A woman s attempt to sell a vast piece of island parkland for 350 million baht could backfire on her.
The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) is investigating a Facebook post in which the woman tried to sell the 298-rai (47-hectare) piece of land on Koh Wai island in Trat s Mu Koh Chang Marine National Park. The department has checked the total amount of land on Koh Wai island and we found it is impossible for anyone to own 298 rai plots in the national park, said Damras Phoprasit, the department s director-general. We now know the identity of the person who posted this and we will launch an investigation.
