They were charged with unauthorised hunting in a wildlife sanctuary, unauthorised hunting of protected wildlife, unauthorised possession of protected wildlife carcasses, illegally bringing hunting tools into a wildlife sanctuary, unauthorised collection of forest products and illegal possession of firearms. Asked by reporters if he visited Thungyai Naresuan frequently, Mr Premchai said this was only his second time. Gen Surasak also said Mr Premchai was not a VIP guest of park authorities and anyone who breaks the law must be dealt with by authorities. Mr Premchai and the three other people entered the wildlife sanctuary on Saturday. Withoon Yimprai, Mr Premchai's lawyer, said he was not worried about the case as Mr Premchai had nothing to do with the alleged hunting.
