Just another crazy soi dog loving farang woman. Seen a few in Pattaya giving food and antibiotics to a pack of dogs. Even give them names.

A Thai woman is seeking compensation after claiming she and her child were attacked by dogs reportedly owned by a foreign woman on a beach in Koh Pha Ngan, Surat Thani.

The woman appealed for help in a local Facebook group, asking members to identify the foreigner. She shared photographs of a woman with several dogs on the beach and said she wanted to contact her following the alleged attack.

The incident prompted mixed reactions online. Some social media users suggested the animals involved appeared to be stray dogs and questioned whether they were actually owned by the foreign woman.

Others, including people who said they lived in the area, claimed the dogs belonged to the foreigner and her friend. They said they had regularly seen the pair walking the animals along the beach and alleged the dogs had been involved in previous incidents.

The Thai woman later issued a statement clarifying her account of events. She said she and her child had been walking on the beach as usual and had not interacted with the dogs before the attack. She added that both suffered injuries.

According to the woman, the foreigner paid approximately 17,000 baht in medical expenses. She said she was grateful for the payment but stressed that the impact extended beyond treatment costs.

The woman stated that the foreigner had directed them to a clinic rather than a hospital and only provided a Line contact. She alleged that the foreigner promised to provide food and support during recovery but could not be contacted afterwards. She also said she did not know the woman’s real name or where she was staying.

The injured woman explained that she had been forced to miss several days of work, while her child was unable to attend school. She said the incident had affected their physical and mental wellbeing as well as her ability to earn an income as a single parent.

A Facebook account believed to belong to the foreign woman later shared a clinic receipt showing payment of 17,000 baht for the injured woman’s medical treatment following the incident.

Another person claiming to have been injured by the same dogs alleged that the foreigner had promised ongoing assistance but ceased communication after covering the initial medical costs.

The Thai woman maintained that the dogs belonged to the foreigner, citing a resort owner who reportedly confirmed that the woman frequently walked the animals on the beach and had previously experienced problems involving the dogs.

As of now, there has been no confirmation that the case has been reported to police. The identity of the alleged dog owner and responsibility for the attack remain unverified.

Medical bills payed. But as usual lets fleece the foreigner for more money. 🙈

Usually strays don't bite in Thailand but they're pretty stressed in the hot season. ANY dog that bites should to put down.

F***** mutts.

Yeah, if you cause a Thai person to miss work, you need to pay for that too.

You have no idea. A lot of the strays are very aggressive, and do bite. I got bitten 4 times in Thailand, 3 of them were strays. They hate bicycles for some reason.

Low season 2008, rainy late June Nai Harn beach Phuket. The soi dog population had gotten a bit out of control.

Pop, pop, pop, I thought someone was lighting off firecrackers. I walk back toward the road and the BIB had a truck, they were culling these dogs and tossing them in the back of the truck.

Animal control Thai style. 👍

The stray dogs problems really needs to be dealt with in Thailand. A first world country wouldn't have this problem. You can't have stray dogs running amok everywhere and attacking people. Yes, a lot of them are fairly docile but they still really need to address this issue.

You talking about the dogs or the people in charge ?🤣

Poison works a treat. Her beloved biters can die in her arms whilst she sobs helplessly.

Looks like she is looking to get more money from the foreigner, they never miss an opportunity, but the owner or carer of the dogs are responsible. The scurge of Thailand, the feeders, are also responsible

Years ago, when I was bitten by a Thai man's dog, I had to pay my own medical bills as the owner claimed he didn't have any money.

I didn't make a big deal out of it, and I just accepted it as one of those things you can't avoid in Thailand.

Whilst I agree with the 'feeders' comment it isn't relevant here because the dogs aren't strays. You saw the injuries, would you accept medical costs only and lose salary ? The dog owner is getting off easy. If she's smart she will pay up now before it really blows up like it did for the Swiss man who put his boots to the doctor.
