Do They Allow You To Play With The Pets At Chatuchak?

[michaeltheR]

Has anyone ever played with the dogs and cats at Chatuchak? Seems like a very tempting thing to do. Do they allow one to play with the pets or do they make you buy the right away?

[phuturatica]

Quite a random question...

If you're interested in buying the animal then maybe... But most of the poor things are doped up on some kind of medication to make them mong out slightly so they're not like normal little playful animals I doubt the animal would be very responsive if you did play with them.

However if you just want to go to Chatuchak to play with animals then they'll probably shoo you away.

Change the thoght process slightly. If you were the owner of a pet shop and some weirdo came in off the street and started touching up your merchandise with no thought of buying, what would you do?

[DLock]

Why yes, you most certainly can.

Chatuchak pet market is often considered Bangkok's premier petting zoo for an exciting day out for the entire family.

Please be aware that you will need to obtain a tetanus shot, rabies shot, flea and tick dusting and bring some antibacterial wipes and anti venom if you plan to play with the King Cobras.

Tell us how it went.

[beano2274]

Yes you can play with them, if you show interest then they let you.

OP: for legitimate response, see Photuratica's post.

Better yet, avoid the place. The animals are bred under horrific and cruel conditions. One of the reasons I started to lose interest in my ex is that after all the discussions we had on the need for responsible animal husbandry, and my donations to animal rescue organizations she went and bought a dog from one of those disgusting vile merchants. I started to loather her after that.

you shall not play with food, my mother always told me

If you play with XXX's critters and pick up parvo virus on your hands, then go play with YYY's critters, then YYY's critters may get whatever you pass on from XXX's critters.

As tempting as they all are, it's not a good idea to play with more than one animal there, and none of the owners of the shops have a clue how many you've played with, or what diseases you're harboring on your hands.

Since there's a wide disparity between the good vendors and the others in the quality and cleanliness, their rules about not touching their critters make sense.

[HeijoshinCool]

I only pet the dead ones. There's plenty of them and they don't bite.

[smokie36]

Just get a teddy bear OP!

[Songhua]

They're only pets after you've bought them. Until then they're animals.

"Do They Allow You To Play With The Pets At Chatuchak?"

No, Please leave your kids at home.

ok That was a reach... so sue me.

On a helpful note, I have played with the pets for a minute or 2 in the past.

I've never tried to push it past that.

Here is a map if that helps anyone.

You have asked this question before, is it a fetish thing?

Nope. It just I want to have a puppy but I cannot own one because of the place I am living.

Well, according to to his previous topic (see below) he's not.

[Nana Cowboy]

to the OP. go visit 7/11s around Bangkok. Many have a dog that hangs out in front as passers by give food and such. There used to be a very nice pooch outside the store on Suk soi 6. he was very nice and I used to bring him cold cuts and he loved me for it

[arthurwait]

Yes.....

Unless you are a vet.

before or after cooking?

[kawaiimomo]

OP, why you just don't change the place you are living in?

Wanting to own cats was my main reason to leave the apartment i was living in and moving to a townhouse. Even if I had could have them in the apartment, what a difference looking how much they enjoy staying in the patio! :-)

[candypants]

not sure why you would want to play with a water-deprived, heat-stroked, half-dead puppy.

[Thai Dreamer]

You sure can, money talks & you are a potential say and if you are white then you are a rich hansum man. I don't about your sencond visit though !!!!

You are not meant to due to many rabies in the past. But hey, TIT and rules are menat to be broken right !!!!

This would probably be a good option.

Do they really have king cobras? Maybe it's a silly question, but it wouldn't surprise me that much if they did.

As for petting the puppies, I know it's nice, but the animals there must be pretty stressed already.

[elliss]

Yes, they have King Cobras and many other snakes and reptiles. Try taking a photo and they get really pissed....not the snakes, but the shop Owner guy.

I was going to buy 2 small Crocodiles for my lake because I'm stupid like that. It would have been wicked cool.

But small Crocodiles will eventually become big Crocodiles so in a moment of clarity I passed. Probably a smart decision.

Do you live in a padded cell by any chance ?

Have to wear a straight jacket all day long ?

Thats why you got the hurge to pat something?
