‘Encroacher’ arrested for construction in Phuket hills

Naraporn Tuarob

PHUKET: A suspected encroacher on Forestry Reserve land was arrested yesterday (May 14) in the hills above Kamala, where he was in the process of constructing six buildings.


Officials examine the foundations of one of the six buildings being constructed on the land in he Kamala Hills.
Siripong Leeprasith, Assistant District Officer of Kathu, said local people had heard the sound of construction going on around Kuan Yak Peak in the Kamala Hills.

“When we got to the site we found a backhoe being used to level the ground. When the driver saw us he ran away.

“But the ‘owner’, Chalee Kuenoon, was there. He showed us a SorKor1 land paper which he said proved the land belongs to him. But the land area stated in the paper is only half a rai whereas the area he said he was going to convert to property is around eight rai.

“Up the hill we saw his house and camps for the construction workers, along with six buildings at various stages of construction.”

Officials also found a pile of Takien Sai lumber which Ms Chalee said was being stored on site by someone else. Officials did not believe him.

Mr Chalee was taken to Kamala Police Station to be charged with encroachment, transforming land in a preserved area without a permit, and possession of protected timber without the required licences.

“For the land document we need to find out whether it was issued legitimately or not.”

True. Just settle this by meeting in the middle. Give the guy 4 rai and officials take the other 4, and everyone wins...

But the land area stated in the paper is only half a rai whereas the area he said he was going to convert to property is around eight rai.

Give the guy a break, he did not finish his Phd yet.

Greedy land grabbing sonsabitches. They think cause they were raised there it gives them the land entitlement.
