"If I don't do it, I will be found guilty of ignoring my duties".

More importantly, if he doesn't do it, there are just more examples of how laws can be ignored for the sake of a few.

More power to you, Mr. Domrong. Thailand needs far more people like you.

Could this be a case of a civil servant actually doing his job and protect the environment from shameless exploitation and greed? Seeing as he's about to retire, he doesn't have his career to worry about. Can't wait to see how this one plays out.
