Are these the same dogs they cleaned up at Ao Nang a month or so ago after the previous attack to make it safer for tourists? Or is this the next generation of attack dog?

Lucky he was not charged the falang rate.

They must have been 'provoked', we all know they are mans best friend who can do no wrong ????

Kill the tourist and take care of the stray dogs..... Violent street dogs should be killed, for the safety of people... No need to say impossible because Buddhism, as it sometimes look like killing people is more normal than stray dogs and that is accepted...

Just had the same.....1600 baht.....someone saw him coming.

The only way the Thai gov'  will rid this place of soi dogs and stray beach dogs is if they get pressured from news sources printing this story overseas.  Locals and tourists need to email the gov'  departments complaining about soi dogs and stray beach dogs chasing and biting tourists and kids.

 

This needs people action ....   not just words on a website forum,  no one in gov'  reads AN.

The problem of stray dogs will only be taken seriously when a Chinese tourist gets mauled.

Doubtful even then. Most likely the China tourist will be reimbursed medical expenses the next day and have a dog  bow wow wai.

Hope they are ok. I have never been to Krabi but it seems strange I have never heard of soi dogs attacking people (aggressive yes) other than when they are with their owner. Reminds me when I was on Koh Jum 18 months ago I was on my own at 20-00 pm walking back from a beach bar, in the distance I saw four dogs approaching (s--- was my reaction) when they got 10 meters from me they dropped to the ground, total silence, when I had passed they carried on. Next morning I asked at the hotel, answer they eat dogs down there

I'm kind with the "Man bit by dog attacked by local hospital". I had my hand nearly removed by a dog a couple of years back. I don't think I put out much more than a 1000 baht. That included the shots and the returns to have it cleaned and redressed.

it's early, I'm on my first cup of coffee, and I had to read this 10 times.

 

maybe someone out there will understand.

[Thingamabob]

No matter what all the dog/animal haters say the fact is that it is very unusual for a dog to attack a human unless provoked.

[Elkski]

I'm sure the government will pay for his hospital care plus some Flowers.  Isn't that what the new  departure fee is for.

Got to agree, its irrelevant where his wife is from! maybe a translation problem?

It is impossible because Buddhism.

These are feral dogs and it is unusual for them NOT to attack unprovoked. Nothing to do about dog hating.

[petermik]

There is a long history of dog attacks on Ao Nang beach......nothing ever gets done about it though..........

Once a steady turnover of Chinese tourists is established there won't be any dogs left.

Reimbursed Thai style with a basket of fruit as usual

Ao Nang beach dogs are the most infamous in the Kingdom, not sure why but there have been several attacks expecially to kids in the past

Yes,  they read AN.  And simply chuckle at the farangs complaining to no avail.

impossible to kill a dog, but no problem for a person...in traffic, with a gun or after a rape etc.. That is Buddhism too?

None of what you are subsequent gurning about is uniquely Buddhist either but you are doing a splendid job of lurching off-topic.

Yes, you could be right , Saying that some Soi dogs have been Mistreated and provoked before  Than those dogs will bite anyone that comes along .

We have one in the village here It attacks motor bikes and people /bite, if one carries a Stick /Pvc pipe then it won't attack. One old lady she has been bitten 3 times by the same dog. It won't be long now before it gets baited  like the other ones before this one.

Well, they at least saw his OPD/travel insurance limit of THB 20,000 and decided to make full use of that !

[Stargeezr]

Well this Thai man who lives in America with his American wife, is lucky to not have lost 

a limb to a stray dog, while he was on holidays back in Thailand.    I got chases by a pack of strays, and the next day I went back with several 

hamburgers for the dogs. They never chased anyone after that.  I had one rich guy in the area

who stopped me and thanks me for my service. He had been harassed by these dogs lots of times.

  Sometimes you just have to solve a problem by yourself. There are still a few million stray dogs

that should be dealt with however.
