Didn't read it properly, did you?  There are none "down".

Hopefully there will be though, damn pests all of them ???? Luckily while we used to have 14 barking around us they have mostly died, been poisoned (not by me) run off or moved. Just left with the navy idiots across the road with their 5 stinking barkers.

Have to hope that continues until it passes away. Talking of excrement, neighbours directly opposite us don't have animals but all the family do their business outside my house. See them doing it on CCTV. Can only think they are reducing their water bill and frequency they have to pay for the 'poo pumper' tanker?

Replace them with soi dogs, a far better alternative.

I once considered building a home in Thailand but decided not to because of the possibility of bad neighbors. After living in Thailand for many years I am so glad I never did that. Thailand has a very serious dog problem that is potentially dangerous.

Funny you should say that, I said the same thing to the wife, and she said if their dog bit somebody they would say 'not my dog'.

Not your car, that's pretty easy

If the police do show up and climb under your wife's car  You know they will find dog hair attached  to a bolt or something .  I owned a Collision shop back in the states  When a customer hit an animal and drove it over the undercarriage is covered with evidence  Good Luck 

Show up and climb under, you must be a comedian or you have never lived in Thailand

First of all I wouldn’t be happy and bragging about possibly running over any type of an animal.  Problem or not.  Because I’m sure if someone on here owned a dog.  And someone ran over it.  They would be whining to no end.  But if it happens to someone else then it’s ok. 
And if the dogs were such an issue for a while .  Then something should have been done about it  But nothing was done probably because people were afraid to confront or report the owners for fear of retaliation. But they talk a good game. But too cowardly to do anything.  Because they brag how great Thailand is compared to their own countries.  But when it comes down to it.  They are concerned being harmed if they have to address any issues with the locals.

How bout I PM you my address and you send the wife to cruise up and down my soi.

The Grumpys here are in their element again! Must be miserable to lead such a life!????

[Thingamabob]

If it was me I would have been rather more curious to find out what I had hit. Given there was a dog in the middle of the road your wife must surely have realized she might have run over it.  I would immediately check with the owner, offer to take the dog for checking/treatment, and offer compensation. Not to do so, and even worse adopting a combative attitude, could yet land you in big trouble here. I hope the dog is ok for all concerned.

put some dent in the car and counter the neighbor with a repair bill from a garage

Hey your spot on! Take it from experience ! Know your neighborhood before you drop anchor!

We have a similar situation up here 

where we live with soi dogs and irresponsible neighbors with dogs !

Recently there was a story of how Thai’s considered their pets as family members. They sometimes treat them better than humans!

Look at that city here in Thailand were the monkeys run around willy nilly!

Know the layout of the land whether it be a moo baan or private gated community or residential area.

I have a Thai neighbor who moved in 1 year after us , with his wife,adult daughter and 7 small dogs !

The everyday ,24 hours a day disturbance has me wanting to sell my house and find another especially now that he has threatened my life for telling his dogs to shut up repeatedly in the middle of the night!

We’ve been to the police, with his recorded response and to the Amphur several times with officials coming to both our houses. and still it continues.
My wife wants me to fight the guy ,my Falang friends want me to poison the dogs while I’ll just want to be able to live a normal life.

Poisoning the neighbour would create less problems for you.

Painting the victim as the criminal, dog should not have been lying in the road and is the owners fault and responsibility. Driver totally innocent and does not have to do, or pay anything. 

[andygrr]

Just tell them their dog ran out in front of your car and you hit it, causing damage to your car and you want compensation. They will probably deny it was even their dog.

What is wrong with you people???She ran over the neighbors dog.She should go there and tell them what happened, say sorry and ask if the dog is ok.This is the minimum she should do.I don't think it is funny to ran over a living creature.Here is Thailand.I very hope someone will report her for animal cruelty If the street is not free to go I don't go,if i'm not sure I will have a look.iF YOU TO LAZY TO LOOK DON'T DRIVE CAR.It doesn't matter if the dogs or the neighbors are an annoyment,if you don't like it there............................

Good way to get yourself a bullet to the head.

 

Try chilling and diplomacy, it's Thailand, the lazy soi dogs were here way before us foreigners came here.

Show some damm respect.

 

It really ticks me off when foreigners start complaining about what's been here forever, you all sound like a bunch of school brats, GROW UP.

Civilized behaviour is not letting your dogs <deleted> all over the place so you get your neighbours to do the cleaning up for you, Civilized behaviour is not standing on your porch watching your dogs snapping at the heels of your neighbour and don't even attempt to call them away. Civilized behaviour is keeping your pets safe and not allowing them to lounge in a place where 1 tonne hunks of metal are regularly going.

 

Civility is reciprocal, it aint no one way street.

Of course its the drivers fault.   The rest of us manage to avoid running over soi dogs lying in the road, his wife was just careless and irresponsible.

Another crazy expat that seems to think there is a Thai behind every lamp post with a machete or a gun.... Where do all these farangs live that shows Thailand is such a violent place?.... It sounds like Pol Pot's Cambodia from the late 70s where you live.

 

So you are saying that my wife accidentaly rolls over a stupid animal and all of a sudden someone is going to shoot her husband in the head who wasn't even in the car but sat innocently at home and THAT is a good way to get murdered by all those gun toting Thais in this Mad Max style hellscape I have moved to?????

Don't post it if you can't take the justified  criticism that is bound to come your way for your wife's actions.
