Khaosod Online Thailand One source

Authorities in Nakhon Nayok are set to conclude an investigation into a local official's alleged involvement in a land sale dispute concerning a trail running track.

On November 3, 2026, officials in Ban Na District, Nakhon Nayok province, are expected to submit a final report regarding a land dispute involving the use of state-owned property. The investigation centers on the signature of the Sri Ka-ang sub-district headman, which appeared on documents related to the sale of land used for a trail running track developed by Atip Anantawan, the husband of celebrity Panadda Wongphudee. Following an urgent directive from the deputy governor of Nakhon Nayok, local authorities were given a seven-day window to verify the facts surrounding the transaction. The Ban Na district clerk confirmed that the sub-district headman has been questioned and remains in the area, despite reports of significant personal distress and concerns regarding his safety. While the official has expressed a willingness to cooperate and clarify his role in the matter, he has reportedly been deeply affected by the public scrutiny. For residents and visitors, this case highlights ongoing efforts by provincial authorities to ensure the proper management of state land. The upcoming report is expected to provide clarity on whether the land usage was authorized and if the sub-district headman acted within his official capacity. Until the report is released, the extent of any potential legal implications remains to be confirmed.
