Knights and his colleagues travel the world identifying local police and rangers who are attempting to stop the poachers.
Knights noted that preventing all exploitation of a species was often not a viable option.
I tried to imagine Peter Knights, an urbane Englishman who was absolutely focused on his work, trekking the wilds of Russia with the Rangers, or venturing through the mangroves of the Galapagos Islands in a patrol boat he procured for the Park Services, in search of illegal fishing operations.

 Bangkok Dangerous (THAILAND 2000)
Though Bangkok Dangerous explores the seedy underbelly of the professional assassin gig, it would be a mistake to compare (as some critics have) this Pang Brothers flick to the crime films of John Woo and Quentin Tarantino.
Whereas the crooks of Woo's films are majestic, dark knights and the hoods of Tarantino's movies are manic pop culture junkies, the Pang brothers' killers are a different breed altogether.
While there is one scene in Bangkok Dangerous that clearly apes a popular Chow Yun-Fat moment in Woo's A Better Tomorrow, the Oxide brothers make a nifty addition to the sequence that sets it apart from its predecessor, a touch that solidifes the brotherly bond of Kong and Joe in cinematic fashion.

 Bangkok Pundit
The Bangkok Post and The Nation used to be two of the spunkiest and most professional English language newspapers in Asia, and it's a big disappointment that in the present crisis they should have abandoned any pretence of balance to become little more than propaganda sheets for the anti-Thaksin movement (emphasis added).
It was intelligence, from a "worried member of the Muslim community", which led to an investigation and the whole plot unravelling.
On 17 July 2006, the Army Comander-in Chief Gen Sonthi Boonyaratglin, described by the Bangkok Post as a "Prem loyalist" and who was in attendance for Prem's speech, ordered the transfer of a large number of military officers.

Two Newsweek writers, one at least a long-time resident ofthe City of Angels (literal translation of Grung Thep, the Thai capital's official Thai name), who say in the magazine's current issue that the Thai economy is in a shambles and the only growth industries are sex and golf.
Meanwhile, GDP per capita in Bangkok and vicinity was 225,743 baht, or nearly ten times the Northeast average.
Concomitant with such economic misery, partly accounting for it and partly caused by it, educational standards in the Northeast are abysmally low: many children drop out after grade 4; few make it beyond grade 6.

However, this turned to sour grapes when Firebird released Fist + in 1988, which was a shamelessly awful clone of IK+.
Late in 1987 came Bangkok Knights, a kick boxing game more than anything else, with huge sprites, sampled speech and slow gameplay, but it was pretty fun to play.
The main reason that it got any publicity at all was that System 3 paid many UK computer magazine journalists to go over to Thailand and actually watch some Thai boxing for real.

Going back to the Thai question, I wonder if part of the perceived seediness of the Asia-ophiles doesn't have something to do with the sex tourism trade in Southeast Asia.
I remember reading a book called Bangkok Knights, a large part of which concerned the problems that the expat author and his friends had in conducting relationships with normal, middle-class Thai women.
It seemed everywhere the couples went the other Thais could not accept that this was a genuine relationship and not some form of prostitution.
