Authorities suspect state officials had put down their names as owners without permission, said Mr Prayong. If state officials had a hand in the wrongdoing, the offences must be reported, he said. Phu Rua district chief Kttikhun Butkun said Wat Pa Phu Rua was found to have occupied one or two plots out of the six in question.
