Supachai affirmed that the land owned by 'Pu Chai' is unrelated to the 5,083-rai Khao Kradong land case, stating they are separate matters. Regarding the case, he said they are awaiting the court's decision following the State Railway of Thailand's (SRT) parcel-by-parcel lawsuits, and warned against citing the Supreme Court's ruling as a blanket judgment.
On 9 June 2026 at the Bhumjaithai Party, Supachai Jaisamut, party-list MP and Bhumjaithai's legal affairs representative, commented on the Khao Kradong land issue that has been explained multiple times before. He said society must await the civil court's verdict, as the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has been filing lawsuits against land titleholders in the area, covering 5,083 rai. He emphasized that the Supreme Court and judiciary rulings concerning 35 individuals who lost their cases do not affect the other 995 landowners with official land titles or Nor Sor 3 documents, as those documents were lawfully issued by the government. The facts and defenses differ between the 995 and the 35 cases, so the Supreme Court's judgment on the 35 individuals cannot be applied to the other 995.
Regarding administrative court rulings between SRT and the Department of Lands, the Central Administrative Court ruled that the Department of Lands must proceed according to Section 61 of the Land Code, which grants the Director-General of the Department authority to form a committee to investigate whether land titles issued to occupants were unlawfully or mistakenly granted. After the committee's review and hearing SRT's facts, SRT could not present maps confirming its land boundaries. Therefore, the Department of Lands had no grounds to revoke the land titles.
Currently, SRT has appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court against the Department of Lands' order, claiming it was unlawful; this is under consideration by the Supreme Administrative Court. Thus, a final ruling is pending. Meanwhile, the administrative court has never ruled on which specific land parcels encroach upon SRT land or by how much. Supachai clarified that land titles issued by the Department of Lands to citizens remain legally valid until the Supreme Court gives a final judgment. It is important to understand this clearly.
Supachai also addressed comments by Pol. Col. Tawee Sodsong, party-list MP and leader of the Prachachat Party, who criticized Supachai's stance. Supachai insisted that Tawee's views were incorrect. Tawee suggested using the Land Code effective from 1 December 1954, claiming SRT land had been protected from the start. However, there is no evidence or document showing that SRT's land was protected. Government land acquisition must occur through law, purchase, expropriation, or transfers between agencies, but SRT has no land titles proving ownership; it only claims to possess internal documents like Sor Kor 1 or maps.
Supachai explained, “The land was released by SRT itself without objection, while citizens applied for Nor Sor 3 or land titles. Conversely, in some parcels near railway tracks, SRT believed the land belonged to them, and citizens also assumed land within about 40 meters of the tracks belonged to SRT. Therefore, when citizens applied for land titles, SRT was invited to mark its boundaries. Many parcels had boundaries defined by SRT, and the issuance of Nor Sor 3 or land titles was recognized by SRT without objection. What is odd is that citizens, when occupying land they have legal rights to, must declare possession rights under the Land Code, which is their right. Government agencies must acquire land through other legal means. However, since the 1 December 1954 proclamation, possession rights were declared—something no government agency needs to do. Many citizens do not fully understand the law, and misinformation spreads online. I urge everyone to wait for the civil court's final verdict.”
Supachai further commented on a land contract involving Mr. Chai Chidchob, former Speaker of Parliament and Buriram MP, made with SRT in 1970. He confirmed that this land is unrelated to the 5,083-rai area but is adjacent to railway tracks near Mr. Chai's stone crusher. The land is used to stockpile stones for loading onto trains for construction or repair work on the northeastern railway line.
He added that some have tried to link Mr. Chai’s acknowledgment that only the land immediately adjacent to the tracks belongs to SRT—which the public accepts—to the entire 5,083 rai, which is unrelated. This has caused public confusion, with claims that 'Pu Chai' has acknowledged the land belongs to SRT, but his descendants have not.
“When Mr. Chai applied for a land title for his house in 2008, I saw the documentation as I have worked on this issue for a long time. SRT also marked its boundaries. These matters have confused the public, and some media have edited and reused certain footage and repeated phrases, causing misunderstandings. I also note that the Bhumjaithai Party has been subject to many defamatory attacks. Today, anyone who shares misinformation unknowingly I can understand. But if there is ill intent to harm the party, its leader, or anyone associated, I will pursue all legal actions against them—even media outlets. We must accept that many media distort partial facts, causing damage.”
A reporter noted that Supachai then showed his mobile phone displaying a news program from a TV channel, presenting a story titled "Revisiting the Arrest of Newin Shakes Thai Election Scene," and asserted that Mr. Newin was never arrested for election fraud in that incident.
Supachai criticized Seri Phisut, urging him not to falsely claim he had arrested Newin for election fraud.
Regarding Pol. Gen. Seri Phisut Temiyavet, party-list MP and leader of the Seri Ruam Thai Party, who claimed to have arrested Mr. Newin for election fraud, Supachai said this was illegal and he intends to take legal action. He also advised Mr. Newin to do the same because such careless and irresponsible statements made on a certain TV channel—which never researched the history properly—are false. The case never involved Newin’s arrest. Although Newin is not linked to the party, Supachai said the party would address the issue through legal counsel accordingly.
“Today, I will no longer tolerate defamatory posts or shares. Some things I may overlook—for example, images of feet placed in front of me—but beyond that, I will not tolerate it. If you act with common sense and are not paid by anyone, and are honestly mistaken, that’s understandable. But if you act with ill intent, I will pursue every case. Currently, there are about 30-35 cases. So, if you break the law, you must accept the consequences.”
