Geoffggi Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 “Warayuth Mayer, 39, claimed that he was hired by Rung Nok Satun-Trang Ltd to protect the company's birds’ nest concession on Koh Li Pi,” If employed by Rung Nok Satun-Trang Ltd, why did the captain not approach the company and request they obtain a registered firearm for use in scaring poachers from the island, then he would not have been in this mess..!!!
