Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra defended her mother’s property rights and business practices on Tuesday, saying they are completely legitimate after they were subject to intense attention during a protracted discussion.
Ms. Paetongtarn addressed the opponent’s inquiries about the validity of the area where her family-owned, luxurious hotel, Thames Valley Khao Yai, is located, explaining that all of her business operations are run in total compliance with the law.
She noted that some of the problems raised in the argument were connected to people in previous administrations, and that she was unable to provide any responses. She continued, noting that the appropriate agencies had now clarified this.
Thirajchai Phantumas, a People’s Party MP for Bangkok, questioned how the president’s home acquired the story that houses the lavish hotel in the Lam Takhong self-help lawsuit, which was established in 1970 for people who had fled the dam’s building, on the second day of the debate.
According to Mr. Thirajchai, community residents were given up to 50 ray each, along with Nor Khor 3 land use permits, which would be issued after five years. If certain requirements were met, the paperwork may be upgraded to complete title deeds.
But, Mr. Thirajchai claimed that the tale had been designated as a “watershed area” and that no land ownership records may be obtained. To support his claim, he provided a copy of a map created by the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency ( Gistda ) from the Department of Land.
He claimed that the land records were created in 1996 while a Shinawatra part served as deputy prime minister. A family member was prime minister at the time the property was subdivided into four narratives in 2012.
Both Ms. Paetongtarn’s dad, Thaksin, and her aunt, Yingluck, are now top.
According to Mr. Thirajchai, the self-help town’s standing was not changed, so the property could not be used for business purposes unless specifically authorised.
On the next day of the Tuesday condemnation conversation, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra responds to questions. On Wednesday, a voting will be held. ( Photo: Nutthawat Wichieanbut )
