Pack of soi dogs rounded up on Jomtien beach

[Eindhoven]

So funny reading the comments of people who try to change Thailand to be like their home countries.

Sorry, but it is Thailand. You don't like, try your home country. They don't have dogs roaming freely there.

This is Thailand and I make the best of it without complaining. So instead of railing against the dogs, I make my life a more pleasant experience by getting to know some of them. You get to see some amazing things that way. 

You are only limiting the richness of life's bounty. There are some super cool and funny animals out there. Certainly funnier and more interesting than many of the posters here. ????

What a bunch of <deleted>. I walk on Jomtien Beach and those dogs are as gentle as can be.

Maybe not if you were 5, dogs are sneaky and will attack if they think they can get away with it

Find out yourself how friendly these stray dogs are once you walk into them in the middle of the night at Jomtien beach-road !

 

Do it all the time. Also on much more secluded beaches than Jomtien Beach. In fact I've even taken other dogs there and they play together.

 

They don't know who you are. Once you let them know they calm down. 

 

Of course if you are a big scaredy cat, you panic and so do they.

I agree, that children are more susceptible to attack. Especially as they do the things that make them more susceptible to attack. So if on a tourist beach, they should be moved if liable to attack children. But for an adult to be attacked is very unusual.

well Thailand used to have slaves and they rode around on Elephants, things move on and improve. Time the soi dog menace was consigned to history as well, health risk, traffic menace and noisy pests. No country can be considered developed or safe with millions of scabby dogs roaming about. Would the Japanese put up with this nonsense? it would be sorted in short order, but the land of mai pen rai just lets it get worse.

That's your opinion. We all have them.

Look up the stats for attacks on adults, about 300k a year in the USA, you can't find the numbers here of course. It's a myth mostly kids are attacked and that they have to have done something to provoke them, they don't they just have to be there.

Of course everything you write is fact because you have written it. I just have never seen it in twenty eight years of being in Thailand.
