A devastating fire broke out at the Chatuchak Pet Market in Bangkok early yesterday morning , which destroyed around 118 shops and killed more than 1,000 pet animals.
According to a Facebook post by Stay in Thailand, firefighters rushed to the scene along with over 10 firetrucks and volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation, after someone reported the fire at about 4am. “A shop employee said that she was sleeping on the mezzanine of the shop when she heard noises from various pets and saw the area filled with smoke, making it hard to breathe. She escaped by jumping out of a window. The shop had rare birds, including cockatoos worth 30,000 baht each.”The fire is believed to have initially started at the Angel Bird Shop, which oddly sells small breed dogs such as Poodles, Shih Tzus and Pomeranians.
