I ate a dog in Thailand on several occasions. Usually grilled meat or cooked livers. It's not a thing that would be sold on the markets. But it's easy to get here in Isaan.

Are you short of a few quid...?  ????

We lived in Sa Kaeo 2010-11 and weekly this dog pickup truck would pass through collecting stray dogs.

Never knew where they went, just 'away'. Either northwards, or east across the border to Cambodia I don't know.

Understand collections stopped soon after 2011.

People should be free to eat whatever they want. I like beef, so why should question the right of others to like dog. Now, it is probably safer to eat herbivorous animals as is limits the virus' opportunity to jump from one species to another.

Same as you 

13 years in Thailand , 11 married to a lovely Thai lady.

 Never met or met anyone who directly knows of anyone that eats dogs in Thailand. I heard of people eating dogs in Laos but that's the extent of it. And I don't think you will find anyone with direct knowledge in this forum . All you will get is rumors. 

Yes they eat dog.I live in Sakon Nakhon and we have restaurants that do have dog on the menu.

At least they used to have.When we get to many soi dogs in the streets we also have phone-number to call and a big truck come and collect.

Better to ask Thai people question about thailand.

Many low knowledge people just imagine the answer. Stupid.

 

99% Thai people think eat dog is terrible, like a rabbit etc. is a pet, not food.

 

SOME people in Sakon Nakorn province, Issan, eat dog. Everyone in thailand know about that. Is on the news. 

Sakon Nakorn province have many Vietnam blood people, since long time. It come from that.

 

MOST people in Sakon Nakorn do NOT eat dog. 

 

SO 10% people in 1/77 province. 

Not much

Where do you get off?

 

Most Thais know nothing about other regions of their country other than what they see on the endless junk travel shows on TV.

 

Yes, you can read about the village in Sakhon Nakhon that I descended from Vietnamese people in a lonely planet guidebook, but the reality is, it's available all over the villages over Issan. 

 

It's just general village life to eat whatever you can lay your hands on, wether you forage bamboo shoots to make a soup, scour the rice field for land crabs, farm some insects, steal a chicken or use you catapult to catch a rat.

 

As you say, some people do, some people don't .. Maybe it's that local people may be the best people to ask, but maybe you aren't the best person to ask, heh?

 

I have read a few of your posts, There are better ways to put your point than rubbishing others first hand knowledge gathered from experience.

They even dig up rabies infested dogs to eat them, was on this forum during the rabies outbreak...the boys who ate them didn't know they were buried because of rabies.

Yinn is allowed to express her opinion, like every other poster here.

She has however the wrong attitude to present it in a way as if she is the representative of the Thai people.

She is in no way.

If it get rid of all the soi dogs then thats a plus. imo

Rats, but not dogs.

Aren't sweeping generalizations fun?

 

A species of field rodent is popular bush meat in parts of rural Isaan. They don't 'eat rats in Issan'.

 

A few, localised communities in Sakon Nakhon eat dog meat. They don't 'eat dogs in Isaan'.

 

Thanks for your attention.

And @recom273? What's his/her qualification to claim that his experience of Thai life is in any way representative or empirical?

 

The weekend does tend to bring out the TV armchair experts though.

So it seems you have confirmed Thai folk do eat dogs, that was the OP. What you eat down south is another matter.

I am from the south of the UK, we do not, as a whole, eat Haggis.....????

I have never heard of anyone who eats dogs in Issan. They do eat alot of rather strange stuff. But, very tame compared to the Chinese, who eat stuff no rational or sane human being would ever consider eating.

It was a long time ago.
The dog slaughterhouse which was in Tharee, a small town on route 22 between Sakon Nakhon and Nakon Phanom has been closed for more than ten years.
(and I know Thai people who have already eat rabbit)
For the rest it is true, the province is home to a significant number of Thai people from Vietnam.
most of them continue to speak Vietnamese among themselves, to go to mass on Sundays because many are Catholic;
and when we enter their house, it is not the photo of the king of Thailand that we see first but that of Onc 'Ho ...

When a dog was run over in front of my girlfriend's house in Isaan, I grabbed a shovel and started rolling up my sleeves.  She's like - what are you doing?  I'm going to bury the poor <deleted> before he starts to stink up the place.  And she's like no, no, no, just wait.  It's a big dog and she's squeezing my bicep for emphasis, it's a big dog - you'll see.  And sure enough 10 minutes later a ute comes by, these young guys pick up the dog and drive off. 

 

A similar thing happened with a cow.  An impromptu party was launched and I even partook of the raw 'beef salad', which wasn't bad really - certainly fresh.

In my village where I live there is a well known Thai family who eats dogs. My neighbors dog bit this neighbors buffalo a few months back. The poor dog was never seen again, My wife told me that he was sentenced to death which is village terms means sent to the family that's eats dog............That's one way getting rid of your dog up here.

A lot of Christians in Tharee, good place to see Christmas lights.

There was a Catholic radio in this tower at the top of which there is St Michael slaying the dragon

Don't think they eat dogs. I see 50 every morning when I walk with my mutt.

Around reservoir they would have a feast if that way inclined.

No other wildlife to be seen. Saw a couple ants other day.
