Thread: DSI joins hunt for influential people behind plunder of birds nests

The director of the Special Case Operations Center, Area 9, of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), Pol Colonel Pipop Marohabout, visited the office of Siam Nest Company, and then walked to Niang Khoi Cave on Koh Thepada in Phatthalung province over damage to birds nests and their environmental impact.


Siam Nest Co, the winner of the auction of the 9th bird's nest concession in Phatthalung province at a price of 400 million baht, lodged the complaint after collecting bird's nests from various caves during September 9-16.


A group of criminals reportedly looted the bird's nests, cleaned the area and started a fire to chase away the birds, damaging the ecosystem. The person behind this crime is believed to be a former local politician.

Employees of Siam Nest Company told the investigators that the collection of bird nests from 107 caves in seven islands was completed on the evening of September 17. In the last cave, the remains of a dead baby bird were found on the ground. The company could only collect 60 grams of bird's nests, while in front of the cave they found a bonfire and trash such as water bottles, energy drink bottles, and white shoes.


Initial investigation showed that at least 1.5 million young bird's nests were destroyed and the damage was estimated at not less than a billion baht.

Good lord that is catastrophically sad

You have to wonder why so much destruction. Perhaps the influential person didn’t win the bid and wrecked the whole business. Hope he and his minions end up in jail.

What's more remarkable is that chinkies will pay top dollar to eat bird spit.

Can't they just use chicken gob, what's the fucking difference?

Agree I hope the angry birds poop on the perps who were described by a spokesperson as clitoris allsorts as they were not allowed publish a bvnch of khvntz

The theft is abhorrent, yet they were only stealing something that was going to be removed from the ecosystem anyway, under licence.

They are all vile.

Does the '9th bird's nest concession' mean there are eight others active or that this is the ninth year?

Not as abhorrent as eating regurgitated bird spit.
