Not many country Thais will walk away from an offer like that, gunship or not.

Wouldn't a few roadblocks, manned with "reliable" soldiers, stop this ?
Reliable soldiers are elsewhere, border troops and forestry guys are locals, they get a cut. Plus a lot of the timber goes over to Lao [land border] to China.

Unless they bring troops from outside the area, there is no way to stop it, sad, but the money is just to big and everyones on the take. Jim
