor Sor Mor) are also stationed along the route to assist those needing help navigating the difficult terrain. District Chief Mr. Ronakorn Phaowicharn has now intervened, confirming that earlier negotiations with the landowner failed. He has instructed officials to compile all relevant documents and submit them to the provincial office. Legal proceedings will follow, starting with a request for a temporary court injunction and eventually a formal claim under “servitude law”, which, if successful, would declare the route a public thoroughfare. If that legal route proves unsuccessful, authorities say they may be forced to pursue further court action in the public interest. Local residents have pleaded with the landowner to reconsider, citing the hardship faced by the elderly and sick. “We’re just asking for compassion,” said one elderly patient. “This road has helped save lives for decades. Blocking it now hurts the whole community.” The case has sparked debate nationwide about land rights versus public good, especially in rural areas where communities often rely on informal arrangements that date back generations.

Crime Man High on Meth Arrested After Hijacking Taxi and Fleeing to Hotel
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 35-year-old man has been arrested by highway police after hijacking a taxi at knifepoint in Ayutthaya and fleeing to a hotel in Nonthaburi. The suspect, who was under the influence of methamphetamine, now faces multiple charges. The arrest was carried out following an order from Police Major General Kongkrit Lertsitthikul, commander of the Highway Police Division, instructing Police Colonel Kuekkong Disawat and other officers to coordinate with Bang Ban Police Station in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya. The suspect, identified as Mr. Akkharasin or “Beam”, was taken into custody at a hotel in Bang Rak Phatthana, Bang Bua Thong District, Nonthaburi. He was charged with robbery causing physical or mental harm, possession and use of a Category 1 narcotic (methamphetamine), and illegal drug possession. Items seized included a brown shoulder bag, two mobile phones, six methamphetamine pills and a green-yellow Toyota Altis taxi. The incident began when a 71-year-old taxi driver reported being hired by the suspect for a 700-baht fare from Bang Duea Subdistrict in Pathum Thani to Bang Chani Subdistrict in Ayutthaya. Upon reaching a secluded area, the suspect used a nail clipper as a weapon and attempted to strangle the driver while demanding 1,000 baht. A struggle ensued, during which the victim was thrown out of the vehicle. The suspect then drove off in the stolen taxi, heading toward Nonthaburi. Local police forces were alerted and an extensive manhunt led to his location at the hotel. Upon questioning, the suspect confessed to the crime. He admitted abandoning the stolen taxi at a shopping mall car park in Nonthaburi, which was subsequently recovered by police. He also revealed he had purchased seven meth pills for 300 baht from a dealer known as “Nang Fon” in Bang Rak Phatthana, and had consumed one pill prior to the robbery. Mr. Akkharasin was handed over to Bang Ban Police Station to face legal proceedings. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-23.
