MORE CATS OF BANGKOK

 

MORE CATS OF BANGKOK

Here we are in Bangkok, Thailand again. The ostensible reasons were to enjoy food, shopping and music, but the reason was to visit the cats and kittens that populate this metropolis. Like Istanbul, Bangkok is a haven for cat fanciers, and there is no corner of Bangkok that is not inhabited by cats. Many are stray soi cats but quite a few of them have been adopted by friendly locals who make it an objective of life to feed and love them. For this, we are grateful to make their acquaintance. 

Cats near Song Wat Road, a part of Chinatown near the Chao Phraya River



Friendly cat at Mahachai Road, near the Klong Ong Ang Canal



Cats of Talad Noi


LUMPINI PARK

The biggest and best outdoor cat cafe has to be Lumpini Park, home of a legion of cats who are well fed by an army of volunteers who make sure no cat is left alone or uncared for. A short visit to Pet Lovers Centre at Saladaeng got us equipped with a small supply of cat food, and off we went. Before long, we were greeted by many furred friends. Many had been fed, but were still happy to receive more treats, which we happily obliged.








The inspiration to visit
