Customs officials in Thailand have intercepted a truck carrying a shipment of around 600 live cobras. The truck, which is believed to have been taking the snakes onto Laos, was stopped in central Prachuap Khiri Khan province after a tip off. The snakes are believed to have been heading to Laos as part of a growing trade in illegal wildlife trafficking passing through Thailand to neighboring countries including Vietnam and China.
