TV reporter Nila given until July 15 to demolish resort on park land

TV reporter Nila given until July 15 to demolish resort on park land

A resort that had allegedly encroached on forestland belonging to the Pha Taem National Park in Ubon Ratchathani’s Khong Chiam district has been given until July 15 to demolish its buildings and restore the area to its original state, said park head Nakarin Suthattho on Sunday.

Nakarin said his office had filed a police complaint against Ban Mai Hom resort on November 25, 2015 resulting in the provincial court’s later ruling that the resort was located on state-owned land. The resort owner and television news reporter Nila Singkhiri was deemed to have no ill-intention because she had bought the land from another person, resulting in the dismissal of a criminal case against her.

But the court ordered Nila and the land’s occupants to vacate, demolish structures and restore the area to its original state by November 30, 2017
 Nila officially requested a postponement of the demolition order pending her appeal hearing, then appealed the case to the Ubon Ratchathani Administrative Court in February in order to get a court injunction against the resort demolition. That court issued an order on May 23 dismissing Nila’s request for injunction.
The park then issued the latest order for Nila to proceed with the resort’s demolition and restoration of the land back to its original state by July 15, said Nakarin.
If she fails to do so, officials will proceed to demolish the structures and issue a bill reflecting the demolition costs for her to pay, he said.
