5. Pattaya Residents Allege to Lose Sleep as Pet Lion Roars All Night in Pratumnak Hill Area
The owner received an initial warning from the authorities after the incident. The lion, however, is legally licensed and has all the proper paperwork as required by Thai law. Owning a lion is legal in Thailand. Many social media netizens on our platforms, however, stated legal or not that they found keeping a lion in a crowded residential neighborhood in a tourist city to be poor judgment.
