Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has ordered police and relevant agencies to inspect suspected nominee landholdings nationwide, following concerns over Chinese-linked capital acquiring large plots in the Eastern Economic Corridor to develop illegal industrial estates.
Key facts
- Anutin rejected claims that illegal industrial estates could be operating in the EEC, saying any such development would require official approval, utility systems and compliance with multiple legal conditions before it could proceed.
- Thailand’s VNL 2026 fate on the line as bottom-ranked team faces relegation and 2027 exclusion
- He said the establishment of an industrial estate was subject to strict legal procedures and could not be carried out informally or outside the law
