you can buy a caged Gorilla for 30M Baht in the Shopping Mall in BKK

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

this is not just sad but disgusting that they would keep him in a cage in a shopping mall
Little can be done about the 33-year-old gorilla who lives in a small cage in a Bangkok shopping mall if the owner refuses to let go, the authorities say.
Natural Resources and Environment Minister Varawut Silpa-archa tacitly admitted on Sunday that Bua Noi, the last gorilla in Thailand, cannot return to her home in Germany if Pata Zoo refuses to sell her.

“Pata Zoo’s promised to take care of her until her last days. And as her owner, it has the right to do so,” Varawut said. “In principle, we cannot take what belongs to them. So, I’ve said that many things need to be settled first.”

Hope the owner comes back as a fucking cockroach

If they wanted to they could change the law overnight making it illegal to keep wildlife,

Is this the same gorilla I saw in a shopping mall across the river in about 1979?

Probably not. Gorillas only live to 35-40 years max. Chimps can last a bit longer.

Silence, exile, and cunning.
