Bangkok Bites Back: Register and Chip Your Pets by Jan 2026

[Surasak]

Only in Bangkok! How long will it take to get around to the remainder of the country? Just another law to be ignored no doubt!?

And what happens to those cats and dogs that neither have home or owners?

 

Do they secretly cull them in the middle of the night?

A couple of decades ago there was a certain amount of culling in various forms taking place. then some do-gooders stuck their noses in, focusing on one particular aspect. The Thai government were embarrassed internationally and it all came to an end, they have had to tread very carefully ever since.

I doubt any of these so called celebrities have ever walked along a soi.

 

Thailand’s Soi Dog Foundation has some of the biggest stars in Britain speaking out against the dog-meat trade in a video that starts with a warning about its “distressing” content.
Dame Judi Dench, Ricky Gervais and two of the stars of the international-hit series “Downton Abbey” – Laura Carmichael and Phyllis Logan – give voice to the “I Never Knew” campaign in the moving (and, yes, distressing) three-minute video that drives home what you probably didn’t want to know. But of course you should know.

No worries ladies!

Many Thai’s don’t obey laws!

 

So dont worry about enforcement or owners disowning the their nuisances .

Why would a bye-law be required nationally for a localised problem.

It would be up to other areas with high number of foreigners to implement if necessary.

Much of Thailand is rural and the problem not seen in the same way. Every day my sister in law goes out on her bike and feeds the soi dogs.

Unless I take them back to europe.

Do you think you decide that? Feeling a bit entitled, right?

Did you understand that the post you originally quoted, was regarding the necessity of chipping in al provinces? And NO! You are not entitled because you are white.

Yes Gottfrid , I know what I reply to.

 

The OP says it is for Bangkok. You want it nationwide.

I don't .

Yes of course you don't know that I live in a rural province

where it doesn't matter.

 

Entitled was a joke to your stupid reply about entitlement, but it sure got you streaming.

Looking at your face in the avatar pic , you need a rabies shot pronto.

And a chip.

And you look like an F.

The whole point is that you don´t have a say if it becomes nationwide.

No this thread is not about people having a say if it becomes nation wide.

 

Now get off my back and stop wasting my time.

Yep, and it´s needed nationwide

As I said.

There was a plan some time ago under Prayut? to implement a tax on the dogs. First BKK and then Nationwide. I think it was 100 Baht per year? It was actually aiming to identify the dog's owner and to collect the ownerless. At that there was a public outcry and they had to skip the idea

Yeah, sure! Go on. What I said, was that you have nothing to say if they implement nationwide. You seem to have problem understanding. You said that you would not chip. If you and your dog are in Thailand and they tell you to, then you chip. Stop be silly.

It was you posting that you would not chip! If they say you have to, then you do. If not for you, out of respect for your dog. Now you can go and waste your time somewhere else.

In a bid to curb the rising number of stray animals, the BMA mandates all cats and dogs be registered and microchipped starting next year. This tough new measure aims to bring about a drastic change in urban pet management.

 

With the clock ticking, pet owners must act swiftly. The law requires that all cats and dogs be microchipped within 120 days of birth, or within 30 days of being acquired. But that's not all! The number of pets one can keep now depends on living space.

 

Residents in apartments or condos sized between 20 and 80 square metres can only own one pet. Larger units can accommodate two, while those in houses will be allowed more, proportionate to their land’s size.

The BMA declares its new stance with a bang, emphasizing the move as a stride towards increased public safety. This regulation aims to control the stray animal population and bolster safety.

Moreover, the legislation doesn't ignore the big barkers—dangerous breeds like pit bulls and Rottweilers now fall under special control. Owners of these powerful pooches must inform district authorities to ensure additional safety measures.

The rule extends to more unlikely urban dwellers, too: cows, horses, ducks, and chickens must reside strictly in designated zones.

Word salad. 

Try again

And therein lies the problem. It is most definitely a country wide problem, not local to Bangkok. But, if you feel the need to spread the disease?
