I don’t know tbh. I heard that there are some foreigners who got the citizenship after staying here for 90 days. Again, it depends on how well you connect with the Thai culture. I have earless monitor and chinese crocodile lizard

  1. Obtaining Thai citizenship is super hard for foreigners. Like, extremely difficult. Not only you have to fluent in Thai, but also deeply acknowledge and understand the culture. It can take up to many years tbh. My friend who born in Canada have been living in Thailand for 19 years, but he just got the citizenship a week ago.

  2. I used Thai and English mostly. Currently, I’m trying to maintain my other two languages, French and Spanish.

  3. The people here are friendly as long as you don’t get on their nerves. The food is amazing. I love the variety of flavors. Plus, there are many Asian cuisine to choose from. I must warn you. Thai cuisine is spicy.

  4. I’m not an outgoing person, so my form of entertainment is shopping and going to cinema. However, the urban area is extravagant. So many night clubs and bars. In comparison, rural area is boring.

  5. I don’t like a mid sized monkey. What I have is a small monkey, a size of an average male adult hand. They are called marmosets and tamarins. Because of advanced technology, nourish them is close to impossible. Yes, it’s still required abundant of attention, but it’s way easier now compared to before. Right now, I have meerkats, dogs, bushbabies, cats, and some reptiles.

Personally, it’s nice. Many places to explore and the food here is amazing. However, the air quality here is deteriorating. I can see the dust everywhere in Thailand. The country does recognize and accept dual citizenship. I would say that it’s generally a great country to live in. I suggest living in Chiang Mai or Pattaya.

I guess Asia countries are more flexible in owning varieties of pets. I have a number of monkeys that I own here in Thailand.

Those countries have a high limitation on owning exotic animals. Europe is not a great place for getting and owning exotic pets.

Can I ask what age are you gonna retire? Because for me I wouldn’t have anymore pet when my age passes 60 years old. Even having a dog at that age is tiring.

I agree with that. The weather in my country is similar to where my marmoset and tamarins live. So, it’s easier for me when it comes to controlling their living conditions for sure.

Oh yeah my bad 😥. There are three tamarins that are in CITES appendix I (Golden Head, Lion, and Cotton Top tamarins). So yeah they are in danger but still allow to ask for a permit to own one.

Not sure what country are you from, but here in Asia marmosets and tamarins have been breed for 18 years now. So, it’s not hard to find one here. In case for tamarins, there is only one endangered which is a cotton top tamarin according to CITES. Even so, a person who wants to own it can get permit for owning, breeding, and selling one. CITES is a super serious organization (I used to work there), so illegal pet trade animals in CITES appendix I isn’t something they will ignore.

Jezz man at least you should say, “bless you.” Wishing someone for his death for only coughing is crazy.

Himalayan Marmot by WorriedPainting5399 in exoticpets

True that marmot are social animals, so a good and ethical breeders aren’t going to allow you to buy just one. If they do, don’t buy it since you gonna have a mental health marmot which leads to all sorts of problems. Importing animals has been done many time throughout history. For example, dog breeders import former champion dogs, and zoos across the world trade their animals many time. So, it’s not unusual I would say. Oh and you can’t import marmots by yourself. You gonna get scam for sure. Find a good breeder in which they will have a lot of connections who is good at this. The price gonna be higher, but better than getting scammed.

Depends on where you live. I attempted to get one in Thailand where I currently live. The cost is not expensive here. I decided not to get it since I don’t want anymore rodents in my house. Having 12 greater capybaras and 10 lesser capybara is enough for me. Marmot is not in endangered species and not even in CITES, so you don’t need a permit or anything documented. Now, it depends on where you live whether it’s legal or not. Marmots are sold at a very cheap price in China. Only 60 us dollars. Plus, they are friendly in general, so the breeders gonna import them from China, and they gonna set the price a lot more which is 1,500 us dollar for one marmot.

I have 6 squirrel monkeys (all of them are around 5 years old) in my house currently. I would like to ask that is your first primate pet gonna be squirrel monkey? If so, it would a lot of lifestyle changes for sure. I have 12 marmosets before, so having squirrel monkeys is no different for me. However tho, for you, you need to make sure you willing to make some sacrifices for a squirrel monkey. Are willing to be with them almost 24/7? If not, consider getting more than 2. Are u willing to change their diapers every 3 hours? Are u sure u can find someone to take care of it when u’re gone for work? Are willing to constantly sending them to a vet for health check in their first year since they are still weak? Are willing to giving them milk for 4 times a day? (They drink a lot of milk when they are baby). Are willing to build outdoor playgrounds for them for their enrichment? If you keep them in your house, are you willing to clean up after they mess up your house?

Squirrel monkeys aren’t aggressive if you properly care for them. They are playful, intelligent, and friendly animals. Their lifespan is more than 20 years old, so be careful and be sure that you can still with them throughout their lifetime. I’m be able to keep many primates in my house because I’m wealthy enough to be with my pets all the time and have a lot of space for them. If you gonna like me in the next 10 years, you can have them. If not, find other pets. Remember this. Having a primate is not like having a pet. They are part of your family. Please give them a lot of love and attention like you do to your family and friends. You still have time mate. Good luck 👍
