Lawyer Follows Up on Khao Kradong Land Dispute Investigation
Attorney Phattharapong Suphakson has requested an update from the Department of Special Investigation regarding the long-standing Khao Kradong land dispute.
On October 22, 2026, attorney Phattharapong Suphakson, known as 'Lawyer Aun,' visited the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) at the Government Complex in Bangkok to demand progress on the Khao Kradong land dispute in Buriram province.
Lawyer Aun expressed frustration that while other cases, such as the one involving MP 'Idea,' were assigned investigation numbers within a single day, the Khao Kradong case has remained without an official investigation number for five to six months. He is urging authorities to expedite the process to ensure transparency and accountability regarding the public land in question.
Additionally, the attorney submitted a formal request for witness protection. He claims to have faced harassment and rights violations related to his involvement in this case and other legal matters, including a case involving eight individuals accused of collusion and money laundering. He also indicated plans to file counter-lawsuits for false accusations against those who have targeted him.
For residents and travelers, this development highlights ongoing legal tensions surrounding land rights in Buriram. While the case is currently a matter of administrative and legal procedure, it remains to be seen when the DSI will officially assign an investigation number and how the request for witness protection will be handled. Further updates are expected as the DSI reviews the submitted documentation.
