Siam Rath reported on a judgment from the Administrative Court in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, in a high profile forestry land encroachment case.

 

The office of the Court of Justice took the Treasury Department to court over the construction of a housing estate on just over 143 rai of land in Don Kaeo, Mae Rim.

 

It was alleged that houses and administrative offices were in part constructed on land belonging to the Doi Suthep national park.

 

The court has decided that this is not the case and the land is in fact outside the park area and the Treasury Department were within their rights.

Did they reach this decision after consulting maps or after being bought off?

Redraw the maps , everything OK now , but the Army

have taken over the houses , will the judges be allowed

to move in.

The court desided the housing estate of the court is not illegal? I can't see any flaw in that...

That's probably those vacation homes for judges and court personnel the government built a few years back...

A few more tree left standing between houses would have been nicer.

Whether or not it was in protected land would have been obvious from the very beginning. Lines on a map tend to rather east to see. The fact this unsurprisingly reversal of the original judgement took so long suggests strongly that something dodgy took place. I mean, judges deciding whether judges' exclusive hillside compound is legal or not was only ever going to go one way. 

Chiang Mai judges find that lovely housing estate built for Chiang Mai judges in Mae Rim is legal.
