“Supachai” expressed frustration over the prolonged Khao Kradong saga, emphasizing that most of the land belongs to local residents, not politicians. All agencies have fully complied with the law and are now awaiting the Buriram court's ruling to revoke over 200 land titles. He expects the matter to conclude within two years.,
On 10 June 2026, Mr. Supachai Jaisamut, party-list MP of Bhumjaithai Party and the party's legal representative, posted on his personal Facebook page expressing his strong agreement with correcting widespread misunderstandings about Khao Kradong. Many mistakenly believe the land is on a mountain, but in fact it is flat suburban land within an economic zone. They wrongly think most land is owned by prominent politicians, while in reality over 4,800 rai belong to poor local residents and only about 200 rai belong to politicians. It is misunderstood that the Supreme Court ordered all land titles revoked; in fact, revocation applies only to 35 plaintiffs, not others. Another misconception is that the railway land is royal land granted by King Rama V, but actually it is vacant land used by the railway with no royal grant involved. Some believe the land is reserved under the Vacant Public Land Act, but the land dates back to 1921, before that law was enacted in 1938. There is confusion that the Supreme Court ruled all 5,083 rai belong to the railway; actually, the ruling only identified the land of the 35 plaintiffs as railway land, and other plots have only been indicated but not yet proven.
There is a misunderstanding that Mr. Chai Chidchob signed a lease with the railway on railway land. The truth is Mr. Chai owns one plot of his own, about 6 rai, located within railway property, used for his home, leased normally without relation to other plots. People mistakenly believe the Department of Lands issued land titles on railway land, but the Department issued titles before knowing it was railway land. At that time, even the railway was unaware and only later claimed the land as theirs, after which no further titles were issued. Some think those who issued land titles are guilty of crimes and should be imprisoned, but those involved have mostly passed away, and the remaining individuals are over 90 years old; the titles were issued long ago, not recently.
Supachai further explained that it is misunderstood that the Central Administrative Court ordered the Department of Lands to revoke land titles. In fact, the court dismissed the case. The railway had filed a lawsuit asking the court to order revocation, but the court instructed the Department of Lands to investigate each title under Section 61. If any title was issued improperly, it must be revoked. After a full investigation, the committee concluded there was insufficient clear and convincing evidence to revoke titles and decided against revocation. It is misunderstood that the Department of Lands can still revoke titles, but in reality, the Department no longer has authority as it has completed the process and decided not to revoke. It is also misunderstood that locals are trespassing on state land, but locals have legal titles and no proof has shown the land is state property. Some believe the Department of Lands can immediately revoke titles, but currently, the only way is through individual court rulings on revocation. The railway has filed lawsuits accordingly, and all parties have fulfilled their duties.
"At the beginning of 2026, the railway filed lawsuits to revoke titles on important plots, approximately 200 parcels, in the Khao Kradong area. The case is now under consideration by the Buriram Provincial Court, which is the only available legal channel. All parties have completed their responsibilities. We can only wait for the court’s decision. Whatever the outcome, this saga will truly end within two years. There are many other matters to follow, but we are tired of this one and want it to be over."
