F1fanatic Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 We don't live in Patong but street or feral dogs were certainly a problem in Chalong and also Kathu 3 years ago Its odd how we all have such different perceptions of soi dogs. I live in Rawai but (obviously) travel to Chalong frequently for bits and pieces I need. Can't say I've EVER been threatened by any soi dog anywhere, let alone a pack of them!

Hooters Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I cant vouch for Patong however there a plenty soi dogs in BKK. What I see are a lot of very sick and uncared for dogs. God knows how much they are suffering with worms and fleas, a lot of the older dogs are barley walking crippled with arthritis. Best thing to do is round em all up and put em down, even the younger ones will end up the same, its no dogs life out on the sois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just lurk near garbage bags and only seem aggressive when walking past the garbage area. Its normal dog behavior, try to touch any domesticated dog while they chew on a bone and you're likely to get growled at or nipped. Soi dogs get a bad rep because they are unsightly with mainge and emaciated which gives the image of a slum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taken the time and effort to ensure that NONE of my dogs would even growl if I remove their bone, food etc. Not sure they'd be as tolerant to strangers though...

I dont think many dogs would bite their owner, unless they think they are top dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food aggression (to their owner) is just the first step towards further aggression and belief that they are the 'top dog'! Which is why I always nipped it in the bud v quickly.

Gers1873 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Why do people keep rembling on about getting shots AFTER being bitten. This is Thailand where 15-30 people per year die from rabies. Get the shots before you are bitten and please ensure that your children are immunized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I think the mystery is solved. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia-pacific/thai-navy-rescues-750-dogs-destined-for-cooking-pots-in-vietnam/2012/01/12/gIQAPdqBtP_story.html BANGKOK — Thai authorities say they have rescued more than 750 dogs destined for cooking pots in Vietnam.
