According to the official data, Myanmar exported less than 150,000 m 3 of overall timber products to <strong>Thailand</strong><br />
via the sea in 2009, mostly in the form of logs and sawnwood. However, if significant amounts of Myanmar<br />
sawnwood are entering <strong>Thailand</strong> via Malaysia and are labeled as Malaysian wood, these numbers would be<br />
possibly underestimated. Furthermore, there is still an existing problem with wood being imported overland<br />
from Myanmar through unofficial border crossing, which may not be taken into account in official <strong>Thailand</strong> statistics.<br />
