Living nearby, I'm hoping middle eastern odour is more appetizing and flesh more yummy for hungry lions than poor farang scent. Safe enough as long as you smell less appetizing than Ahmed 1 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morch Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Some years back there was a story (also in Pattaya, I think) about someone's neighbor having tigers in the garden next door. Tiger owner turned out to be some foreigner/thai or a foreigner with thai citizenship - and actually had a permit to hold them, based on some ancient right one of his ancestors got. There was some royal family connection there, through service or something more even. Was at first defiant, but public opinion wasn't favorable. Don't recall how things were settled, of if. Maybe same guy or something similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Authorisation from whom? I don't know specifically but... "It is possible to keep a white lion as a pet in Thailand, but the owner must obtain the necessary permits for ownership, Dr. Pairot said, adding a lion should also be raised in a restricted area to prevent it from causing harm to people". https://thepattayanews.com/2023/03/02/chinese-neighbor-alarms-pattaya-residents-with-his-pet-white-lion/#:~:text=It is possible to keep,from causing harm to people. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rwill Posted December 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2023 Apparently it is possible to own a lion with the proper permit. https://thepattayanews.com/2023/03/02/chinese-neighbor-alarms-pattaya-residents-with-his-pet-white-lion/ "According to police, Mr. Shen produced legal documents showing he had bought the lion for 500,000 baht from a Thai man, Mr. Yothin Nakorn, who owned a white lion farm in Chachoengsao province. However, the Chinese man could not show a license required to raise a lion, which the authorities advised him to later request from the Office of Conservation Area 2, within an undisclosed time frame." 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimn Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Well earlier this year in March a Chinese guy bought a white lion cub and allowed it to roam around his garden on my gated community. This was widely reported in the media including the Pattaya News and Asean Now. We went back to thr UK in May and when we returned it was gone. Maybe the same one. https://thepattayanews.com/2023/03/02/chinese-neighbor-alarms-pattaya-residents-with-his-pet-white-lion/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say that I knew that he was doing something as patently ridiculous as raising a lion in the passenger seat of a car as a fact, did I? Having said that, I think it probably is a fact that he isn't doing that, in fact I'd go as far as to say that it is a fact but you can prove me wrong if you like and I'll take it back, just for you. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
