PHUKET:-- A 55-year-old Taiwanese expat and his Thai wife have been charged under the new Wildlife Preservation and Protection Act after they were found in possession of 160 kilograms of corals at a lobster farm at their house in Koh Kaew.

 

Prajuap Mokarana, Head of Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) Marine Protection Division responsible for Phuket and Phang Nga, told The Phuket News that the charges follow his office receiving a tip-off at about 10am yesterday (Jan 19), telling his officers that a man was carrying corals in large buckets at a beach near Cape Panwa.

 

“We arrived at the scene and saw Mr Sheng-Mou Thou, 55, holding a bucket containing live corals. He saw us and told us in in Thai that he was releasing corals back to nature,” Mr Prajuap said.

I assume you wrote that from the UK?

 

- Over here (in Phuket) people leave their cars empty with the engine running (to keep the aircon going) while they go into the 7.

 

- Over here, there are mangos, coconuts, papaya etc. growing at the side of the road in easy reach, and no one touches them!

 

- Over here, the street vendors park their salongs in the road outside their homes - and don't bother unpacking them.

 

- Over here, you can leave your patio furniture out overnight.

 

..... just a few that spring to mind.
