Everyone here should honestly ask themselves what is the real problem here. I am not okay with this situation as it stands, as there should be leashes on those dogs. That dogs defecate on the beach is a problem, even though some locals and foreigners do also. Others have asked what breed as there is a fear about certain breeds that attack and can hurt people quick, if they aren't trained to be gentle. All dogs that aren't trained to be gentle can bite anyway. There actually isn't much difference here than is seen daily around schools , temples, outside 7-11's and roaming almost every street in Thailand, besides the fact they are with someone who is likely their owner. I fully understand the possible problems dogs can cause, especially if they aren't trained and just roamers, and these dogs should be, like they are in the western cities and owned, on leashes, as they have leash laws there and not here, so this isn't so much of this man's problem but the whole country's. This shouldn't happen for a few reasons. Walking dogs on a beach is done by millions ,including multiple dogs, but it's usually done away from people, with leashes, and if you have this many, they're likely to end up fighting other loose dogs, which is a problem also. Are dogs allowed on this beach, and if so how many and should they be leashed? These are Thailand's laws regarding pets on beaches.....Where Dogs Are Welcomed Koh Lanta: Famous among dog lovers for its highly tolerant beaches and local rescue efforts. Phuket & Koh Samui: The majority of open public beaches here are pet-friendly, though keeping your dog leashed and cleaning up after them is strictly expected near resort areas. Hua Hin & Khao Takiab: The wide, open beaches are very dog-friendly, and you will even find beachside cafes and chair rentals that welcome pets. Koh Chang: Known for its less commercialized atmosphere, this island has many quiet beaches where dogs can roam and splash freely. Where Dogs Are Prohibited National Parks: You must not bring dogs to beaches located within Thailand's National Parks (such as the Mu Ko Ang Thong National Marine Park, or Maya Bay in Phi Phi).
