Hanzkneez Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauGR1 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 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.

bkkjames Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 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.

Amazing Thailand. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancelot Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdenner Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 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.

dantilley Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 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 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdenner Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 -----------In Nong Khai? - maybe the dogs were on the menu? That's Sakon Nakhon about 150km South East. My favorite street vendors buying the soi dogs for a plastic bucket operate out of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiman1 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hard to believe,.were they using the utensils ? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bojo Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 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. Regards Bojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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