Good luck with that! As with many things that are 'banned' in Thailand, people will keep doing it...

Birds in general, yes! But more pigeons.

Wood pigeons yes. Not so sure about the sh sorry city pigeons.

Is there a difference? Maybe just like house sparrows and hedge sparrows.

He said bird lovers ignored signs and fed the birds, which caused disturbances.

 

Yes good 

But what about all the complaining about soi dogs which caused disturbance and noisy too can we get a ban for dog lovers to feed the dogs??????

Only the male and annoying female Chinese. Some of the Chinese females are extremely hot and need another chance by being sat down over drinks explaining to them why they can't.

of course they will keep doing it as the law will never be effectively enforced. what i find bizarre is the fascination many locals have with feeding these creatures. back home we go to great efforts; nets, spikes, effectively banning feeding as deterrents, here they seem to want to encourage the birds to hang around. it's true what they say; this farang does not understand thailand.

The pics of the Viet plated pigeons make it pretty obvious are of a rare bred-for-the-table bald headed pigeon, not your common garden variety, commonly known as the city balcony shitters or temple defecators.
