In February 1990, I saw eight horns for sale in Vientiane's jewellery and antique shops. I was told that most horns come from Laotian animals and that some pieces were quite old. The average retail price per kilo was $16,594. Almost all the buyers of rhino products in Vientiane are Thai businessmen who bring the horns and nails back home with them to sell. No government authority attempts to stop them from illegally importing these rhino products.
