Original text on this topic:
Despite the price (or because it), its sale is widespread; of 25 Chinese medicine shops visited in Bangkok, eight had a complete rhino horn (from which shavings are sold) and several others had fragments. A shop in Nakorn Ratsima, in north-east Thailand, had three complete horns, several fragments, and one complete rostrum skin of sumatrensis, with both horns still attached to the skin. This came from Chaiyaphum, according to the shopowner.
