I agree with most comments above. 

 

I think Thais, in general, have no idea about dogs. In 12 years Ive rarely seen anyone walk their dog for exercise. Only once I think. 

 

The other day I was at phrom pong bts. I saw a lady with 2 small ratty dogs in a pram. she started walking towards Empshere. She could have let the neurotic dogs out to walk that 500m. No. Too stupid. Dogs were whining being stuck in the pram. Totally clueless and stupid

Dogs are permitted in the Central Westville mall in Nonthaburi. I have never seen so many small lap dogs being pushed around in prams and pushchairs and being carried in papooses.

They often see dogs as vermin and have no problems letting them die from diseases on the sides of roads. The ones who like dogs do indeed seem to not understand them and are neglectful.

 

Keeping dogs as house pets appears to be a really new part of Thai society and they just don't know much yet. The business is booming though since birth rates collapse in Thailand and women are working office jobs and keeping pets instead of raising children at home like before.

Ive seen thais beat dogs and ive seen them beat kids. The transition should be seamless

I disagree  .....   so why allow 1,000,000 soi dogs to crap everywhere and bite kids. Why not destroy the vermin if that's the case instead of dumb thais feeding them on the street so they live and breed more vermin ???

I mean they see them as a lowly form of life. Why they feed them and then allow to become diseased and suffer is a mystery.

 

The other month I saw a puppy get hit by a car and owner just dragged the body off the road and threw it down. They'll feed them but don't really care about them. Kind of like how we view keeping fish or something like that.

A contentious dispute between neighbours has garnered widespread attention after a woman received a threatening letter about her dog's barking. The letter, posted on March 11 in the Adorable Dog Lovers Facebook group, accused her of allowing her pet to disturb the community. The neighbour ominously warned that if the barking didn't cease, they would kill the dog.

 

The letter urged the owner to be considerate of the community's peace. The online post quickly attracted a variety of reactions, with some advising the owner to evaluate her dog's behaviour, while others suggested involving the police due to the threat.

 

Several commenters offered alternatives, such as dog training to reduce excessive barking, or mediating the issue with building management to explore solutions.

 

 

 

In response, the woman clarified on her Facebook page that her dog does not bark persistently but responds to stimuli like passing people or other dogs. She assured that she regularly checks with nearby residents and has received feedback indicating minimal disturbance.

 

The owner acknowledged her dog's barking but argued the letter's claims were exaggerated. She called for a measured approach to the situation, advocating for dialogue and understanding to prevent further escalation. The incident highlights the challenges in balancing pet ownership with community harmony and the importance of seeking amicable solutions to neighbourhood disputes, reported The Thaiger.

So it's a fact that her dog's barking is disturbing. 

She has to react in a proper way. Dog training or move out or keep the dog inside eg.

Of course the owner doesn’t think her little doggy barks too much, I bet! I don’t see Thai people train or discipline their dogs.  50 dogs living near or at the landfill, starving, fighting and mating constantly. Not sure about dogs and the Thai culture, sadly it’s depressing

even small dogs in a confined space like a condo can be really annoying for neibours..

Some owners are oblivious to the fact a yapping dog can be very annoying and indignant when a complaint is brought to their  attention.

Been there done that got the username. Seriously can get very bad for the farang. I know .. anyway best bet is to try and involve the Head Man if in a village .. that helped. Eventually  the perpetrator  was discovered . Please be  very careful taking on neighbours .... !

Largely because Thais do not believe in neutering animals so the dog populate grows. Plus they basically only like puppies and the adult dogs too often end up looking into their old home from the outside. This is a different case involving someone actually keeping the adult dogs but allowing them to bark all day. I wonder if the dogs are forced to lead their entire lives outdoors, hence lack the control that owners might exert if the animals were allowed to live indoors. One way or another, Thais in general are not among the world's most knowledgeable pet owners.

I think I posted this story before - but it fits here:

 

There useed to be a series on UK television called "Noisy or Nasty Neighbours" or similar.

 

In one episode, one family complained to BBC/ITV about how their neighbour's dog was constantly barking at all times of day/night. It would be worse if he went away for a holiday and left the dog there - barking constantly. The family complained to him, but he did nothing. So they recorded the dog barking and put it on a loud speaker (looped), pointed it at their neighbour's home, and turned it up full blast when THEY went on holidays. 

 

Even after the dog died they kept playing it over and over.. 🙃
