Court-Ordered Demolition at Vimarn Mist Mansion Halfway Complete
Demolition of the illegal Vimarn Mist mansion in Khao Yai National Park has reached 50 percent completion following a court order, with heavy rains slowing progress in restoring the forest area.
Natural Resources and Environment Minister Sukhathit Chomkling announced on August 15, 2025, that demolition work at the Vimarn Mist mansion in Wang Nam Khiao District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, has progressed to approximately 50 percent completion. The case, which has a final court judgment, involves removing all illegal structures and restoring the forest area within Khao Yai National Park. The property heir's representative submitted a formal request on August 6, 2025, to carry out the demolition and began work following the court enforcement notice on July 20, 2025.
Official monitoring as of August 15 confirmed that demolition work is about halfway complete. Heavy rainfall in the area has slowed progress and affected site access. Sukhathit stated that the ministry is committed to ensuring all operations comply with the law and relevant procedures. He instructed Khao Yai National Park officials to closely monitor the ongoing demolition work, taking into account site conditions, so that operations can proceed smoothly and in accordance with legal requirements.
