Popular Post 2baht Posted March 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2023 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? 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ikke1959 Posted March 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2023 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... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post steven100 Posted March 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2023 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expat68 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnydrops Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of what you are subsequent gurning about is uniquely Buddhist either but you are doing a splendid job of lurching off-topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
