Officials inspect logs and timber found stored at a Buddhist temple in Kanchanaburi without the proper import documents. The temple insists the wood was brought into the country legally but investigators suspect otherwise. On Thursday, the temple was raided by police, military and the ministry's special task force on forest protection. According to forestry law, it is against the law to import wood from neighbouring countries. The department has given the abbot 30 days to present documentation verifying where this wood was obtained from.
