Hi - I live 6mths in Buriram province and 6mths in UK most years. Currently I am carrying out research into the wildlife trade in Thailand (and bordering countries). This will be done simply to assess the impact of trade and not to target individual dealers. I also understand that some rural Thais depend on sustainable harvest of wildlife as an important source of income. I am focussed mainly on the trade in primates.

My request is for information on locations of where primates (and other wildlife) are traded in Thailand and also at border markets. Any help you can give me on this will be hugely appreciated and the resulting paper will acknowledge your contribution (if you agree to this - some prefer to remain anonymous). The paper will hopefully be published by Oxford University in UK.

Thank you for reading.

I don't know if it is still the case, but earlier this year watching a BBC world news item. They said a lucrative trade was operated between Ranong and Burma/Myanmar across the water in long tail boats.
