A funny thing. Back in 1996 I was going for a holiday to Thailand. To the coast, Aputathaya (spelling? - the old capital), Chang Mai and Chang Rai, and the Golden Triangle.
I thought why not see what hunting is available so checked an hunting encyclopaedia I had.
WOW!!!!
Elephant, lion, Asian rhino, species of deer etc etc etc
Fantastic.
Then thought. What is the date of this World Hunting Encyclopaedia?
Turned out to be 1967, even though I had bought it only a few years earlier.
I world of difference in that thirty years to the detriment of our natural lives.
During my holiday it was rare to see anything out of a fenced park that was wild. I think it mostly has been logged, poached, eaten, tamed, ground up into powder for stupid old mens vanities ... etc
These old stories are great though.

What wildlife did you see in Cambodia?
Is Cambodia still more "wild" and natural than Thailand?
