Phradon Questions Whether Serei's Constitutional Court Petition on Khao Krajom is Political Gamesmanship or Legitimate Action
General Serei seeks constitutional court intervention over alleged inaction by PM Anutin and Interior Minister Chayachon regarding Khao Krajom land seizure, prompting Prime Minister's Office Minister Phradon to question whether the petition
On May 18, 2025, at Government House, Phradon Parisnanantakul, Prime Minister's Office Minister and Thai Pride Party leader, addressed the case of General Serei Temiyawes, a Free Unionist Party list MP, who is preparing to petition the Constitutional Court. The petition seeks to determine whether PM Anutin Charnvirakul and Interior Minister Chayachon Chidchob violated ethics standards by failing to act on seizing Khao Krajom land, which Serei claims is his legal right to pursue through proper procedures. Phradon stated that the land return process is currently at the stage where the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is filing lawsuits against individual plot holders, which are proceeding through the justice system. When asked whether the constitutional court petition at this time would impact the Prime Minister, Phradon said the justice process would continue regardless. He added that while Serei has the right to pursue a removal effort if he has concerns, whether such action can succeed depends on what the constitution and laws allow. When asked if this constitutes political gamesmanship, Phradon suggested that question should be directed to Serei himself.
