Alpine Golf Club Saga: Land Ownership Controversy and Shinawatra Family Ties in Pathum Thani

In a whirlwind of political intrigue and property entanglements, the Department of Lands (DoL) has found itself in the glare of public scrutiny regarding the Alpine Golf Club plot nestled in the heart of Pathum Thani. While rumor mills churn with tales of imminent title deed nullifications, DoL has declared firmly that this chapter remains unwritten. The envisioned plot twist, where private ownership of the Alpine land would revert to its monastic roots, remains safely encased within the realm of speculative fiction—for now.

The tantalizing suppositions, particularly those that would see the serene monastic property transformed back from its golf-club glitz, buzzed through news channels, sparking curiosity among the local populous and beyond. If such a conversion were to occur, compensation for residents of the chic housing complex and Alpine Golf & Sports Club Co would be in the cards, aligning with prognostications from the Isra News agency.

At the heart of Alpine’s ownership saga lies the Shinawatra family, the company’s current shareholders. Yet, as DoL director-general Pornpoth Penpas coolly reassures, the ink on any nullification order has yet to dry, or indeed, touch paper. With the ultimate authority residing with the deputy permanent secretary for the interior, the tale of Alpine’s ownership remains a slow-simmering pot over a steady flame.

The turn of the tide is attributed to an order allegedly penned by Chada Thaised, a figure of Bhumjaithai Party note, on September 3 of the earlier year. He supposedly signed the document to nullify the title deeds of Alpine, a dramatic parting gesture as his tenure as deputy interior minister waned. Nevertheless, the former monastic land remains caught in a legal limbo, its past clinging like mist to a rolling fairway.

DoL’s own master strategist, Mr. Pornpoth, muses over Mr. Chada’s legacy, suggesting the directive may have been more about highlighting caution in untangling such thorny issues. Yet, the ultimate checkmate lies with Chamnanwit Terat, the present deputy permanent secretary, who reigns over DoL’s fate with a watchful eye.

Adding layers to this opulent cake of players and plots is none other than Anutin Charnvirakul, who, despite his dominion as both Bhumjaithai leader and current interior minister, has yet to cast any public spells over the Alpine matter.

Among the tangled web of political lineage and financial interests stands Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, a previous shareholder in the Alpine Golf & Sports Club Co. Her portfolio, however, saw a timely handover to the matriarch, Khunying Potjaman na Pombejra, barely a day post Taser’s purported signing spree.

Now, the latest adventurous documentation of shareholders reads like a telephone directory of the Shinawatra family tree. Khunying Potjaman, Panthongtae Shinawatra, and Pinthongta Shinawatra Kunakornwong collectively amass nearly 75 million shares, casting a grand net over the company. As the political and golfing worlds turn their eyes to the horizon, the future of the Alpine land, much like a good mystery novel, remains a page-turner that readers—and stakeholders alike—are eager to see unfold.

    This whole Alpine saga smells of corruption. Land ownership laws should be more transparent!

    • golfguy_76 January 15, 2025

      I agree transparency is key. But isn’t it always like this when politics and money mingle?

      • Ali W. January 16, 2025

        It’s a shame, really. Golf clubs are supposed to be places of peace, not political battlegrounds.

    • jenny_bo January 15, 2025

      Totally! Shinawatras have been in and out of controversies forever.

      • politics_junkie January 16, 2025

        Guess some families just can’t stay out of the spotlight. But is it ever really about golf?

  2. Larry D January 15, 2025

    I’m curious, how does a once monastic land become a golf club anyway? Seems fishy?

    • K8-Traveler January 15, 2025

      Good question, Larry. You’d think they’d preserve such lands, but money talks, I guess.

      • Yvonne_P January 15, 2025

        Sadly, K8’s right. It always comes down to who can profit the most.

      • Larry D January 16, 2025

        Yeah, transforming holy land into luxury real estate feels wrong.

    • Bookworm22 January 15, 2025

      Title deeds and their conversions can be so sketchy. A lot happens behind closed doors!

  3. Arthur Z. January 15, 2025

    Let’s not jump to conclusions. We need more facts before judging the Shinawatras again.

    • Stefanie_R January 15, 2025

      But Arthur, past incidents make it hard not to suspect foul play.

      • Arthur Z. January 15, 2025

        Stefanie, agreed, history isn’t on their side, but still, innocent until proven guilty.

  4. K-POP_Fan4Life January 15, 2025

    OMG! So complicated! Why not just make it a public park or something? Everyone wins.

    • Hiker Dude January 16, 2025

      Nice idea, but who foots the bill? Management isn’t free.

      • K-POP_Fan4Life January 16, 2025

        True, but maybe govt can help? It should benefit everyone, right?

  5. grownup January 15, 2025

    It’s disturbing to see religious lands lost to such wealth games. Sad state of capitalist society.

  6. science_nut January 16, 2025

    Is this a legal issue, or more about political leeching off land rights?

    • Camilla_Tang January 16, 2025

      Likely both. Power structures control resources, legal or not.

  7. cheesefanatic January 16, 2025

    Wait, why do they own it anyway? Wasn’t it public? Confused here!

    • Bookworm22 January 16, 2025

      It wasn’t public, but originally monastic land—means it belonged to a monastic community.

  8. Matty January 16, 2025

    Isn’t there an ethical issue here too? Beyond the legal squabbles, it’s morally gray…

    • Hiker Dude January 16, 2025

      Morals don’t often play a part when there’s this much at stake.

      • Matty January 16, 2025

        Guess not. But why do people let this happen time and time again?

  9. mini_writer January 16, 2025

    Is Chada Thaised making a bold move or just being reckless? I can’t decide.

    • LoyalReader January 16, 2025

      Depends on who you ask. Some might see him as a hero bringing justice.

      • mini_writer January 16, 2025

        Or a villain stirring chaos. Context is significant here, I guess.

  10. ForeverYoung January 16, 2025

    Isn’t Anutin Charnvirakul supposed to act on major issues like this? His silence is deafening.

    • Leo57 January 16, 2025

      Could be strategic. Wait until things are clearer, perhaps?

  11. Trisha_H January 16, 2025

    Typically political! Someone always benefits from the confusion.

  12. Ryan_98 January 16, 2025

    I just want to know if the golfers care about this as much as the politicians.

    • green_grassman January 16, 2025

      Golfers care about their clubs, for sure. But who they’re paying is a big deal too.

  13. Patsy87 January 16, 2025

    We should focus on making sure housing residents aren’t left in the lurch.

    • helpfulFred January 16, 2025

      Right. Residents shouldn’t be victimized by the shifting ownership battles.

  14. HistoryBuff345 January 16, 2025

    It’s fascinating how history and modern greed intertwine on lands like these.

  15. ConcernedMom January 16, 2025

    What message does this send to our kids about values and respect for sacred spaces?

    • Joe January 16, 2025

      True, it’s a poor example. Respect for history is waning in these commercial times.
