The Thai Land Department has set up a committee to investigate the alleged illegal issuance of a land title deed for a small plot of land on the uninhabited islet of Nui Nok, in the Koh Lanta district of the southern coastal province of Krabi.

 

The department has also lodged a complaint with the police in Krabi province against officials and others who were suspected to be involved in the land scam.

 

Director-general of Land Department Nisit Chansomwong said today (Thursday) that the formation of the investigating committee is intended to uncover the truth behind the issuance of the land tittle deed, covering about 0.8 hectares on the islet, adding that the panel has been given 15 days to finish the probe.

That happened on the island where we live , too .

A big piece of 41 rai ( we wanted to buy this , but could not as it was not possible to contact the owner , who died and no contact data for who inherited this plot was available ) .

Suddenly  a neighbor claimed it as theirs , built a fence around it , but in Land office , no change of the owner was registered .

A few days ago we received a letter from the land office telling us that the new owner is this neighbor now , who , apparently , knows ( and pays ) somebody in the land office .

Is there a government phone number where somebody can report suspicious land deals ?

Ohhh those bent officials again, selling title deeds that don't really exist.
