Supachai accuses Seripisut of distorting facts and disrespecting the court over the Khao Kradong land dispute. He condemns Seripisut’s behavior of challenging others to fights as unbecoming of a former national police chief, recalling that Seripisut was once involved in a case of encroaching on state land.
On 1 June 2026, Mr. Supachai Jaisamut, a party-list member of parliament for the Bhumjaithai Party, issued a statement regarding Pol. Gen. Seripisut Temiyaves, party-list MP and leader of the Seri Ruam Thai Party, who has been pursuing the Khao Kradong land dispute in Buriram province. This matter is currently under court consideration. Supachai described Seripisut’s actions as inappropriate for a member of parliament, noting that society already knows that local residents hold lawful land ownership documents, including title deeds and Nor Sor 3 certificates. He said there are two possible reasons for Seripisut’s stance: either a misunderstanding of the law or deliberate distortion of facts aimed at maligning honest individuals.
Mr. Supachai added that on 31 May 2026, Pol. Gen. Seripisut went to Buriram province, to the home of the landowner holding the title deed, and issued challenges to fight, even provoking police officers there. Such conduct, he said, is unbecoming of a member of parliament.
“Seripisut was once the national police chief, holding the rank of police general. Therefore, he should be conscious and understand that his actions are improper, infringing upon the authority of the judiciary. His blanket statement that everyone there is encroaching on state land is inaccurate, especially since the land titles have not been revoked and many cases are still under court consideration. Such statements bypass legal procedures, interfere with the justice process, and clearly disregard the rule of law.”
If everything were resolved as Pol. Gen. Seripisut claims, Mr. Supachai questions why the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) still files multiple civil lawsuits against residents and why the courts continue to accept and hear these cases. The answer, he said, is that the courts recognize that previous judgments are binding only on the parties involved in those cases. Others holding title deeds and legal ownership documents have the right to defend and prove their ownership according to the Civil Procedure Code, Section 145.
