The Army spokesperson clarified that Boom Panadda's husband has not been granted permission to use the land. There is no record of approval for private lease of the state property from the Treasury Department. Further investigation is ongoing, and the 2nd Infantry Battalion, 2nd Cavalry Regiment has already filed a police report.
On 27 Oct 2026 GMT+7, Major General Winthai Suwaree, the Army spokesperson, explained the case involving Mr. Athip Anantawan, husband of Boom Panadda Wongpudi, using land under Army control related to a resort and trail running course in Nakhon Nayok Province. The land is state property held by the Army, with the 12th Military Circle as the land administration unit and the 2nd Infantry Battalion, 2nd Cavalry Regiment as the user unit. Initial findings show unauthorized use without Army permission and no approval for private lease from the Treasury Department. Further details are under investigation.
Major General Winthai further revealed that on 25 Oct 2026 GMT+7, the 12th Military Circle held a meeting with relevant government agencies at the Sri Ka Ang Subdistrict Administrative Organization in Ban Na District, Nakhon Nayok. They found many people were using the area without permission. Specifically, the unit responsible for the land, the 2nd Infantry Battalion, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, has already filed a police report to proceed with legal actions accordingly.
Additionally, Major General Winthai said that overall, the issue of unauthorized use of Army land, which is state property under Army control, has been ongoing. The Army has focused on community engagement to raise awareness and seek public cooperation. Legal actions such as official police reports have been few so far. The Army, together with relevant agencies, aims to systematically resolve land use problems to ensure lawful use by the public through initiatives like the Nong Wua So Model and the Treasury Assists the People Project to organize land utilization.
