Authorities have begun demolishing the Rai Nai Resort that was prosecuted for building accommodations and Chinese-style pavilion on state land.
The owners refused to comply with a court order to dismantle their resort, so the government moved in with bulldozers of its own.
The Doi Mon Jam forest is a watershed area where 30 resorts have been found encroaching on the national park. Seven of those so far have progressed to the demolition stage.
