The six photos in the report don't show any 'torching' at an incinerator, just an earthmover trashing some items in a car park, but not totally destroying all of them by any means.

the good stuff they took aside.

Can't they trash finally Phuket tuk tuks ?

Squashing the empty boxes and plastic bags, good to see that they are recycling the waste.

Running over mostly empty boxes I am sure. 

what happen to the other trillion baht of copy items 555 its a Joke 

So 3,000 items averaging 3,333b each.i would say it's more like 3,000 items valued at 10-20b each.

Seems a dreadful waste. Wouldn't it make more sense to recycle such goods to deserving causes, or auction them and donate the proceeds to charity?
