Six Families Trapped in Dead-End Area Forced to Climb Over Fence
Six families in Ang Thong Province are forced to climb fences to access their homes after a landowner blocked the only exit route with a brick barrier, following their complaint to the Ombudsman's Office.
Residents of six homes in a dead-end area are forced to climb over fences to enter and exit their homes after filing a complaint with the Ombudsman's Office, as the landowner has now blocked access with a fence.
On July 29, 2569, reporters visited six homes in Moo 2, Sala Daeng Subdistrict, Muang District, Ang Thong Province. The area is a dead-end with no road access, housing approximately 20 residents who must now climb fences to leave. After residents filed a complaint with the Ombudsman's Office, which promised to mediate on August 5, the landowner constructed a brick fence, completely blocking the path. Residents now fear trespassing accusations and must use ladders to access their homes. The six houses are surrounded by fences from the Provincial Commerce Office, Provincial Fisheries Office, Provincial Industry Office, and private land.
When interviewed, 49-year-old Thanyakamon reported that after filing the complaint, the Ombudsman's Office promised to arrange a meeting to find a solution on August 5. However, the landowner built the brick fence barrier before that date, leaving no way out. Residents must use ladders to enter and exit, and they fear trespassing charges. One house has a bedridden patient, so she is asking government agencies to intervene and negotiate to open an access route until a permanent solution is found.
Muang District Chief Raksak Tianchaya met with the residents and coordinated with the landowner to temporarily open an access route the next day. The district is seeking to establish a permanent public route using a government property road near the Provincial Commerce Office and Provincial Fisheries Office for future access.
