The Thai Neighbours have just bought a rooster, its crows all night, I live in town, I thought the bylaws didn't allow farm animals to be kept in city areas, is this correct and what can I do about it?

The rules and regulation governing what is a house pet or farm animal is done by each local district (Tambol).

Some local district, stipulated that (i.e. elephant, horse, cow, buffalo, pig, goat, and sheep) are strictly prohibited to be brought in or stationed in the following areas that are commercial and populated , and the areas that the local district categorized as conservative land which are used for Thai cultural promotion.

Whereas some local districts will allow an elephant, horse, cow, buffalo, pig, goat, sheep, duck, chicken, dog, car and bird to be in the above mentioned area as long as they are kept in a proper place. On the following condition that its a a reasonable amount in quantity, they must not be a nuisance or cause interruption. The place must be hygienic location.

In the case if such animal is causing interruption to the you or the neighbourhood, you can report this to your local district (Tambol). You may want to consider to have a friendly chat with your neighbour about his/her rooster causing disturbance during the night hours. If you report this to the official, it may cause a quarrel with your neighbour.
