Sereepisuth Visits Buriram to Gather Evidence in Defamation Case Against Newin

On July 30, 2026, Thai Post reported that Sereepisuth Temeeyaves, accompanied by his legal team, conducted a second site inspection in Buriram province. This visit is part of his ongoing defense against a defamation and false reporting lawsuit filed by Newin Chidchob. The legal conflict centers on allegations regarding the encroachment of land belonging to the State Railway of Thailand at Khao Kradong.

During the inspection, Sereepisuth’s team examined the area and identified signs of excavation work, specifically noting the reopening of a waterway that had previously been filled in, which he claims encroached upon a public drainage canal. Sereepisuth stated that he intends to proceed with the legal battle rather than seek mediation, asserting that he will only consider reconciliation if Newin Chidchob acknowledges the alleged encroachment on railway property.

For residents and visitors, this high-profile legal dispute highlights ongoing tensions regarding land rights and public infrastructure in the region. While the site inspection provides Sereepisuth with additional documentation for his defense, the case remains active in the judicial system. It is yet to be confirmed how the court will evaluate the evidence gathered during these inspections or whether the parties will eventually reach a settlement. Observers should note that this is a private legal matter, and the final determination of land ownership and defamation claims rests solely with the Thai judiciary.
