rules and procedure prescribed in the ministerial regulations.

Unofficial translation, Office of the Council of State, as amended to Act No.13, B.E. 2556 (2013).

For the purposes of a survey, the competent officer and

workers shall have the power to enter the land of a person who has right thereto or a

possessor during daytime provided that prior notice is given. The person having right to land

or possessor shall provide reasonable assistance under the circumstances.

In case it is necessary to erect mapping controls on any person’s land, the

competent officer shall have the power to do so as necessary.

In carrying out a survey, if necessary, the competent officer shall have the

power to reasonably dig the ground, cut and trim branches of trees, or otherwise deal with

obstacles to the survey as necessary, taking into consideration causing least damage to the

owner.

Unofficial translation, Office of the Council of State, as amended to Act No.13, B.E. 2556 (2013).

No person except the competent officer shall destroy, alter,

move, or remove any boundary marks or mapping controls made or erected in any place by

the competent officer, unless permission has been obtained from the land official.

Unofficial translation, Office of the Council of State, as amended to Act No.13, B.E. 2556 (2013).

In case any person has to carry out any acts set out in Section

67, he shall file an application for permission with the land official.

In case the permission is refused, the owner of the land may appeal to the

Minister within fifteen days after knowing the order of refusal. The Minister shall give his

decision within sixty days after having received the appeal and his decision shall be final.

If the Minister does not give his decision within sixty days as specified in the

previous paragraph, permission shall be deemed to have been granted.

Unofficial translation, Office of the Council of State, as amended to Act No.13, B.E. 2556 (2013).

When it is appropriate to verify the land boundaries specified

in the cadastral map in any locality, the Provincial Governor shall announce such matter to

the persons having right to lands at least fifteen days in advance. The announcement shall

be made in writing and posted on the lands to inform concerned persons of the same and

an additional notice as to the day and time shall be given to the persons having right to

lands, and such persons shall escort the competent officer in the survey and verification of

land boundaries.

A person having right to land under the preceding paragraph may appoint a

representative to escort the competent officer in the survey and verification of boundaries

of his land.

For land whose boundaries have been verified, the land official shall have

the power to issue a new title deed to replace the original one, which shall be cancelled

and returned.

Unofficial translation, Office of the Council of State, as amended to Act No.13, B.E. 2556 (2013).

A person having right to land who specifically wishes to

have his own title deed’s land boundaries verified shall file an application for such purpose

together with the relevant title deed with the land official. The competent officer shall then

carry out a survey therefor.

In the survey, if it appears that the land occupied by such person is not in

accordance with the map or the area of land specified in the title deed, and where the

persons having right to adjacent lands have acknowledged the new boundaries, the land

official shall have the power to rectify the map or the area of land according to reality,

unless it is a connivance in order to avoid the application of law.

Where a person having right to adjacent land cannot be contacted to watch

out for the boundary line, or where the contact has been made by the competent officer,

but he fails to be present, or if he is present but refuses to sign to acknowledge the

boundary line without making any objection to the survey, the competent officer shall give

him a written notice stating that he shall either sign to acknowledge the boundary line or

make objection within thirty days as from the day the notice is given. If the person having

right to adjacent land fails to do anything within the said period, and the applicant has

certified that he has not led a survey to encroach upon the adjacent land and agrees to the

rectification of the map or the area of land according to reality, the land official shall

proceed in accordance with paragraph two without acknowledgement of the boundary line.

The contact made with or the notice given to the person having right to

adjacent land under paragraph three shall be in accordance with the rules and procedure

prescribed in the ministerial regulations.

If it appears that there is an objector, the land official shall have the power

to carry out investigation and to make a compromise using the map as the basis for

consideration. If the parties can reach agreement, it shall be proceeded as agreed, but it

must not be a connivance to avoid the application of law. If agreement cannot be reached,

the parties shall be notified to bring an action to the court within ninety days from the date

of being notified. If no action is brought to the court within the said period, it shall be

deemed that the applicant no longer wishes to verify the land boundaries of such title

deed.

Where a person having right to land specifically wishes to have the area of

land under his own certificate of utilization verified, he shall file an application for such

purpose together with the relevant certificate of utilization with the land official, and the

provisions of paragraph two, paragraph three, paragraph four and paragraph five shall apply

mutatis mutandis.

Unofficial translation, Office of the Council of State, as amended to Act No.13, B.E. 2556 (2013).

For the purposes of survey, the competent officer shall have

the power:

(1) to summon persons having right to adjacent lands to watch out for

the boundary lines and to sign to acknowledge the boundary lines of their own lands;

(2) to summon the persons concerned to give oral testimony or to

submit documents or any other evidence relating to the investigation.

Unofficial translation, Office of the Council of State, as amended to Act No.13, B.E. 2556 (2013).

The provisions of Section 66 and Section 70 shall apply

to land examination and investigation for the purpose of issuing a certificate of utilization

and verification of the area of land under the certificate of utilization mutatis mutandis.
