Popular Post HauptmannUK Posted December 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2022 'Motorist' is generally taken to be a car driver. 'Motorcyclist' should be used instead in the headline. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also suspect a dog is more likely to get traffic to stop when it crosses the road in Pattaya ... that was obvious when I tried to cross 3rd yesterday, even with the pedestrian lights/crossing in my favour!

Popular Post mikebell Posted December 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2022 It could have been worse; he could have swerved and killed a child avoiding the dog. I fail to understand Thais who bang on about wearing masks to guard against disease yet allow hundreds of thousands of these critters to pollute every soi in the country. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Aussieroaming Posted December 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2022 Probably drunk and traveling at high speed on the wrong side of the road or on a footpath and the dog had no chance. The headline should swap motorist and insert Muppet, "Pattaya muppet crashes into dog". 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is good that there is one less mutt terrorising the streets, let's not forget it is this pathetic government's mawkish stance and inaction on soi dogs that has put Thailand back decades into third world status regard vermin roaming the streets. They are a menace and (despite the speeding taxi rider) have caused innumerable accidents and attacks on kids. Taxi man should consider suing Prayut.

People always bring children into the discussion.

Still no big deal. Life is cheap and goes on irrespective if child or dog. Probably more laws in Thailand to protect the dog than a human being.

Pla Simon Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Life changing. I'm surprised the local reporters didn't hound the win more, and lacked the foresight to use the dog's sidekick for a photo op, to embellish the headliner - a pointer no less, by all accounts.

Thais hold soy dogs in high regard. How many times have we seen articles here how a dog mauled, sometimes fatally, a child, then 500 baht and a wai from the owner (if there even IS an owner) handles the issue? There is more protection for dogs than humans. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyExpat57 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I personally witnessed a guy driving a motorbike at a reasonable pace swerve to try and avoid a soi dog sprawling in the middle of the road. It spooked the dog which jumped right in front of the bike. They both went tumbling and the guy wound up unconscious on the road. The way his head was positioned indicated he likely went on to meet his maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of another 60 or so.... I imagine more dogs were also killed on the roads last night... As you mentioned, whats so different about this one that it makes the news ? All strays should be removed from the streets.... they simply cause too many problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
