Officials from the National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department yesterday raided the fourrai Ban Suan Sukkho resort in Nakhon Ratchasima's Wang Nam Kheow district, the latest of nine resorts found to have encroached on Thap Lan National Park.
Park assistant chief Nuwat Leelapata led 10 officials in the raid who, after failing to locate the resort’s owner, measured the area and identified buildings for legal procedures and demolition by Wang Nam Kheow police.
