The chief said that the patrols continued but the wood cutters kept coming.

 

They were not put off by fines of 500-1000 baht if there was not sufficient other evidence to convict them of more. 

 

This Laotian guy appeared to be in deep trouble - he had been going after many of the protected trees for their valuable wood.

It looks like his punishment is going to be a big gay Bukkake. 

"Laotian" ... what does that even mean?

How much wood would a woodcutter cut if a woodcutter could cut wood?
