Man Gets Serious About Trespassers and Rubbish Tippers on his Land
by CityNews



CityNews – A man has set up large signs on his land warning people against dumping rubbish or trespassing on his land, threatening legal action for anyone who does.

On May 3, 54-year-old Charoen Chumpukam asked police to patrol his land after putting up his signs.

According to Charoen, he had brought the land in 2008 for 14 million baht but has yet to use the land. However, people often came to his land an camped illegally, made their home on his land and dumped their rubbish.

However, forest officials have recently placed markers to indicate land owned by forestry officials, which has created a visual barrier between forestry office land and his privately owned land.

In Texas we just put up signs that says "POSTED" and a few that just show a outline of a gun.

Here they just pull out a gun and shoot any one and every thing

In Australia we like to shoot the signs as they rarely shoot back ...

Why would taxpayer funded police patrol private property?

Charoen will need to hire his own security but I imagine the cost won't be worth it.

14 million bahts is a lot of bahts and more so back in 2008. Retired military possibly?

I get the message a lot more needs to be done in the art of organisational skills ,and a more modern fleet of rubbish trucks , not only here but most of Thailand , if people had proper sanitation pickup and better waste management facilities and for any large stuff around the remote village, mini skip bins provided , where they didn't have to dispose of rubbish themselves , maybe a lot of rubbish that the whole of Asia seems to attract, would be under a more controlled environment...............................

Uhhh, maybe because that's what police are supposed to do? Are they just supposed to protect public property? If your house is burglarized and you call the police

do you expect them to say "Sorry, this is private property, we have no jurisdiction here"?

Read again please.

His property was not burglarized nor vandalized. It's undeveloped property! Your analogy is misplaced.

He wants police to PATROL the property to prevent future dumping and camping at taxpayer expense.

From that perspective the police do not have jurisdiction. Police lack legal justification for their presence. Of course if he has influence, the NCPO can under Article 44 put police on the property for any purpose.

He can perhaps hire off-duty police as patrolmen. When they identify perpetrators they can immediately be arrested. But he may be liable for any adverse interaction off-duty police may have with offenders or any officers injured.
