Sereepisuth Appears in Buriram Court Over Khao Kradong Defamation Case

On August 17, 2026, Pol. Gen. Sereepisuth Temeeyaves appeared at the Buriram Provincial Court for a scheduled preliminary hearing. The court session, which lasted over three hours, stems from a defamation lawsuit initiated by Newin Chidchob. The legal action is linked to ongoing public disputes regarding the ownership and status of the Khao Kradong land area.

Following the hearing, Pol. Gen. Sereepisuth publicly suggested that the land in question should be returned, questioning the necessity of the ongoing legal resistance.

For residents and visitors, this case highlights a high-profile legal conflict involving prominent figures and land rights in Buriram province. While the Khao Kradong area is a well-known landmark, the legal proceedings underscore the complexity of land tenure issues in the region.

It remains to be confirmed how the court will rule on the merits of the defamation claim and whether the preliminary hearing will lead to a full trial. As this is an active legal matter, the final resolution regarding both the defamation allegations and the underlying land dispute remains pending.
