Phuket officials order demolition of mansion with Patong Bay views

Eakkapop Thongtub

 

 

PHUKET:-- The owner of a mansion located on the headland south of Patong, with stunning views back across Patong Bay, has been given 30 days to remove all structures from 69-rai plot of land, likely worth more than a billion baht, on which the home stands.

 

The order was posted today (Mar 9) by officials from the Phuket Agriculture Land Reform Office (ALRO), led by ALRO Phuket legal representative Sutthawat Narksawart.

 

Soldiers based in Phuket, led by Gen Aryuphan Gannasoot from Royal Thai Army Region 4, which is responsible for all of Southern Thailand, provided security.

 

The task force of abut 20 law-enforcement officers, including Patong Police, posted a large sign at the front gate the mansion that announced that the land had been reclaimed by the Phuket ALRO office and warned against encroaching on the land.

 

The sign included a large image of the SorPorKor deed issued for the plot.

 

The notice explained, “The Supreme Court has ruled that this area covers land previously claimed by Banlue Tantiwit. The Supreme Court ruled that Mr Banlue had no right to this land.

 

“Hence, the ALRO Phuket office reclaims this land as government SorPorKor land.”

 

SorPorKor land is government-owned land handed over to poor farmers to use in order to make a living. SorPorKor titles, administered by the ALRO confer only a right to use the land; ownership is never handed over to individuals.

 

The officials today also posted handbill notices on the property’s perimeter wall next to the front gate and explained to the notice to the property’s caretaker, who officials identified only as “Mr Pairote”.

He should by fined the equivalent lease for that period as well

Its not idiocy, its the ignorance and belief that they are untouchable. Im sure he knew the land is sorporkor, and what that means. Im sure he also paid a large donation to the land office to bypass those laws. 

 

Its fair enough him losing his house/land. I wonder if they will follow it up and investigate into how he got this land, cos im certain he didn't just rock up, stick a flag down and start building a mansion...

Seems the SC decision came out way back in 2007.

For the Tantiwit case, the prosecution petitioned the eviction of businessman Banlue Tantiwit on the grounds that he had wrongfully declared himself a farmer in order to put his name on the land reform program.
K. Banlue, former president of the Phuket Provincial Administration Organization (OrBorJor), died of a heart attack in October 2001.
His heiress, Arunrat Sawatthong, inherited the plot and thus became defendant.

“We have evidence that this land was private property long before adjoining plot of 69 rai was allocated as SorPorKor land. There is a even a mango tree that proves this,” the lawyer said.
A Mango tree? A Mango tree that proves the land was private property? I cant wait to hear it give evidence.

Poor farmers on land worth more than a billion Baht.  Nothing unusual about that.

The "Well-To-Do" here have to be flexible to move from "color to color" (red,yellow,blue,pink,etc) to keep their ill gotten land deals as different governments take over.Of course when the Army is in charge ,any color is suspect. hehehe
