reader Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 From Simply Flying A Taiwanese man is facing charges after being caught smuggling live animals in his pants at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) in Bangkok last week. Authorities discovered three animals – two otters and a prairie dog taped under the traveler's boxer shorts after security guards became suspicious of a prominent, wobbling bulge below his waist. It comes after another animal smuggling incident occurred at the same airport two months ago. Thailand has reportedly been a hotspot for illegal wildlife trafficking of various animals into China. According to Newsflare, the 22-year-old man was traveling from Bangkok to Taipei, Taiwan, on Thai Airways flight 632 on December 5. Prior to arriving at BKK and checking in for his flight, the traveler bought the animals from a market in Bangkok and crammed them underneath his pants. Going through the international outbound zone 2 passenger security checkpoint, staff reportedly raised concerns about the man's "unusually large package" that was moving below his waist, prompting them to notify colleagues operating the X-ray machines.

Going through the international outbound zone 2 passenger security checkpoint, staff reportedly raised concerns about the man's "unusually large package" that was moving below his waist, prompting them to notify colleagues operating the X-ray machines. They stopped the passenger and held him for scans, which revealed the live critters teetering around under his pants. Officers then pulled the man aside to conduct a strip search and discovered the two Asian small-clawed otters and a prairie dog concealed in black socks and taped beneath the man's designer boxer shorts. The passenger was taken into custody and missed his flight. He was reportedly arrested at 9:05, according to Phakkapong Phathong, the airport's Animal Quarantine Chief, while his flight to Taoyuan International Airport in Taipei on a Boeing 777-300ER departed at 08:15. The passenger was reportedly detained at BKK's Police Station and faces charges of violating sections of Thailand's Customs Act, Animal Epidemics Act, and Animal Conservation and Protection Act. The rescued animals were handed over to the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, where they were treated by the Wildlife Conservation Office. alvnv and khaolakguy 2 Quote
khaolakguy Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 Very brave and foolish! I still have a scar on my finger from a friendly otter, there is no way i would place one, let alone two, close to more sensitive parts. Of course "Taiwanese man with unusually large package" will always draw attention on a gay website! reader and 10tazione 2 Quote
