It surprises me that this doesn't happen more often.

 

Even in very nice villages/moobaan's there's always a few dogs barking nonstop....and nobody dares to take any action.

i stayed in TRAT last year, all bloody night long a dog was barking, i got dressed chased the sod down the road,but soon  he was back,  barking again, it was a bit comical as there was a dog  led on someones drive and he looked at me as so as to say, yes its that frigin dog again, i cant sleep either lol so i feel for this guy, but a bit drastic, until someone has experienced this then no need to comment,

• Rule number 1 - never overtake with your car any other driver on a Thai road
• Rule number 2 - make proper assessment of your new lady, just to be sure there is no jealous rival/ex  hiding behind the scene
• Rule number 3 - don't have a dog...

 

(more rules to follow so stay tuned please)

 

Non respect of the above 3 rules in Thailand can get you...SHOT !!

 

RIP to the victims.

Nobody dares to take action as there are no ways in Thai society to solve these kinds of problems except for:

1. Ignore it

2. Use connections to get the authorities out of their office

3. Solve it yourself with poison, your car, or a gun.

Fido time for the parting of the paws before we are all full of holes.

I wonder if the dog stopped barking?

Given that thais believe the dogs life is more valuable than a persons.. this article doesn't surprise me at all

[thhMan]

We have been calling Police (as many are doing also in our Soi), to stop the kids with unmuffled motorbikes going up and down the street all day and night.

 

The Police have been told many times, yet fail to deal with it.

 

Im afraid that soon, someone will take matters into their own hands, just out of frustration as this has been going on for over 6 months, 7 days a week and many are woken up at 2am, 3am, 4am etc.. and are just fed up

 

It is 100% the Police fault as they have not acted... After all those idiot kids dont know any better, but do know that the Police wont do anything, till its too late!

Why didnt he just Shoot the Bloody Dog.

 It became normal that people shoot with guns in this country. Not something Prayut would consider dangerous?

Iboprufen tabs squashed down and put in sausage meat will stop the dog noise.

We have barking dogs all night long but because our neighbours are all mental they add to the problem with drunken, drug stupid loud behaviour which makes my dogs bark so i can sleep in the fact that i know my dogs will be creating more nusiance purely because its the dogs of a farang. Surprisingly the neighbours dogs have been quieter and have even seen them put in houses for the night as a result. Perhaps they fear my dogs might get out. One time one of my dogs got out and pounced pulling a rider off there bike which cost a pretty penny but its best not to provoke them.

PHUKET:-- Police investigating yesterday’s shooting of three family members by a lone shooter at the family’s house in the quiet residential housing estate Moo Baan Tinnawut, off Chao Fa West Rd, have confirmed that the shooting took place due to a dog barking.

 

When police arrived at the scene yesterday (Apr 9), Somchai Kieingchan, 42, who is traditional Thai dance teacher and a member of a dance troupe, was found bleeding profusely and had been shot in the left side of his neck.

 

His wife, Mrs Urarat, 43, had been shot twice in her lower back, once in an arm and once in a leg, and had a broken finger on her right hand.

I failed the Rule 3 once. I learned a lesson when coming home and found 3 people waiting by my neighbors house . All saying i have to pay for medical bills because my dog bit them. When asked I asked when? no one could say anything meaningful. I got into my house, called my wifes brother and he came to take the dog away. Plus my house is fenced. I got out without paying any medical bills. I told my wife, she is Thai so she better go and talk with the people. Camera all around my house , check for the past 7 days, i can account for my dogs activities. I guess they didnt win the lottery

instead of shooting the people would of been easier  shooting the dog

[Classic Ray]

The cause of the shooting was not the dog barking, but the inability of the parties involved to discuss the matter sensibly, plus the number of guns washing around the country, mostly unlicensed.

[dickjones2018]

only people with neighbors with loud or aggressive dogs should reply ... it can drive you insane...

[Skeptic7]

Right...blame it on the dog. Sounds like a case of...'the dog ate my homework'! 

[IAMHERE]

I am probably wrong but I do suppose the penalty for shooting a dog is harsher than shooting people. Certainly more people get upset when you shoot a dog, even those with rabies. This is Thailand I'm writing about.

[Stargeezr]

You shoot  the dog,   and next day there is another barking dog.  Maybe that

had already happened in the past and the shooter had enough!!!
