According to assistant Bangkok government Tavida Kamolvej, a city regulation that addresses stray animals will become effective in about a year and will set a cap on how many pets an owner can keep.
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA ) approved the pet control regulation last year, which was published in the Royal Gazette on January 15 and will become effective within a year.
In the interim, Ms. Tavida said City Hall may hold events to inform users about the paperwork required to register their animals, including microchips and vaccination certificates.
By the middle of the time, the BMA will have the documents available, according to the lieutenant governor.
She continued,” Events may be organized to inform users about the significance of the regulation and the limitations that it imposes.”
Under the rules, owners may have their animals microchipped before registration.
In a condominium or house that is between 20 and 80 square meters of living space, one dog may be permitted. Up to three pets may reside in a place between 20 and 50 square feet for a distant home.
Ms. Tavida claimed that the legislation is intended to control the animal population, which can help address issues brought on by strays.
