Chaiwat Limlikhit-aksorn – the national park chief known for his narrow escapes

Chaiwat Limlikhit-aksorn has courted danger and controversy many times in his civil service career, but so far, he’s come out on top. Lauded for taking tough action against forest encroachers, he was also charged with murdering two of their defenders. He was eventually acquitted in both cases, adding to his public image as a cat with nine lives.

But he found himself back in hot water again last month, when the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission [PACC] pushed for his dismissal over the torching of Karen villagers’ homes in Phetchaburi’s Kaeng Krachan National Park a decade ago. Chaiwat was the park’s chief at the time.

The PACC also reportedly said it would forward the case to public prosecutors.
