More than 1,000 exotic animals have perished after a fire ripped through a famous market in Thailand.<\/p>\n

Snakes, puppies and Siamese fighting fish were among the pets and other animals killed as the blaze ravaged around 1,300 sq m of stalls at the Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok in the early hours of Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Some 118 shops were destroyed and an initial inspection suggests the fire was caused by an electrical fault, police said.<\/p>\n

It took about an hour to bring the fire under control, officials said. There are no reports of human casualties.<\/p>\n

In grim scenes, firefighters picked through carcasses, mangled cages, and collapsed metal shop roofs.<\/p>\n

“I’m shock. I feel like crying, but there are no tears,” said one Siamese fighting fish shop owner Suwannee Sangdee.<\/p>\n

She fears her small establishment has been left in ruins and all her precious fish dead.<\/p>\n

“Now I have to think about what’s next.”<\/p>\n

Officials said they are still working on estimating the cost of damage, and that affected shop owners could register for compensation.<\/p>\n

The Chatuchak market is best known for its packed shops for fashion, accessories and exotic animals and draws thousands of visitors each weekend.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
