Italian Restaurant Soi 11 Bangkok

[Hanzkneez]

I was in this restaurant last week and had ordered when some older farangs came in with a couple of young guys and two dogs - yes fuc_king dogs!! One was a Labrador which ran over and ate bread from my side-plate before it was dragged away without any apology. They had a small rat sized dog with them which sat on a chair at the table and ate from the table while the Labrador had to jump up and was allowed to eat from the plates on the Table.

I cancelled my food drank up and asked for my bill - the owner or partner an Italian guy called Vito, told me they were "powerful lawyers" and there was no law against dogs eating from the table !!!! I took a picture on my phone as I could not belive what had occured - unbelievable.

Really strange!I am not condoning,but i understand the owner,he's between two fires.I run a small business for fun and i don't care about profit,lawyers or not,i would not allow that in my place.

For legal reasons I have changed the topic title. Naming and shaming on the forum is not allowed.

[bkkjames]

short sighted owner, no wonder i hardly see anyone in that place.

if he feels the need to feed the fetishes of some 60 year old nutbags, then close the restaurant to the public.

in the west he would get shut down for that - here I suspect he gains face from it.

For Italian, try Giani at Soi Tonson.

I have not seen a dog there.

[surayu]

Do they use a pizza delivery service that looks like this as well?

A dog restaurant.

Amazing Thailand.

[onnut]

you should see some of the dogs that eat at my local!

maybe the Tourist Authority would promote this to get some more numbers here - it makes more sense than some of their schemes

They should come up with a program.. say....hmm.. an Elite Card ? That would get them into the dog best spas, dog resorts, dog massages. Even throw in a few cats to chase. That would be a winner.

Pretty funny - one of those things you don't see every day.

[Lancelot]

You were correct to pay up and leave. The market will solve this problem; I doubt there are enough doggie dining nuts to keep this place in business

Visited a Farang bar (which serves food) in Nong Khai last week and we counted 7 dogs inside including one with a litter of pups, there were any number of dogs outside, the place stank. A quick beer which had been ordered before seeing what was going on BUT never again.

The locals will know which one I'm refering too! Didn't stay long enough to hear him complain about the lack of punters like the others are doing, for sure he'll have to wait much longer for an upturn in his economic fortunes.

In Nong Khai? - maybe the dogs were on the menu?

[dantilley]

I think I know where this place is.... there's excellent Italian food to be had just a few yards up the soi at Limoncello. Some other excellent bars and restaurants along the soi too - no need to go to this kind of place which allows people to bring their pets in with them.

[cathyy]

How about when it's the farang owner's mangy dogs wandering freely about, trying to jump in your lap? That's a place we don't go anymore.

[zzaa09]

Uncouth and uncivilised. And some consider Asians disconnected....?!?

[SMEEERE]

Hard to believe,.were they using the utensils ?

That's Sakon Nakhon about 150km South East. My favorite street vendors buying the soi dogs for a plastic bucket operate out of there.

probably got more manners than their asshol_e owners! maybe they should take the dogs to a Korean restaurant next time and see how that works out for them

[bkkjames]

now i know why the all-you-can-eat lunch buffet looked a little off.

Had a delicious sandwich at Smoothie Blues in Chiang Mai with my wife the other day and low and behold... a foreigner and his girlfriend came in with two fairly large dogs and sat down. We we're sitting in the open air but covered section. The dogs we're tied up at a chair adjacent to our table. I was a bit taken aback at first but the dogs we're very well trained and behaved.

I'm not a dog lover and don't allow them in my place and there is certainly no comparison to the OP's post. However these dogs IMO most definitely added to the convivial ambience of the restaurant.

Just depends on the place, I suppose.

you may not say that if the muts took a shit while you were eating - I think dogs need to keep out of Restaurants where people are eating

[Hanzkneez]

I notice this dump is still open -

I have been in Venezia before but didnt see dogs when I was in -

You guys are on to something here, but I think we finally see Thailand's real "HUB" opportunity -- perhaps one that's more realistic than being the education hub, telecommunications hub, Asian financial hub, and all the other "hub" possibilities that have been laughingly suggested by the honored members of gevernment. They should shoot for being the Dog Restaurant Hub of Asia, maybe even the world.

Dogs eating on or at the table is a little strange. But as long as it is not on my table also -mai be lai- for me.

SINCE I KNOW (G0T TO KNOW) THE PEOPLE, I LOVE THE ANIMALS.

What difference does that make? It was the owner who allowed it.
