It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

Not sure how accurate this is but my missus tells me that the council actually offer free Sterilisation on a regular basis. While us folk who cannot read Thai have no way of noticing the the time and dates displayed for such clinics, the general Thai population does. One must then ask oneself why so few people take advantage of this. In my opinion, this attitude will not be changed by any one of us at this point. The solution lies in teaching the children of today that we have a certain obligation to dogs as it is only through us that they are here in the first place. Anyway, my point is that you will not change the way the average adult Thai thinks about stray dogs just as you will not change the attitude towards throwing as much litter as possible wherever possible. The same goes for the driving habits, etc, etc. The big worry is, the children don't seem to be getting taught any different.

No, I'm not bitching about Thailand - I'm just stating what is clearly fact.

Oh and by the way, I also know of quite a few wealthy and rich farang who are happy to feed the strays outside their gates but are too damned tight fisted to go and spend a couple of hundred baht on sterilisation.
Don't try to impress me with your manner of dress cos a monkey himself is a monkey no less - cold fact
