Atthaphon Charoenchansa

Atthaphon Charoenchansa is the director of the National Parks Administration in Thailand. He has recently been in the news for ordering the temporary evacuation of wildlife reserves and national parks in the northeastern region of Thailand, allowing the military to establish bases in response to escalating tensions and armed conflicts between Thailand and Cambodia. His decision reflects the ongoing crisis along the disputed border, where military activities have intensified, leading to civilian evacuations and closures of schools.
