As you know when I first arrived in Bangkok Chatuchak animal market blew me away. Just the fact you can basically buy any animal and take it home.

We've tried having everything. Owls, Eagles, Hawks, Squirrels, Rabbits, Fighting fish and loads of different dogs. It's been traumatic at times. What people don't understand when they buy an animal at Chatuchak is the fact your pet is dead animal walking. The place is a disease pit. On top of that most animals for sale there are wild and in a state of shock. Take them home and they die. Simple.

Our success stories from Chatuchak are small. I think we have 2 survivors from maybe 20 pets bought. We did have Odin my pet hawk who we had from a baby. I took him to falconry school and he ended up a fully trained falcon. It was all going so well until a green snake killed him outside in the garden.

Odin lived by the sword though. He killed his fair share of Porno's nice creatures like rabbits etc.

The last 6 months have been devoted to the dogs. Again, having a dog in LOS is a nightmare. If you take a falang style dog to a Thai vet be prepared to get kicked up the bollocks. Dirty bastards scam you worse than the TG's on beach road.

We didn't know but we bought 3 dogs from Chatuchak that had bad illness's. Loads of heartache and I even had to put one down myself as Thai vets won't kill animals due to Buddha.

So, what do we have now?

Well one dog we got from Chatuchak survived all the sickness. Our copy German Shepherd dog. She's an evil bastard. Bites everything and everyone. I call her Yabba because she's so mental.

Next we have a Thai Bangkeaw. These are great but you can't get them outside UK. Vicious fucking thing. Porno's dog. Won't let anyone go near her. Supposed to be part Jackal. We got a good un from Phitsanalok. Looks lovely but bites. Porno's brother won't come to the house since we got a Bangkeaw. Result.

Now my dog. Ninja the Akita.
I always thought I could never have anything other than a German Shepherd dog. I loved them.
However, that was before I got an Akita. They are the ultimate. No way could you have one around kids. They are bastards and will bite but for 2 adults living alone who want a pet/guard dog it doesn't get any better. Big, nasty but love their owner. Fucking thing is like a bear. Strong and massive legs. He's a total nightmare and has broken my life but if I ever come back to UK he's the only thing apart from VD that's coming home with me.

I'm planning on having a rest from Pattaya now. I'm going to treat myself to something a bit special in the Eagle department. Real big fukka. Crested Serpent Eagle. I'm going to Chatuchak this week on the look-out. It's bird of prey time of year down there.

They look like this.

I've got big plans in the garden. Having a massive mini jungle cage built by my mate this week. Porno reckons she's putting rabbits in there as well. Obviously didn't learn from last weeks Akita killing spree.

More to follow for sure.........
