Cop told to stop building
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- A policeman being probed over his claim to land in Trang's Sikao district says he will lodge a complaint at the Administrative Court today after the Hat Chao Mai National Park ordered him to stop construction of an entrance to the property.

Park head Manoch Wongsurirat, accompanied by soldiers, yesterday told Lt-Colonel Sathit Chansorn to halt the construction pending an investigation into whether his claim to have continuously used the land and his application for land ownership was legitimate.

Sathit insisted he had not done anything wrong.

good for Manoch Wongsurirat ... hope he doesn't lose his job

good for Manoch Wongsurirat ... hope he doesn't lose his job

Or worse.....he's playing with the big boys now.....!

Not to difficult to have proof of ownership of the land, no chanote, no construction,

Let the investigation play out and if all is above board then play on, no need for making threats

When did he acquire this land?

from whom did her acquire this land?

must be on one great salary...

One wonders what documentation this top cop has , if they had records in their computer, paper files, they wouldn't be out there questioning, as for issuing a complaint well that's just kids stuff, just play the game pal like everybody else, come down a level or too, you are not that important as you think.

must be on one great salary...

Yep, same as the Army ones, how do they do it?

Well, I'd look for a) FMV fair market value and proof of actual payment with subesequent spending of the monies by the seller. Not just a one-off transaction and a cash withdrawal an hour later of the full amount.

What makes this a lucratyive deal?

How much is such a higher ranked cop earning? Just wondering.

He's claiming it's his through historical use. A lot of land has been grabbed this way.

Didn't the PM just say they could come from wealthy families or maybe married a wealthy wife ?

He has said a lot of bizarre things just lately. Next.

Yeah, and did some of the top military brass submit a case to avoid to check their assets and make them public?

Corruption is so endemic that I cannot see an end of it in the short-medium term...

Oh and RTP is a real farce...Lots of examples in last weeks, if we really needed any.

on old documents not so easy. Someone just issued an illegal chanote 30 years ago.....what is than? Is it chanote or is it invalid? Specially when the land was already sold several times and the last buyer could not know that the document was wrongly issued.

At least the legitimacy of his ownership has to be proven and that is a start, regardless of the outcome!

A small glimmer of hope for the country perhaps?

It seems since Koh Tao debacle the RTP has been imploding Bent on self destruction. Just issue one bullet each and end this madness.

Is anyone really as important as they think?

must be on one great salary...

Why?

He claims to have "continuously used the land" which suggests that the land had been abandoned by it's owner which in Thailand is a perfectly legitimate method of aquiring ownership after a number of years, without having to buy the land.

Well, he could be mistaken in thinking he has.

The head of the Hat Chao Mai national park certainly seems to believe this is the case.

"Since the Koh Tao debacle"

Has been going on for centuries!!

And in this particular case, it is the old antagonism between the army and the police surfacing again!

How many decades did it take him to decide to upgrade the entrance way. Maybe his Illegal bar business is getting better.

Is this a form of homesteading Thai style? Drill a water well and the land is considered developed and taxable.

from whom did her acquire this land?

Not that easy here...if you have continuously been using a piece of land for over 10 years and no-one has told you to get off that piece of land, you can claim that piece of land as your land. Better if you fence it off for that 10 years... In Cambodia you can fence a piece of land and if no-one else claims that land in only 2 years... that land is yours.. Welcome to the land of free land.

I get the idea the land is part of the National Park. He is suggesting that he has been using the land for some time, therefore it's his right to keep it.

This is a similar situation to the National Park near Korat a couple of years ago, where people built resorts. They were told to pull the buildings down.

must be on one great salary...

Yep, same as the Army ones, how do they do it?

Same as politicians especially the PTP.

Or even Tarit the ex DSI chief who didn't seem to know about the building on forestry land even though the access road, water and electricity went through his land?

How do they get to be so rich?

best job in thailand: buy yourself a badge and do how you please and collect from others, aka protection money
