The ironic thing is I live in rural Isaan and thai drivers have no respect for animals in the road and drive crazy speeds. If a farang hits a dog its hell to pay but for a thai it goes unpunished . So much for their Budhist beliefs that all life is sacred !
I stay near Mahidol Salaya for study. Some of house dog near my apartment really frightening me. It bark and chase me or my friends . I also don't understand why they keep that kind dog near campus. I think maybe thai ppl get to used by this environment but for us.. it's really scary. Thanks for sharing your story
I would have loved to start a help streetdogs of Ao nang!! I love the place. And I love the streetdogs. I fed ca 20 dogs there. It was so terrible, (I dont understand how they dont help them better, the people that live there.. but I understand of course that if people cant feed themselves then its not easy helping dogs.. ) In Norway we would have started a shelter and helped them. I was so happy that I could help when I was there!! Wish I could do more... 🙏🙏🥰
I was thinking of visiting southeast Asia (Thailand, Phillipines and Malaysia) but Im scared of dogs. Is it really that common to encounter strays in Bangkok? In China I saw none.
oooooo this subject makes my blood boil. I'm with you on this. Culture (& laziness) play a big part in Thais attitude! Got some stories to share on this subject!
I walked by the same dog everyday under a parking garage in Bangkok for three months. No problem. Government said it’s ok to take your mask off outside. Now every time I walk by him he growls and nips at my heels🤷🏻♂️. I guess he doesn’t like farangs 😂
The dogs change nature at night. The dogs are peaceful and mind their own business in the day on the soi but at night it is different. You would not walk in my village at night without a stick and be prepared to use it. The worst thing you can do is show any fear, they can tell for sure. They come in packs of four sometimes. There is a dog in my village that has no problem jumping the 2 metre wall of his owner's property.
I may consider move to Thailand with my dogs. May I know if people steal dogs in Thailand? It is very often happened in country like Vietnam where they steal people dogs to sell to another person or for meat.
I was a paper boy as a kid so I know all about it. There was a dog named "King", a Tibeten Mastiff that was a terror for years. It bite my brother Kenny while he was delivering papers. King bite me while I was collecting from the owner. The dog walked right around the owner standing in the doorway handing me money and grabbed my leg. The owner kicked the dog off the porch and beat him severly in the front yard right in front of me. Gave me a paper towel to stop the bleeding and sent me on my way sniveling. The dog came after us for years until my Brother David brought a big stone down on his head and knocked him out. About a quarter mile down the road, Dave looked back to see King stumble back to his yard. King lived a few more years but mostly stayed on the porch and didn't go after the paperboy anymore.
they are territorial ,just defending their patch . I have been in Thailand 20 years and over the years I've had well over a hundred muts .I also feed and care for many more in my village in Sa Kaeo province . They are Thais ,not their problem their dog is aggressive, same with everything,,be it driving, discarding rubbish ,noise.etc .How long have you been here
From what you and other foreigners have stated in online videos, it appears much of mainstream Thai culture is unable to responsibly: * own pets; * operate motor vehicles on shared roads; * discuss difficult issues; * enforce their laws; * treat women; * manage solid and liquid waste; * manage air pollution, especially in the north; * provide potable drinking water. Surely this all can't be the case ...
Carry a stick and you will have absolutely nothing to worry about. I recommend a brush handle, something with a little bit of heft but not too much, just use it like a walking stick. I have beaten and kicked many dogs, nobody ever gave me a hard time about it.
I've been several times in southeast Asia and dogs in tailand are the worst. Right now im travelling visiting new islands and will finish in phuket to see two friends who live here. I think this is the last time coming this side of the world because of dogs. Sawasdee and bye bye
Le problème ne vient pas des chiens, mais de l'irresponsabilité des humains. Il n'existe pas de normes sanitaires en Thaïlande pour limiter la prolifération des chiens errants, notamment la stérilisation et aussi la responsabilisation des maîtres qui ne stérilisent pas leurs animaux domestiques, et abandonnent des portées entières dans les rues. Tout est à revoir.
Picking up a rock to throw at them, or even pretending to pick up a rock is often enough to make a dog retreat. All Thai dogs have been stoned. I broke up a 4 way dog fight yesterday with a length of blue plastic drain pipe which was lying around. One of the dogs was mine. I just whacked then all (on the back) until they stopped. A nine iron would do a dog serious harm, overkill in my opinion. A stick would be better. I have 2 soi dogs, I've had them 9 years now. They have never bitten anyone but get into scrapes with other dogs and they chase the odd delivery guy. I also cycle and there's a bunch of dogs at an abandoned hotel will try and have a nip. I find getting off the bike and using it as a shield works. Where do you get the 10% rabies figure from? Sounds high. One guy once maced my dog, she was doing nothing but wagging her tail and being nosey around his dog. I was torn. I wanted to smack him but also wanted to wash her eyes. I did the latter.
I have lived in Thailand since 1968. Dogs bark but I've never had a problem. To understand dog/human relationships here, you need to understand Buddhist/Cultural views on life.
Dude stop. Nothing you posted makes what he said untrue nor invalidates it Every word hr said was conveyed w respect and empathy, towards both the dogs, And Thai culture. Not 1 word was a criticism. Merely conveying that street dogs pose a literal threat to a person's safety. Especially for foreigners, because of the Thai mindset, especially towards any foreigner, the rabies risk, and the fact that in even under the Best circumstances? Thai roads are dangerous. Especially when, if bitten? You need to get there quickly. His position? 1) Why wouldn't people be more mindful of the safety of other human beings? Control their dogs? At least roaming the streets? Why let strays roam? You have to try hard to not see that.
Your stories crack me up. I know you're being serious about being annoyed but there's something endearing about the Thais in your stories.
The ironic thing is I live in rural Isaan and thai drivers have no respect for animals in the road and drive crazy speeds. If a farang hits a dog its hell to pay but for a thai it goes unpunished . So much for their Budhist beliefs that all life is sacred !
Yes, the stories in numerous RUclips videos suggest there is a Thai-supremacist attitude towards everything there.

