NONG KHAI -- A man was arrested at the customs checkpoint of the Thai-Lao Friendship bridge while attempting to smuggle a small tank of nitrogen containing frozen human semen into Laos on Thursday. Nimit Saeng-ampai, chief of the Nong Khai customs, said Mr Nithinon had been under watch because he travelled frequently to and from Laos through the Nong Khai immigration checkpoint in Muang district. On Thursday, as Mr Nithinon was about to cross over the bridge to Laos, he was called for a bagge examination. The customs officials found in it a tank of nitrogen containing six vials of human semen. Mr Nithinon was charged with violating the law on medical breeding technology, which prohibits the sale, import or export of semen, eggs or embryos.
