Dogs chasing motorbikes

[Seppius]

Just seems in the last few weeks this is happening more to me.

 

The other day I was riding from Bali Hai around up to the Lighthouse, and a pack of 5 chased me, a bit scary at the time, snapping at my legs., Also happened in some of the small soi's off Pratumnak 5 and 6

 

A friend of mine was bit a few days ago in a similar situation.

Maybe neutered by soi doggie do gooders, so no problem ????

Always easier to deal with when one has good shoes on, but my reply is a strong kick to the top of the head, and it seems to keep them at bay. Or you just lift up your feet out of reach. Either solution seems to work quite well. Also, the horn often seems to startle them. 

 

Best if each city just starts engaging in massive culling of the soi dog population. Most of them are very sorry creatures, leading lives of desperation.

There are a lot of dogs round there. Usually the dogs are chasing they aren't going to bite. One thing you can do subject to traffic is rather than let the dogs chase you, you turn and start chasing the dog, it can really scare them.

 

I have wondered why dogs bark at homeless type people, like they sense something, a threat maybe

Maybe they migrated up and over from the Rawaii Phuket Area.  14 years ago when I li ed in Chali g and we would drive to the Laguna complex in Rawaii we would get chased ......funny how the dogs sleep in the middle of Thai roads.....

Most will be shocked if you break hard/stop and turn to them.

I always fear getting a nip from one of them, what choice does one have but to go get an expensive course of rabies shots. Most packs seem to ignore bikes around my area but get a little more aggressive at night. Should not be happening in the tourist areas.

A couple of dogs in the same Bali Hai area were suddenly running alongside my bike. Almost without thinking, I shouted at the them and then stopped abruptly, got off the bike and stalked them for a few seconds. They ran away up the hill.

I only realised afterwards that they were only chasing me because they smelled the chicken hanging on my bike and they wanted to be first in line if I was giving it out. ????
