On October 26, 2026, media reported complaints from residents of a housing project in Kantarawichai district, Maha Sarakham province, after multiple occupants raised concerns about a central garden area and a road alignment that could affect their homes. The project currently comprises 114 households. Residents are demanding the project owner and relevant agencies inspect the site and provide a clear explanation.
Homeowners question the pre-sale disclosures and the project's transparency following confusion that has persisted for years. The entrance road advertised in promotions does not exist, and information about a road cutting through the village land was allegedly withheld. Residents have sought clarification for years without response, until those living along the proposed road alignment began suffering depression and deteriorating mental health over several years, prompting them to appeal to authorities for a fact-finding investigation amid fears of an uncertain residential future.

This issue has caused severe mental health decline for Mr. A and his wife due to worry that the road may encroach on their property. Other homeowners facing the same fate reviewed their map documents and found road alignments that could significantly impact residential areas, fearing loss of land or greater impact than anticipated. However, the exact road boundaries and true impacts must await official verification from authorized agencies and relevant title documents to confirm the facts.
Mr. B (pseudonym), another resident, said he chose this house for privacy, as only two other houses were nearby and the adjacent land had no other houses, making it seem ideal for relaxation after work. During the period he...
