National parks rangers have seized land in northern Thailand on which Homestay units were built in the vicinity of Doi Suthep-Pui national park.

Officials of a task force for the protection of national parks and wildlife; and officials of Doi Suthep-Pui National Park inspected seven plots of land hosting Homestay units. The units allegedly encroaching upon the national park in Mae Rim district of Chiang Mai province.

One plot of land with seven houses known as Baan Dao Bon Din Camping. It was investigated without any people claiming to occupy the land. A satellite picture taken in 2002 showed no trace of activity on the land. Another plot of land with nine houses was identified as Rai Fa Sai Homestay with cultivation of fruit plants on over five rai of land.

The officials seized both plots of land and filed charges with Mae Rim district police station. Police have also been ordered to initiate legal action against the owners of these Homestay units.

Doi Inthanon National Park chief Kritsiam Kongsri said plenty of sightseers were reveling in the experience.
