my first visit was in 2000, and it was crazy how many dogs i saw on the streets. I was also amazed to see how they maneuvered around people and especially vehicles. I kept thinking i’m going to see so many dead dogs hit by cars. Maybe i was lucky because i never did see any hit by a car.

each visit since, there has been less dogs on the street.
My wife says that people’s views have changed and less dumping of puppies etc because they are being spayed and neutered more now than in the past. I believe as well the government had a program to collect up strays and spay and neuter them.

My last visit april 2017 i actually saw more stray cats than i did dogs.

This is my view just in the area i stay in Bangkok at my in laws neighbourhood.

It is very sad to see some dogs very hungry and with obvious health problems, but it has gotten much better than in the past.
