Teak Harvested in Thailand

Thailand - A raftsman numbers, seals and catalogs each log as it joins the raft. Each log is worth between 3 and 4 hundred pounds and a raft totals wood worth lb40, 000. Jumbo is still superior to the tractor in the Siamese teak forest but the raftsmen have to beware of thieves stealing the logs. Thieves working in frogmen's suits, cut out a log underwater and float it away by night to saw mills. Scores of logs are lost each season in this way from under the eyes of the raftsmen who live in huts built on the floating logs
