KHON KAEN: The National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department on Wednesday registered a complaint against two men after staff at a mail delivery company office were shocked to receive a package sent from Phitsanulok that contained a live snake.

The box contained a four-metre king cobra, which is protected by law. Those found in possession of protected wildlife are subject to a fine of up to 500,000 baht and/or a jail term of up to five years.
