Remains of rare animals confiscated from high-end Sukhumvit hotel

Turtle shells of different species, skins of two Bengal tigers, three leopards and two clouded leopards, as well as tiger skeletons, were found put up as decorations around the premises.

The authorities confiscated everything after management was unable to provide permits for the possession of these items.

Initial investigation showed that the hotel is owned by Thai and foreign businessmen, who were not available when police arrived.

The illegal possession of wildlife remains violates Section 17 of the Wildlife Conservation and Protection Act, and further investigation will be conducted to prosecute those involved in the crime.
