Baan Maew Thai is a perfect place for cat lovers. It is located
at 2/0 Moo7 in Kwai Aom sub-district, Amphawa district, Samut
Songkhram. The place conserves authentic species of 5 famous
Siamese cats including Wichienmas, Korat, Supaluk and Gon Jaa
and white cats by sharing useful cat information regarding its
characteristics and its natural features. The house also
supports the researches, the information exchange, the breeding
among the cat members or organizations in order to help continue
preserving these Siamese cats as Thailand’s treasure.
Baan Maew Thai was open to the public in 2001 according to Samut
Songkhram’s policy to turn this place into the tourist
attraction and cat exhibition. At the present, Baan Maew Thai is
taken care by Khun Pricha Phukkhabut. Inside, there are breeding
sections divided into cages of various types of Siamese cats.
Admission is free but donations are encouraged since high-graded
cat foods are needed. Right now there are 5 breeds with total
approximately 70 cats. Also, there is a display of 23 different
breeds which bring good and bad luck. Visitors will receive
interesting knowledge regarding Thai cats which can be applied
with their own pets. Besides, there are cats available for sale
at Baan Maew Thai.
