Donnythecat Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Hey, I'm looking to get some taxidermied and mounted bugs (specifically stick/leaf insects of the genus phasmatodea) as gifts for friends back home. I know they used to be sold at the night market in CM but I'm not sure if that's still the case during covid? Anyone know of where to get these things outside of night market hours? Looked on Lazada and Shopee but there wasn't much selection, really expensive as well. Any tips would be much appreciated, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer2021 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Not sure you're allowed to import/export them. I used to see them all the time on Lower Suk Bkk. Where are you taking/sending them to? Edited January 28, 2022 by The Hammer2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnythecat Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 Sending them to the US. I've mailed some before with no problem, they usually sell them at tourist places so I think it's pretty frequent that people travel with them. To my knowledge they're not endangered species or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trujillo Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 As you walk along the Sunday Walking Street, on the left is the first seller (if he is there) and this person is the most reasonably priced but mostly has butterflies. If you continue on there is a seller near the entrance to a temple on the left. She has lots of different things you will like (if she is there). Then again on the left, further down, is the last seller who has prices that are insultingly high; avoid him. There are no proscriptions against taking these into the USA.
