Katipo

I've been wearing a mask since I first started riding in Thailand, especially Bangkok. The pollution would irritate my throat within a day or two if I didn't.

Carry a sturdy stick about 2 metres long. Just waving it at them confidently (not aggressively) should be enough to keep them away. After a while, the dogs may get used to you and leave you alone. I have used this strategy successfully several times.

How does this type of miscommunication error happen so often over here? Even after all these years, I am stunned it can occur so regularly and people are Ok with it.
