Original text on this topic:
Medicines in Bangkok. The main trader we interviewed said that he buys from Thai dealers, who come to sell Sumatran rhino products, whenever he can but sometimes obtains products directly from poachers. The last occasion for this was in 1988 when he travelled deep into the forest of Kanchanaburi Province in western Thailand on the Burmese frontier and bought some hide. Since then, poachers have been unable to find any Sumatran rhinos there although the trader believes that some 20 are left in that region of Burma.
