Two persons were arrested yesterday (Mar 5) after police and soldiers at a road checkpoint in Mae Tha district of Lamphun found live banded rat snakes and slaughtered water monitors in their pickup truck. Both are protected animals under the wildlife protection law.

 

According to Pol Capt Sirichai Taipakorn, deputy suppression inspector at Mae Tha police station, the pickup truck was ordered to stop for search after it had suspecious cargo on its bed covered with metal roof.

 

As authorities searched the blue shading nets which were covered under piles of blank fruit baskets, they found five bags. Inside all the bags were 25 live banded rat snakes, each snake was about 1-3 metre long, he said.

I didn't know there were monitors up here.

There are indeed monitors in the north of Thailand.
