webfact Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Officers from Suvarnabhumi Animal Quarantine at Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok arrested a Taiwanese man for animal smuggling yesterday, December 5. Suvarnabhumi Animal Quarantine chief Phakkapong Phathong said officers received a report of a suspicious Taiwanese man at 9.05am that day. Officers suspected that the 22 year old Taiwanese man was concealing live animals in his clothing when he passed through an X-ray machine at an international departure checkpoint. The suspect was invited into a separate room for further investigation and officers eventually found three animals hidden in his boxer shorts. The three animals included a Parry dog and two Asian small-clawed otters, which are protected animals in Thailand. Pictures released by the authorities showed that the animals had been placed in three separate stockings. Each stocking was attached to the Taiwanese man’s wrist with plastic tape, and the man was wearing a bonnet to cover the animals. by Petch Petpailin Photo via Facebook/ กรมอุทยานแห่งชาติ สัตว์ป่า และพันธุ์พืช Full story: The Thaiger 2023-12-07 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
