prakhonchai nick Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 This morning at 5am, on my way back home to Isaan, and completely sober 3 wild adult pigs and 2 piglets crossed in front of my car on the road between Tapppryha and the Big Buddha. An amazing sight for a built up city. Anybody else come across them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil B Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Bet there are many pig roasts down Walking St tonight, the balloon chasing mob will be happy. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHdiver Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Yes, I did see them more then once, not sure if they are wild, but they look like it. If nobody would own them, they would be dead by now. To many people from Isaan down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bel Mondo Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Wild Pigs On The Road – Of course we have all heard and seen them – aren’t those the geriatrics who ride those obnoxiously loud Harley's? The same guys the Thais point to and say (In Thai, of course) “ Big noise, small (x)ick”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightOwl888 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I see wild pigs in Pattaya all the time. But they are not on the road, they are sitting on chairs on the beach under those umbrellas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To many people from Isaan down here. Hey, I am not from Isaan, but from Europe, and I think Wild pigs are delicious! I even saw wild pigs in the suburbs of Bangkok, crossing the road in front of me.

pattaya_girl Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 A few months back I saw a huge black pig running wild close to the Pattaya Courts, then a couple of months ago we went on out sunday drive around on the bike, and we found a soi with poor thai families, they had lots of pigs and baby pigs, it was close to where i had seen the big black one, so i presumed it had got out. I never saw any running wild since then though, around Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I think you will find that 'wild' pigs have not been attracted by the city lights and are not roaming the sois of Pattaya looking for a meal, but are escaped from someone's pen. In the first area reported I would guess that they live on the seaside of the road - I have been down that way in the past and seen many shacks with pigs and chickens being raised on scraps. We have a few piglets up country currently - dark brown hairy things with go-faster stripes along their flank and they will BBQ up nicely next year. As for catching Pattaya's wild pigs....

Guderian Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 There's even a picture of the wild pigs in the Jomtien Hotmale column in the latest Pattaya Today. http://www.pattayatoday.net/index.php?acti...ews&id=3373 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kedawi Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 In all probability not wild a such.....many people farm "wid" pigs around here. they can run wild for a while and after a certain age are penned up fattened and slaughtered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