Got some stories to share on this subject!
you can share your stories with me by email and I can read them out on the channel if you like.
Got bit in Rayong. Police killed the dog I was told. I got rabies shots.. 5 of them...
you are giving great advice .... Thank You... going to use a lot of it... Hobby, do u have Patreon
That's their attitude in a nutshell alright. "Bad farang murdered an innocent Thai cat, now we can gang up on him!"
Been to Thailand 12 times, Love your channel O visa ASAP
Does this pertain to everywhere in Thailand or just the rural areas?
The street dog problem, is all over Thailand.
@@alphaomegadaily Thank you

I get the same feeling sometimes. I think that some street dogs can determine who is Thai and who is Farang.
Yeah! Because we Smell different to local people and dogs have a very sensitive smell
It’s disgusting it’s not a problem until there children get hurt they need to clean the streets of these stray dogs
It is kinda interesting because how Thais treat elephants in some instances would be considered abuse in the western world
It's just a different culture mate!
They always ' go ' me. I fear them almost as much as Thai women.
Well said.
Quite right. Thai women have access to knives, dogs don't
You won't be a problem if the dog attacks you. If it tried to bite you fight back.

They come in packs of four sometimes.

I understand completely. Once they are in a pack they get very visious.
What you said about knocking down the cat and how the thais reacted is a reason I will only ever be a tourist in Thailand and not live there haha.
I may consider move to Thailand with my dogs. May I know if people steal dogs in Thailand? It is very often happened in country like Vietnam where they steal people dogs to sell to another person or for meat.
Actually a good question. I can tell you thats why I did not move to bali because dont want someone eat them. In Thailand idk tho
@@Darko0699if Thai people eat dogs then you will not see many stray dogs on street, use common sense.

What do you do when you live in a shoe! Checked out the new channel but exact same stuff as before :(
From what you and other foreigners have stated in online videos, it appears much of mainstream Thai culture is unable to responsibly:
* own pets;
* operate motor vehicles on shared roads;
* discuss difficult issues;
* enforce their laws;
* treat women;
* manage solid and liquid waste;
* manage air pollution, especially in the north;
* provide potable drinking water.
Surely this all can't be the case ...
take very hot peppers make a paste then add water filter it pour in a bottle that you can squirt i promise they will remember you and run next time
Why Bangkok, versus Chaing Mia, or ?????
Carry a stick and you will have absolutely nothing to worry about. I recommend a brush handle, something with a little bit of heft but not too much, just use it like a walking stick. I have beaten and kicked many dogs, nobody ever gave me a hard time about it.
That's a good idea.
yes 1 in 10 have rabies in Thailand I plan on getting vaccinated because it is 99% fatal with out it. very few can survive.
"10% of soi dogs have rabies. Just my opinion" lol"
Need to start a channel ? U tube..
I've been several times in southeast Asia and dogs in tailand are the worst. Right now im travelling visiting new islands and will finish in phuket to see two friends who live here. I think this is the last time coming this side of the world because of dogs. Sawasdee and bye bye

Why let strays roam?
You have to try hard to not see that.
