Interior Ministry orders revocation of land in Buri Ram, including Chang Arena

10 Sept 17:42 Key points summarised by AI

The Interior Ministry has ordered the Land Department to revoke land title deeds and occupation rights for approximately 800 hectares at Khao Kradong, Buri Ram.
This directive specifically targets 20 plots, including the Chang Arena and Chang International Circuit, owned by the Chidchob family, which were deemed illegally acquired.
The decision is based on Supreme Court (2018) and Central Administrative Court (2023) rulings that confirm the entire 800 hectares belong to the State Railway of Thailand (SRT).
Interior Minister Phumtham Wechayachai stated the move aims to correct past injustices, investigating why the Land Department previously failed to enforce court rulings, potentially due to political influence.
