People carrying illegal ivory can be arrested at the airport or back home
Foreigners visiting Thailand have been advised not to buy elephant tusks or any ivory products, even if it is something as small as an earring or a bracelet. Offenders might face arrest in Thailand or at home if they are caught taking tusks or any other ivory product outside the Kingdom. This measure has been implemented under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in order to stamp out the international ivory trade. "You will be arrested at the airport in Thailand or in your original country if we find you are trying to carry ivory products outside the Kingdom," Theerapat Prayurasiddhi, deputy director general of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP), warned.
