On 2 May 2025, the Deputy Governor of Bangkok announced the preparations for the implementation of the new Bangkok ordinance titled Animal Rearing and Release Control 2024, which was published on 15 January 2025 and will be effective on 10 January 2026. The regulation indicates guidelines for pet ownership based on residential space. It allows households and condominium units to keep between two and three pets, with a maximum of six animals depending on the size of the property.
曼谷副省長於2025年5月2日宣布準備實施曼谷新法令《2024年動物飼養和放養控制》，該法令於2025年1月15日發布，並將於2026年1月10日生效。該法規根據居住空間規定飼養寵物的指導方針。該法案允許家庭和公寓單位飼養兩到三隻寵物，最多可飼養六隻，具體取決於房產的大小。
The regulation designates Bangkok as a regulated area for keeping or releasing mammals, birds, aquatic animals, amphibians, reptiles, and dangerous or poisonous animals. It will not apply to current pet owners. Current pet owners just need to register the pets with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to continue keeping them. Registration must be submitted to relevant officials at authorized registration offices such as the Veterinary Department, Health Department, or District Offices.
該法規將曼谷指定為飼養或放養哺乳動物、鳥類、水生動物、兩棲動物、爬行動物以及危險或有毒動物的管制區域。新法令不適用於既有的寵物主人。目前的寵物主人只需向曼谷市政府(BMA)登記寵物即可繼續飼養。必須向獸醫部門、衛生部門或地區辦事處等授權登記辦公室的相關官員提交登記文件。
All dogs and cats owners in Bangkok are required to register their pets, obtain a pet passport, and have them microchipped within 120 days of birth or within 30 days of bringing the animal to Bangkok. The process can be completed by either the owner or an authorized representative.
在曼谷的所有狗和貓主人都必須在寵物出生後 120 天內或將動物帶到曼谷後 30 天內登記寵物、取得寵物護照並植入晶片。登記程序可由所有人或授權代表完成。
