The National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department provides arms training for wildlife protection

The National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department makes it clear that its arms training in Saraburi has nothing to do with politics.

Department chief Damrong Pidej (ดำรงค์ พิเดช) said the arms training of 1,400 officials at Khao Sam Lan (เขาสามหลั่น) in Saraburi was a routine practice and did not have anything to do with the current political problems.

Mr. Damrong said officials are trained to use weapons for prevention of illegal hunting of wildlife and illegal trade of wildlife meat in five provinces bordering Cambodia.
