Thai Army Investigates Unauthorized Land Use Involving Celebrity's Husband
The Royal Thai Army has confirmed that land used by the husband of celebrity Panadda 'Boom' Wongphudee in Nakhon Nayok lacks official authorization.
On October 27, 2026, the Royal Thai Army (RTA) addressed reports regarding land usage in Nakhon Nayok province, specifically concerning a resort and trail running facility operated by the husband of celebrity Panadda 'Boom' Wongphudee. Army spokesperson Maj. Gen. Winthai Suvaree stated that the site is located on state property under the jurisdiction of the 12th Military Circle (MC 12).
According to the RTA, preliminary investigations indicate that the land is being utilized without official permission from the military, and there is no record of a lease agreement with the Treasury Department. The Army noted that this is part of a broader, ongoing issue involving unauthorized encroachment on military-controlled state land. While the military has historically prioritized community engagement and cooperation to resolve such issues, they are now pursuing stricter legal measures against various encroachers.
For residents and visitors, this situation highlights the complexities of land tenure in Thailand, where state-owned properties may be subject to conflicting claims or unauthorized commercial development. The Army is currently conducting a detailed investigation into the specific case involving the celebrity's husband. Further details regarding potential legal actions or eviction processes remain to be confirmed as the military coordinates with relevant government agencies to resolve the status of the occupied land.
