Crime Authorities Seize Nearly 4,000 Rai of Illegally Occupied National Park Land in Hua Hin

Authorities have launched a crackdown on illegal land encroachment in Prachuap Khiri Khan, seizing more than 3,900 rai of state-owned and national park land allegedly occupied by the “Rai Hub Phueng” mango plantation in Hua Hin district. The case is set to be transferred to Thailand’s Department of Special Investigation (DSI) for further legal action as a special case. The operation, which took place between 8–9 July, was led by Mr Atthaphon Charoenchansa, Director-General of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation. A multi-agency team, including representatives from Kaeng Krachan National Park, the Royal Thai Army, anti-corruption police and the Treasury Department, jointly investigated the plantation located in Nong Phlap subdistrict. Initial findings indicate extensive illegal occupation of land within Kaeng Krachan National Park and government property under land code Por Kor 605, amounting to a combined area of approximately 3,952 rai. The investigation revealed that multiple plots were claimed using suspicious land documents (Nor Sor 3 Kor) and in some cases, no legal ownership documents existed at all. Officials identified and filed charges against 15 individuals, including Mr Sirirot, a director of a private company managing the plantation and other stakeholders. Charges include violations under the National Park Act (2019), the Forest Act (1941), the State Property Act (2019), the Thai Navigation Act (1913), and the Land Code. Mr Mongkol Chaiphakdee, Chief of Kaeng Krachan National Park, stated that the landowners had previously submitted documentation claiming legal ownership. However, following an analysis of aerial images and document cross-checks, it was found that certain Nor Sor 3 Kor titles were likely issued fraudulently. The Department of Lands is currently reviewing these titles for revocation. Investigators also found evidence of significant land alterations including hill excavation, landfilling and unauthorised infrastructure development such as telephone towers, all of which would require official permits. The alleged encroachment may also involve local officials, who could face scrutiny from the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) and the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC). As the size of the encroached land exceeds 100 rai, the case qualifies for DSI investigation under special case criteria, giving the department broader powers than the national park or regular police authorities. Mr Atthaphon reiterated that this operation aligns with the government’s commitment to combat forest encroachment and preserve Thailand’s natural resources. He cited direct orders from Dr Chalermchai Sri-on, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, to intensify enforcement efforts against forest land violations and illegal logging. “This enforcement sends a clear message, those who destroy our forests will be brought to justice. The state will act decisively to reclaim our natural heritage,” Mr Atthaphon declared. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-07-11 -

Crime Dramatic Drug Bust: Son of Local Politician Flees Police, Abandons Car Loaded with Narcotics
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. In a dramatic early-morning police operation, the son of a local politician escaped arrest after ramming a police vehicle and fleeing in a car later found abandoned and packed with illegal drugs. At approximately 07:00 on 9 July, officers from the Provincial Police Investigation Division of Nonthaburi, led by Pol. Lt. Col. Supachai Srisak and Pol. Capt. Ekaphan Phlayasrisawat, executed a court-approved search warrant at a residence in Sai Noi District, suspected of operating an illegal online gambling ring. As officers approached the property, a man dressed in black shorts and a black shirt exited the house. Officers noticed a bulge at his waist resembling a concealed weapon. The suspect quickly entered a white car, reversing out of the driveway in an attempt to flee. Officers revealed their identities and the warrant, attempting to open the locked vehicle. The suspect then reversed forcefully, colliding with a police vehicle and forcing officers to leap out of the way. In a bid to stop him, police fired at the tyres of the fleeing vehicle, managing to disable all four wheels. Despite the damage, the suspect continued to drive on deflated tyres and evaded capture. The abandoned vehicle was later discovered within the grounds of a local temple. A search of the car revealed a large haul of illegal drugs, including one kilogram of ketamine, 120.29 grams of crystal methamphetamine , 36,000 methamphetamine pills and 197 blister packs of so-called “date rape” pills, totalling 1,970 tablets. A mobile phone was also recovered. Authorities subsequently impounded a second white sedan found parked near the suspect’s residence for further examination. Police later executed the search warrant at the residence, where they questioned 61-year-old Mr. Det, who was present at the property. No further illegal substances were found. Through investigation, police identified the fleeing suspect as 30-year-old Mr. Phai, the son of a prominent local politician in Nonthaburi. Police are now compiling evidence to seek an arrest warrant from the Nonthaburi Provincial Court. Meanwhile, the investigation into the narcotics cache and its broader network is ongoing.
