    BEST VIDEO EVER!!! I recall volunteering a decade ago on Samui and it was a tough slog and nowhere near as beautiful as this place. So great to see so many dogs having their needs taken care of even if only for the short term. I feed 7-10 soi dogs a day here in Chiang Mai and boy do they know when it's me coming and show so much trust and affection. Please please support the animals. 😊😊😊

    Oh you legend.
    I've got 3 rescued soi dogs, and my house is guarded by another 12 doggies.
    In the West we pick the dog...in Thailand, the dog picks you.
    Good to see what's going on Paddy.
    Soi Dog foundation is in my Will (it's registered as a UK charity), and I'll be leaving A LOT of money to these heroes.

    Paddy I bless you. In Hinduism an older person can bless a younger one. I'm older. I'm a dog lover all the way. My dad has 14 doggies back on his land in the mountains of Colombia near Medellin. Basically most of them are adopted. As Mark Twain once said ''The more I get to know people, the more I love my dog.'' Thank you for helping bring more awareness to SOI DOG.

    i volunteered here with WEARESUMMERCAMPS thailand and it was so rewarding i even got to walk a special husky Allechino who was abandoned by his owners during covid. Also the cat section is the sweetest. All the cats are the most affectionate and will come cuddle you. You can tell they just want to be adopted to bad. An amazing foundation

    Hiya Paddy. You are a star sharing your time to help out.
    Aww the dogs have gone through so much.
    My heart. Gorgeous fur babies.
    Cuddles and time. Perfect.
    Respect to you and all the volunteers.
    Haha. Buddy takes me for a walk daily if I have him on the lead.
    This place is amazing, what a wonderful foundation. And the staff that run it.
    Loved this.
    A great amount of money to help out. I hope all that can donate, do so.
    Shout out to Amanda. What a wonderful person.
    Wow. 1 million. That is amazing.
    All the dogs are gorgeous.
    Great video.
    Always Like and Share.

    Paddy mate, go over to Koh Samui and see Niall Harrison doing amazing things with street dogs. Any exposure for all the causes would be great. Spend a week with Nial, he's such a nice guy! He's on Happy Doggo, but Im sure you've heard of him. Absolute legend, him and his team of volunteers!!

    Beautiful video Paddy. I love the Soi Dog Foundation. I really miss these kind of pay it forward videos. Chris Parker used to do a lot of them. At one point we use to take in every stray that showed up at our door. We were up to 10 dogs at one point. I dream about building an animal rescue for my wife. She loves dog. I donated. Cheers!!!

    Hi, Paddy! I have just visited Soi Dog Foundation in Phuket 2 weeks ago. It is near to the airport but far from my accommodation. It was an insightful and lovely experience going through the free tour and interacting with the dogs and watching (no enough time) the cats. I felt emotional and full of empathy watching these injured and handicapped animals who had been abused by us, humans. I would love to come back to revisit again when I have more time at my disposal. Shall come back to volunteer walk and play the dogs and cats. Feel my happiest time spent is when seeing and spending time with them. I have already started monthly donation to Soi Dog. Wish one day I can contribute more in terms of money and time. Thank you for this wonderful video! Appreciate your efforts to help out. Cheers!

    I loved my time at the Soi Dog, definitely one of the best experiences I've ever done in Thailand. I've done it on my last two visits and I did H1 too. You were very lucky to get so many dogs who were into the water.
    The bus, I believe only picks up in Nai Yang, I stayed in Mai Khao on both my visits, the first time I got a tuk tuk, which was sorted out by my resort, and the 2nd time I had a car, and i loved the resort so much.

    Ciao Paddy, grazie infinite!
    Spero che il tuo video venga visualizzato da tanti.
    Qualche volta ho anche chiesto direttamente agli you tuber che seguo in Thailandia di dedicare tempo a questo argomento che a me tocca molto e che conoscendo,diventerebbe piu' facile ricevere degli aiuti.
    Sono donatrice di soi dogs come di altre fondazioni e sto seguendo i video di happydoggo a Samui che collabora con soidog riguardo le sterilizzazioni,episodio fantastico.
    Non sapevo pero' che si potesse far visita alla struttura( io farei il tour a pagamento)o addirittura poter fare il volontario.
    Quest' anno avevo chiesto a soi dog foundation in Bangkok se era possibile visitarli ma mi hanno detto che erano molto occupati quindi ho abbandonato l' idea perche' non volevo essere di intralcio.Ancora un grande grazie e aggiornaci ogni tanto, cosi' che rimanga sempre in mente questa magnifica realta' dove,anche una piccola donazione puo' fare la differenza quando si unisce a mille altre.
    Un caro saluto a tutte le persone che amano gli animali❤ ,i cani poi hanno in cuore speciale.
