Army Files Complaint Over Alleged Encroachment on State Land in Nakhon Nayok
The Royal Thai Army has initiated legal action regarding a resort and trail project linked to the husband of celebrity Panadda 'Boom' Wongphudee, citing unauthorized use of state property.
According to a report by Thai Post on October 27, 2026, the Royal Thai Army (RTA) has filed a formal police complaint concerning the alleged encroachment of state-owned land in Nakhon Nayok province. The dispute involves a resort and a trail running facility associated with the husband of well-known Thai celebrity Panadda 'Boom' Wongphudee.
An RTA spokesperson clarified that the military has not granted permission for the use of the land in question. Furthermore, there is currently no record of an approval for a private entity to lease this Treasury Department land. The 2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Regiment (King's Guard) has officially reported the matter to local police to initiate a formal investigation.
For residents and visitors, this situation highlights ongoing regulatory scrutiny regarding land use in protected or state-owned areas. While the project is currently under investigation, it remains unclear whether the facilities will be forced to cease operations or if retroactive permits could be sought. Authorities are continuing their review of the land records to determine the extent of the alleged encroachment. Stakeholders are advised to monitor official updates, as the legal status of the property remains unconfirmed and subject to further administrative and judicial review.
