Most of the Thai's that I have spoken too say that selling sps is illegal. That being said, softies are easy to find and I have seen lps for sale in Bangkok. Also after a long conversation with one merchant she said that they do get sps once and a while and would call me when she had some if I was interested.
I think the main thing is that the Thai government doesn't want the reef's in Thailand to be plundered so have made it illegal to remove the coral from them. Most Thai's wouldn't think of importing coral as they have it at their doorstep.
Overall I need to do more research into the legal end of it and see if it's worth it (or even possable) to import sps.
I have found a shop that brings in live rock from Indonesia 3 times a month. They also have clams and a good selection of softies and fish.
