Chaiwat ordered transferred from Ubon Ratchathani to Pattani province

14 Sept 01:51 Key points summarised by AI

Former Kaeng Krachan national park chief Chaiwat Limlikhit-akson has been transferred from Ubon Ratchathani to Pattani province to assist in forest protection, with the ministry citing his toughness and experience.
The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) formally requested the Criminal Court to revoke Chaiwat's bail, along with three other suspects, in the case of missing Karen activist Porlajee “Billy” Rakchongcharoen.
DSI claims Chaiwat's refusal to testify to investigators while speaking to the media about the case could constitute evidence tampering, hindering their investigation.
The DSI also proposed alternative bail conditions, including a ban on suspects speaking to the media or entering Kaeng Krachan national park, with the court scheduled to decide on November 25th.
