Inspired by the case of enforced disappearance of an ethnic Karen activist Porlajee Rakchongcharoen (a.k.a.

Park authorities arrested the Karen activist on April 17, 2014 for possessing a wild honeycomb and six bottles of wild honey but released him after giving a warning. He disappeared shortly afterward.
