Former Kaeng Krachan National Park chief, Chaiwat Limlikhitaksorn, was sentenced to one year in prison for malfeasance in office concerning a park construction project.
The Criminal Court found Chaiwat guilty of failing to properly inspect the building after its completion, not for corruption, and he was released on Bt300,000 bail.
Chaiwat has a history of legal challenges, including previous involvement in the disappearance of Karen activist Porlajee “Billy” Rakchongcharoen and a recent dismissal from government service for disciplinary violations, both of which are under appeal.
