Time to Call Soi Dog Foundation! I am quite sure the poor doggies have been completely traumatised by this terrible incident and perhaps need some councelling, extra food and quality dog care time... It's a crazy world we live in...

you're totally over. You and some others are beyond sarcasm. Yes, those strays should be taken away. And those who attacked people should be culled immidiately. The owner (or past owner) has to be found and made to pay and be punished. And after there are no more strays left - every new stray should be arrested and the owner found and let him pay for the food and have a heavy punishment

Thanks for the kind answers. I have to correct myself. We'll arrive about 2 p.m. Thinking about van or taxi now. (Hotel wants more than 5k Baht for a van, so we're looking for alternatives) 

 

Would you recommend to book ahead via internet or negotiate at the scene?

It should not have been settled like this.

So sad a woman being in a situation when she don't know how to care for her baby.

This country has other people who really needed to be arrested and jail (not only red bull runner and those who helped him) - fgar more
