Any body know what the spring loaded pipe ends are called for allowing water out , but closes when water pressure drops , so creatures cannot enter.

Check valve or perhaps non-return valve.

I don't know if mainstream consumer shops like Homepro or online merchants would carry something like this. I think you might need a specialty plumbing company. I see that some swimming pool suppliers and marine supply shops have some types of non-return valves, but these might not be the answer if you're just looking to prevent rats and snakes getting into a PVC drain pipe.

Try fixing a piece of nylon netting over the end of the pipe.

That doesnt work , as there is tree debris to contend with.

Looks something like this , but the one I am after just slots over existing pipe.image.thumb.png.cde36f4b20448b6a25f817b4a21983dc.png

Buy Wholesale China Automatic Rain Diverter Pvc Downspout Extension &  Downspout Extension at USD 3.6 | Global SourcesDo you mean something like this?

If the pipe size is not too big (1" approx) you can use one of these

 

These are the swing types. You also have spring ones but they need a pump

 

Any local hardware store should have these

 

If water stops flowing, they shut tight.

If you make this outlet higher above the ground it will not do the same? You can put something around the pipe end that blocks visitors.

Not sure if they have them in that size. Sorry

 

We have them installed in sizes up to 1 1/2" so maybe ???????

 

Edit: Is there a lot of water flow??

 

If not then you could always change the size of the pipe at the end to 1 1/2" and install one of those. Just a suggestion of course

An other idea. Perhaps you can build a kind of siphone.

If you google drain pipe flapper it comes up with a few types.

 

If you have handy man skills just buy a foot valve(available everywhere) and lighten the spring.

You are looking for a PVC flap valve... not sure what you call them in Thai.

 

This one is not spring loaded, it just relies on gravity after the drain water has exited.

Available for purchase in Thailand?

Yes.

I've seen them often in ads on FB... but I couldn't find them doing a search.

Blue PVC, same as most Thai PVC domestic water fittings.

I wish that I'd kept a copy...
