advancebooking Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 The wife and I have been looking for houses to rent and there are not so many options to be honest. After much searching we recently found a good option. The first thing I noticed after parking the cars were the 3 barking fluffy small rat dogs with their high pitched tone. During the 20min we were inside the house the dogs did not stop. We have been back 2 nights in a row to see what the situation is and both times the little buggers were barking non stop. Last night the 3 owners were sitting outside the front door step eating dinner and when we drove past I noticed the 3 neurotic dogs were in their cages. They were barking non stop and the owners dont seem to mind. Its like it is relaxing to them or maybe they do not notice. I have nothing against obese thai's but the 3 of them were '3 fat ladies' and they look like morons who have no idea about their surroundings. I asked the wife it this would bother her if we moved into the house and she replied 'so so'..... I dont know what to do. When we were walking around the streets there were 4 other dogs sitting in the middle of the road and another neighbour has 3 dogs but they dont seem to bark. thanks for your opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gray42 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Well, in my experience once the dogs start to recognize you they may stop barking. BUT, as you saw, anyone they don't recognize they will bark at. I have one bigger dog that lives next door to me and she barks at anybody she doesn't recognize as well as runs after you acting like she's going to bite you (she's never actually bit someone), but my house is sealed pretty well so it doesn't bother me. I kinda of like having an "alarm" that may scare aware thieves. Little yappy dogs I can't stand, especially ones that bark at *everything*. My advice, don't do it. Thais are much better at ignoring annoying noises than most foreigners. One thing you should do, tell the owner of the house why you aren't moving in. Maybe she can do something about it...

samran Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I normally have a distaste for owners of ratty shitty dogs too. Id be more worried about your potential neighbours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 The dogs are fine ....with a bit of luck they may grow a bit. It is the ones outside the cage that put them there I would be more worried about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyG Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Pomeranians? Ghastly little dogs. Bark at the slightest provocation and keep barking. They should deport them all back to Pomerania. However, I would also be concerned about the dogs roaming free in the street. Sounds like a down market location to me and best avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko45k Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Keep looking, if the dogs are bothering you now imagine 6 months hence. And a substantial deposit to lose! Plus there is a good chance bad feeling will have developed between you and these neighbours, sounds like you dislike them already. Neighbour's dogs and soi dogs are a constant source of aggravation. I recently had to remove a dead cat our 'friendly' pack took care of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johninbkk Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Not so many options. There seems to be thousands of properties available..... What district are you looking at?

BrooklynNY Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Who knows, your Thai wife could be in the similar figure in the (near) future when she reaches middle age. Why bother when knowing that there are three barking dogs as your neighbors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1FinickyOne Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Maybe I don't get this post? How can you have no idea what to do? If the roof were falling in, it would be better - you can patch it, repair it. If the dogs are annoying now and you don't live there, imagine how you will feel after 2-3 sleepless nights. I have no idea what the neighbor's weight has to do with the situation other than you seem to be taking a nasty shot at that and their mentality. I hope you don't move in next to someone skinnier or smarter than you and have to deal with insults. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker1 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I would be inclined to talk to the owner of the house you are interested in renting and advise them of your desire to rent, but the dog problem must be fixed before you sign the contract. If this is not possible, keep looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuenyongman Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I know what it is like. I have the same problem. they keep them in a cage and do not even live on the property. They had their water disconnected months ago.too. She also had a boyfriend who had fighting cocks kept under a wicker type basket out side their gate. Its a pity there is not a R S P C A here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotpoom Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 What exactly are you hoping to find out by posting your experience here. What appears to me is that you are asking us if YOU can live beside three barking dogs.......how can we tell you what you are able to live with if you yourself do not know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songhua Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 How dare there be fat Thai people living next door to a house a foreigner chooses to live in. And in Thailand no less! Move to a gated community full of foreigners - they all eat at their dining tables and their dogs don't bark. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
